Vaqueros

 We have a couple of players for Fist Full of Lead and Dead Mans Hand at my local club and I can say both games are a hoot.  I decided to paint my own crew.  Most of what everyone else is fielding is either generic cowboys, lawmen, Cavalry or Apaches.  I grew up on the Mexican border so Vaqueros and mariachis were a regular sight at Rodeos so I figured it was a good fit.  Black Scorpion Minatures had the best models and selection so I picked up thirteen.  If I want to do Curse of Dead Mans Hand I know where to find a Catrina and will only have to look for a La Llorona.  Here are the first three.  Pained with only thinned down washes in layers to build up the color.  Hope you like.

Step by step

 War Monkey on LAF asked for a step by step on the cavern sections so here it is.  Built the basic structure out of foamex and liquid nailed chunks of bark onto the walls and floor.  Filled the voids with foam.  Glued some 3d printed pieces that will end up textured too. 

Made a piping bag out of baking paper.  The duct tape is just a ring attached to itself to secure the bag so it does not unravel.  Filled with joint filling compound.  

Used the bag to put blobs of filler in between the chunks of bark and then used a wet brush to texture the filler. 

Once all of the spaces are covered in filler and set I add details such as permanent details and rubble.
