Outlaws Pt 2
I used an artist’s paint spatula to apply basing compound to help blend in the puddle based on the minis. I’ll let it dry overnight and then apply sand with PVA glue. Outlaws Pt 1
Great Escape Games minis are characterful but will require flash removal and seam removal/filing. Glued to MDF bases, I’ll cover the bases in a basing compound to help conceal those puddle bases on the minis. Snakessss!
Sometimes you need to ramp up your gunfights with snakes. Wagon Finale
Half way through painting the base with Army Painter Desert Yellow. 
Next I drybrushed the base with Army Painter Skeleton Bone and used PVC glue to add some clump foliage. 
I used superglue to glue the wagon into place. 
Finished! More Wagon Stuff
With the base covered in PVC glue, I covered it in sand. I briefly added the wagon to mark where the wheels will make contact with the base. 
With the contact points marked, I removed the wagon to make it easier to paint when the glue dries. Back to the Wagon
Finished up the team of horses. I also base coated the wagon’s MDF base in Army Painter Desert Yellow, then positioned the wagon and horses, then glued the horses in place and removed the wagon. I then used some base filler to even out the puddle bases in the horses before going to the next step.
I positioned the horses and wagon to work out where everything should go. Once satisfied I glued one horse into place and let the superglue dry before going on to the next step. 
Here I just repeated the first step with the second horse. Once I glued the second horse in place, I removed the wagon again. 
Once the glue dried, I added basing compound. Once it dries, I’ll paint it Desert Yellow, then add the sand, paint that, the finally glue the wagon back in place. 
Lawmen Pt 2
I’ve started applying washes on most of the minis. Once that’s finished I’ll start drybrushing and finish up the bases. They’re all pretty glossy at this point but will look better once they get a matte coat.
