About the Project
Now its the Summer Holidays.. My Youngest Cousin Holly is now off school and has been watching me terrain challenge come to life and she has been loving to watch it develop. Holly is a very artistic and creative girl with lots of fantastic ideas that just bubble out and when she saw my collection of horse minis for my Old West games she asked if she could help with the colours for them, OH YEA didn't i mention she is MAD about HORSES!! As i new she had a long summer holiday ahead of her i sat down and we discussed her doing a terrain project along side painting up some horses so she can let out some of her creative ideas on to the table top. After a long ride make of ideas she decided she wanted to make a Old West style Livery/Stables that she could design the lay out and have a home for the painted horses to go along side. Also after looking at my mini collection she loved see of my cowboy undead minis and wanted to add them to so thats how this "The End is Nigh" Terrain challenge begins. Holly hopes you love the project and she will hope to keep you all updated on its progress.

Stand Off!
I wanted to see the good guys and the bad guy with the stables and see the goody on the horse and bad guy on his horse
we played out some minis to see how they look on the terrain so far.
Lay Out 2
Once the fields were cut out holly look her time to decide how to position them on the table around the stabbles.
Nothing going to waist..
When cutting the door mat holly noticed that a lot of the fibres were coming out along the edges.
she thought it would make goos straw to go in the stables as horse bedding.
I collected the straw in a plastic pot to use later for the horse bedding in the stables.
The First Lay Out
We decided to lay out what we have on a table to see that the project was taking shape. the next job was to cut up a mat we got a homebase to make fields of grain around the livery (Cutting the mat was a job for me but holly was very bossy about how she wanted it cut)
I wanted the fields to be in lines like the cart had been puled down it.
All Built..
Once all the walls wear assembles they all fitted in to the bace and we have a livery stable for the ranch.
in addition we added the individual stools inside and uses the horse miniature bace to get the spacing right.
when we glued in the stables we put in the horses so we knew that we had room for all of them and the ladder to the feed store.
Building the Roof
The roof was more tricky and needed more glue
the erection of the roof was fun as parts of the structure needed fitting together at the same time before glueing the tiled section to the roof panels.
Out comes the PVA
First thing is to assemble all the parts in the kit in sub assemblies.
sometimes we had to make one bit and then come back to bits once the glue had dried.
once this was done we could assemble the frame of the building.
Lets Build a Stables.
First thing to do today is build the Stables for the horses at the ranch.
we want on to eBay and go a HDF Stable/Livery old west kit. holly liked this one as it had individual stools for the horses and a second level in the rafters for feed.
