Nothing to do with evacuating casualties , but rather my last week's start on removing the dust and grime from my western collection. Using a bowl of soapy luke-warm water the results were much better than I'd ever expected. The limits of the bowl-size I was using and the size of several of the larger building proved to be a bit of a challenge and the ampunt of space I needed was beyond what I had in my now very overcrowded games room - but I'm getting there.Here's the results of last week's efforts, with some before and after pictures.
Here's the results from the tray on the right:
 |
| Injuns and a lot more besides ! |
 |
| Lots of fencing (from Britains' farm series) |
 |
| Canoes , various bits and an old "Atlantic" figure ; |
 |
| How the Adobe Cantina originally looked... |
 |
| ...and after a deep clean ! |
 |
| Contents of the Cantina (obligatory slightly blurry photo) |
 |
| The Cantina's inhabitants |
 |
| The Telegraph building (old Scalextric) |
 |
| Cleaned up contents of the "Big Hotel" |
 |
| Indians and a lot of other 'bits' from one of the larger boxes |
 |
| Mostly Apaches - thought I had more ! |
 |
| Horses (bit obvious) found below the Injuns above |
 |
| Clean log cabin... |
 |
| ...and livery stable (that still need repairing) |
 |
| The inhabitants of the Diner |
 |
| 'Nice', 'clean' Diner. |
 |
| Originally buried in dust, the scratch-built and unpainted stove. |
 |
| Another box 'before'... |
 |
| ... part of its contents after cleaning |
 |
| ...and more |
 |
| ...and even more. |
 |
| A nicely cleaned up building. |
 |
| Possibly this is the sign for it! |
 |
| Nice and clean inside too |
 |
| The content of the above. |
 |
| Upstairs of the "Silver Dollar" |
 |
| Start of the 'vehicles' |
 |
| At the bottom of the second large box - more wagons to clean |
That's it the for another week, hopefully you could find something of interest in one or two of these pics and as always your comments are both welcomed and appreciated.
