Miniatures gaming is a heck of a lot of fun, but after a while you find
yourself wanting to bring more buildings, terrain, and customized pieces
to the game table to enhance the Wild West action. Now, neither of us
Mikes considers himself to be the handiest man around, but both of us
have managed to pull together some interesting projects for our Gutshot
games. Here’s a few photos and some commentary on some of our more
successful efforts.
Hope you enjoy seeing what we’ve been up to, and if you try anything
we describe here, please send us some photos of your efforts (which will
probably put our humble efforts to shame).

By the way, although
none of these projects are particularly dangerous or require a heckuva

PAINT THE COW TOWN
Detailing and modifying an
