Kai NRG Posted October 21, 2016 I've always wanted to do a bit of building in a cowboy genre, so I finally made time to do this two-build story. So Jep… tell us about these friends of yours, will ya? When did you say they’re coming? Oh, sometime this morning. They’re city slickers, you know. No telling how long it’ll take ‘em to get ready, or how many trunks they’ll be bringin’, or anything like that. *abrupt knock on the door* That’s probably them! – eh, Jep? Welcome, Bill! Come on in, Charlie! Good to see ya! Bill, Charlie, this is Wayne. *shakes hands* Howdy! *politely* Good day to you as well, sir. *guffaws loudly* Sir! How’s that, Bill? Not bad for your rough-and-readys, eh? *shakes hands with Wayne* And allow me to introduce you to Jack, another good friend of mine. Good to see some new faces out here, gentlemen! A pleasure to be seen, I’m tellin’ ya! What a time we had gettin’ ready for this trip! Didn’t we! What’s doing here in your neck of the woods? Bill and I, we’re up to anything. Shall we vamoose la ranch and pull over some buckin’ broncos, or what’s the program, eh cowboys? *aside* You’ve got some real yuppie friends, Jep. *embarrassed* Oh, it’s all talk. They’ll get over it. *raises voice* Well, in fact, I’m not sure that, with those awful neat outfits… *interrupting quickly* Oh, that’s not a problem! We’ve… Not a bit of it, in fact! Just what Charlie was saying! See, we brought along some… *excitedly* Yep, we did too! And we’ll be ready in no time. Won’t we, just! But… ah… ready for what? Oh, don’t… Just give us a sec! Right! Ready in a jiffy, cowboys! *exit city slickers* Hmm. Okay, well… that was… Don’t know about you two, but I think it’s about time to go cow tipping. *re-enter city slickers* Ta-da! Seriously? *in an undertone* I agree with you about the cow tipping. Well, what d’ya think? Pretty spiffy, eh? Gen-u-ine! Yeah! Yeah, really… Hats, anyone? Oh, we got those! Drrrumrrroll pleeeeze! Dun – Dun – DUN!! Splendid! Now – who’s ready for some cow-tippin’?!? *aside to Charlie* What’s cow-tipping? I dunno. But I’m game. We’re your men! Let’s go! Wait! – wait – it needs to get dark first. Cows don’t tip well until they’re asleep. *raising eyebrows* Oh! Is it that kind of tipping?! Goodness gracious. I’d never thought cows tipped their owners. Especially – asleep! What on earth are you two jabbering about? The cows don’t tip us, we tip them! Oh! My! Got much change on you, Charlie? *aside* Do all yuppies act like this? I think you’d better explain a bit, Jep. Um… right. Yeah. Cow tipping is – well, see, when it gets dark out, cows go to sleep. *animated nods from the city slickers* Standing up. But it’s hard to get a full night’s rest standing up. Ever tried it? Um… can’t say I have… Trust me, you don’t want to. Right. Not pleasant. So we put the cows out of their misery by going out there and tipping them over. So they can lay flat on the nice, soft grass. And get a good night’s rest, so they’ll give plenty of milk the next morning. *aside* Wow. I’d never heard it spun out quite that well. Thanks. So’re you two willin’ to lend a hand? Anytime, cowboys! I really wish he’d stop saying that. It’s settled then! Soon as it gets dark, we head out. *later, after dark* Alright. Here’s the plan. Bill, you take that brown one off to the right. Charlie, let’s see if you can’t tackle the white one near the tree. Ready? You bet! But what are you folks gonna do? Oh, Jep here is goin’ to tip us a stave, won’t you Jep? My pleasure! *whispers* Okay Charlie, now’s our chance to shine! Let’s go it! On the count of three… *groans* They must not have been sleeping soundly…The End Hope you enjoyed it! C&C welcome; I had some fun with these builds, especially the second one. Thanks for reading! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koalayummies Posted October 21, 2016 Great photography and lighting and using the character's pictures as opposed to names. Very fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norseman Posted October 21, 2016 Great photos! I love the Wild West sets. I really wish there was a community like 'GoH' for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Greeble Posted October 21, 2016 I love how the path comes out from the base in the second build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWolf Posted October 22, 2016 First off, WESTERN!! The story was amazing! The builds are also really good. The building interior has great color and decor. I particularly am found of the chairs. Nice usage of the window lattice. The exterior scene has the amazing path going through it. I'm trying to figure out how you got that cowboy to balance on the broken fence. Look forward to more Western from you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been done in the Andromeda's Gates forum quite a bit, so I just carried it over! On 10/21/2016 at 3:49 PM, Norseman said: Great photos! I love the Wild West sets.

On the one hand, that would be nice cause I'd love to see more builds of this era, but on the other hand, I'm already part of rather more RPGs than I can handle!

Unfortunately, I can't claim credit yet for having figured out how to defy gravity... he's actually attached by a headlight brick. On 10/22/2016 at 8:50 AM, Mpyromaxos said: Great creation!
