Picked up a good deal on a Soviet Winter Infantry plastic box from Warlord games and performed some plastic surgery on the figures and scratch built 2 x DSHK 12.7mm HMGs and 2 x Maxium M1910 MMGs. I also scratch built a 50mm Mortar and converted a prone riflemen into a sniper with winter camo.

Taking advantage of a sale I purchased some Dead Man's Hand 28mm metal horses. I decided to strip 2 of the horse saddle by removing them with a sharp knife and with the help of some Green stuff modelled new straps suitable for hauling the scratch built wagon. I made the wagon a while back you can view it here: Scatter terrain carts and wagons , I also added the wooded post that connects the wagon to the horses.
There are also 4 other unmounted horses for future modelling of some riders for What a Cowboy game..

Finally finished painted my 28mm Wild West buildings which includes a Barber, Saloon, Undertaker, Post office, Dentist, Church, Bank, Sheriff, Gunsmith, General Store and a coal mine. I was aiming to have the building look bright but weathered by the harsh wasteland climate.
