The Swamp Bandits Hideout

64 comments
Buried deep within the swamp lie this motley crew, ready to defend their booty at any costs!
Inspired by the old Wild West theme and Wild West movies in general I wanted to make a hideout for the bandits against law enforcement as they never really got much representation back in the day. And where better to have their layaway then deep within the marshy swamps where the local sheriff and company will struggle to locate them, and even if they do, the tricky terrain will present another obstacle altogether.
I wanted to make this shack appear quite rundown as it would have been abandoned for many years previously. In a past lifetime it may have offered as a jail cell or an armoury judging by the steel bars that adorn much of the building.
Just because the hideout appears to have seen better days, doesn’t mean this model is fragile, far from it. It’s a solid little piece, ready to withstand any amount of playtime.
I finished it off with plenty foliage and textures, allowing a nice constrast and vibrancy which I think adds to the whole aesthetic in a very positive way.
I enjoy making smaller scale models as I think there is a market for more affordable sets like this that can please children and adults alike without costing a fortune.
