Water Tower from Sarissa

I bought this rather excellent water tower from Sarissa a while ago. It’s from their 28mm Old West range and is, off course, for my Dead Man’s Hand wild-west games.
I had a bit of an accident when I assembled it, as the fit of all the parts to the base-plate was rather tight. I tried to force it and the legs holding the tank broke. Much swearing was heard…
Anyway, I tried to fix it and I believe the water tower actually looks better now than before. It’s a bit more personal J

I also added a cover to the water-tank.
Now it is time to start playing DMH. The first games will be at home, and then on to the club, as several members has showed interest in dusting off their cowboys.

  3. Great job and I think you are right, it looks all the better for having a bit of customisation.

    1. One thing is for sure, it looks much better now than it did broken in pieces :-)

    1. Thanks! It really did! Very happy with it and all the imaginary bullet holes it will get in future games :-)

    2. No children, no vultures or other wildlife. I would certainly get a cover

  6. I love Sarissa kits but the quality control is sometimes lacking. Occasionally a board that is bigger in width than their standard size works its way into the laser cutter which means I now dry fit everything before I assemble anything from Sarissa. This was particularly bad on the railroad station that I built and all of the small North American buildings that I picked up from them. I still recommend them though, just with a little caution!

    1. The problem was that the holes were just a bit too small for everything to fit in. No problem really when I (after the 'accident') widened them with a knife.
      But I should have dry-fitted everything. You live and learn.
      A great little kit anyway.

  7. Excellent bit of scenery. A good vantage point for sniping and if I remember correctly, DMH has some pretty unforgiving rules for falling...

  9. Just call it a conversion (and an improvement it is!).

    Ah yes, cowboys... Maybe it's time I paint mine :D
