Love you all :)

Wow! This is incredible, Eric. I love the Western genre and you definitely nailed it. Although, I would have liked to see more antennas and wires and maybe a bigfoot or two.

[Le_Petomane]

Eric as a benevolent sky deity looking to the camera at the end, creeped me out and made me smile all at once. Just take the town but please let the women and children go!

I really dig the way you mix 3d printed elements with your from-scratch stuff. Also, as a Western fan I really need to check this game out!

[leeseiberg]

I play Warhammer 40K, but now I have a need to make a Wild West town for my Space Marines XD

[JunkandCraft]

Love the vid dude. I learned a lot from watching you. I'm working on a Arabic themed 3d printed town with some scratch building right now!

[mikkel]

How come your videos are always so well timed in accordance with my interest sprees? I have just recently been diving into a bunch of western films, and when your ww1 inspired trench board video came out I had just been researching that very thing! It's getting eerie hahaha, but I really appriciate the history you fit into these projects. Great work!

[Christian_from_Copenhagen]

I envy the amount of storage you must have to pump out these amazing projects 😄 Well done, particularly with this theme that's not seen very often ✌

[geronimo]

This wide range of projects is part of why I love this channel ❤. At some point the need to watch just another painting tutorial isn't really there anymore, but your stuff manages to surprise me again and again 😊

I like how an old West town resembles a Necromunda settlement. Similarities: built from scratch, crowded, everyone carries what the own and a gun, same industries: trading posts, slop houses, bank, saloon, brothels, drug dens. Differences: no wall around the town, shanties buildings above the shops.

Great looking table! Cool to see Dead By Lead featured too, great game

[thetraitorguardsmen.]

This is really good. A stagecoach office and a us cavalry fort would be a great addition to the wild west board.

[thetbird]

I love your videos man every time you make a set piece like this it reminds me of when I was younger looking through model catalogues in awe at the scenes they'd make to show off their models.

[Riven.illhook]

Dead by Lead is awesome, and this is sweet looking terrain! Great video!

[kylemccormick]

Epic build! I really like the creative use of some printed parts on the buildings but keeping the buildings themselves very easy to make with basic parts!

[marshtiger]

Excellent to see you branching out even more. I love the content.

[SwiftRelish]

You are so inspiring!!! Keep doing what you do, Eric!

[tTheAnimator]

Wow thats amazing! Looking forward to see a western fort! :D

[bocktordaytona]

All your crafting videos make made my day Eric you are doing a nice job. Not just for the creativity crafting stuff but literally the channel itself its almost therapeutic for the viewer also!

Thanks man!

Now you need a miniature Delorean with Doc, Marty, and Claire. Maybe throw in Marshal Dillon, Festus, and Miss Kitty. Ben Cartwright, his sons, and Seth MacFarlane. Oh yeah, Clint Eastwood, too.

Boylei when he sees this: "There aint room in this town fer the both of us"

Jokes aside, this is great! Really lovd how you did everything!
