I wanna be ...

a Cowboy
You scored 4 Honor, 4 Justice, 12 Adventure, and 4 Individuality!
Well pardner, the thing that drives you is a sense of adventure. You're willing to play by the rules, but only so long as you've got open territory to cover and new frontiers to explore. You don't need much and you don't ask much.

Strap on your six gun and wear your Stetson proud. I think you'll do just fine

What did you say the Judge's name was?




 Outbuilding from the Ertl Cowtown set, I figured the building that they had as the Sheriff's office would work better as a bank or general store, the tree is from a game called Weapons and Warriors, I picked it up for the Castle, but the trees can be used anywhere, even if they are a bit flat.

Another gunfight


 

The fella in the long brown coat is the Illuminated one from Iron Kingdoms (Privateer Press), I wanted to do some modding to him, but I ran out of time, the guy with two pistols is an old Grenadier Gunslinger figure on his second paint job.
