This is a scene from parts of my town that I spent a summer building.More will follow later.Tell me what you think. Thank you. :beer:

This first scene is a jailbreak.The outlaw Posse is attempting to break their fellow member out of jail and the sheriff and his deputies are trying to stop them.















This last pic.is a inside look at the jail.



Can you smell the gunsmoke?

Hello Axebreaker,
I like the buildings  :thumbsup:  I\'ll copy the watertower if I ever get to do some Old West scenery. What material did you use to make the  walls of the marshall\'s office?

[Bommel]

sehr schön!

[Axebreaker]

Hello Christof,

Thank you! I used foamboard that you can cut into(no plastic siding)and made some brick patterns here and there.Then I applied common wood glue to the areas that had no brick work and coated it with sand.I then used balsa wood for all the woodwork.When everything was dry I painted the jail.

[Christof]

It looks very nice, as do the rocks at the side. It is a fine inspiration for some spanish medieval huts. Did you use plasticcard as bases?

[Angrist]

beautiful buildings

how did you do these lines in the stone on the left,
a lot  of carving with a knifem or did you use a hot wire or sth like that

[Doc Phobos]

Yeahaw! Get three coffins ready...

Beautiful buildings and miniatures. I find the sand a tad too much, but I wouldn\'t know what to suggest as an alternative. But that is a minor flaw (if that at all). Amazing stuff. Loving the water tower. Care to let us know how you built it?

@Christof

Thank you. I used a single layered cardboard and tape along the edges.Then I applied wood glue and sand.When it was dry I painted it.A word of caution cardboard can fold up when drying.Add tape to the back to keep straight.You can spend a little and use plasticard if you wish and then you need not worry about it folding up.

@Angrist

Thank you. The stones are shop made(I got them free),but I did texture them a little more.You can just make them using polystyrene,knife,hot wire,fine sand,wood glue and paint.

@Phobos

Thank you. For the Water Tower I took a cappuccino coffee(Jacobs) container and sawed it in half.I removed the metal ring lining the top.I then took thin balsa wood and wrapped it around the container using wood glue.You might have to use pressure with your hands until it is dry enough for you to release it.When completely dry, use a pencil to score in the boards.Next cut some strips of card(I used a cereal box)and wrap that around the container.All the rest is Balsa wood to include the platform,ladder,struts and sign.Then paint.Now your town has a Water Tower.I hope this helps. :beer:

[Doc Phobos]

Nice one! Thanks.

[Axebreaker]

My pleasure. One more thing,the top is done the same way as the sides,but I added a trapdoor on it.(not shown in the pics).

Hello Axebreaker,

the builings are pretty cool :thumbsup: Thumbs up!
I work also at a western city but I must confess that only one building is self-made :whistling:
The watertower ist beatiful und I think I have to copy it!!!
Are the furniture also self-made?

[Axebreaker]

@Vonrath

Thank you. :beer: All the furniture inside the jail is self made and the crates on the outside,but the chair, spittoon,and barrel on the outside are from foundry.

[Axebreaker]

This is my next installment.

A walk in the town(Saloon stop )















Inside \"The Rose\" Saloon:



Stop on in and quench that thirst partner!

[vonrath]

Whow, the Saloon is absolutly beatiful.
How do you create the roof with the fantastic \"old and dirty\" look? :hail:
Is that cardboard or what kind of material do you use?
