The Cantina won’t gave an accessible interior. I’m now basing on 25s (it started with the Peninsular War Project, so I blame Nick) rather than 20s, which to my mind requires a bigger internal footprint whereas I prefer a smaller external footprint on the tabletop. What I might do at some later stage is make a separate internal model for use alongside the main table, not for every building but for the key ones. Maybe.  :D
Ah I see :) perfectly understandable :)
But I bet you will end up making a separate internal model at some stage,I was fortunate enough to participate in one of Ramirez No Name's Ffol games at this year's Blam (thanks Harvey :)) and came away feeling that being able to move minis in a buildings interior enhanced the gaming experience positively.The rules are good fun and I'm sure you'll enjoy them regardless.And I say this despite my characters in the game at various times being back shot and one of them kicked to death, whilst down , by the gentlemany Captain Blood ! :)

Haha. It’s via Dr De’ath (from his experience at BLAM) that I found FFOL, so more credit to Ramirez! 8)

Yep, that sounds Like a Captain Blood thing to do. He once threw me out of a plane without a parachute ::) lol

Re: FfOL - UD 20/11 - 3 buildings WIP (p3)

 ;) :D

Anyways, have made some more progress with the buildings. The scenario requires 3: a cantina, a corral and a privy.

The cantina is based on the left hand building in the opening shots of A Fistful of Dollars - the front and rear walls have a slope though it’s not obvious in the photo

The fence line is very effective, as is the shelter. I could see the shelter working well for market stalls too.

Ta  :D

I imagine the scenario will play out much like in Young Guns, when IIRC Charlie Sheen is nearly caught in the privy. I’d post a clip from YouTube but I can’t find one.

Nice start! How did you make your oven?
Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

Thanks. The oven is just layers of 5mm foamboard, circles decreasing in size, then shaved into a dome: it’ll be tidied up and smoothed over with filler.

Looking forward to seeing it progress. ;D
