WOW! Is all about i can say. Some damn nice scratchbuilding there my friend. I am quite jealous.
With that said, when the S.E.D. shows up just follow the directions and use the SASE to ship it back. :-)

I also want to know if the signs are hand-painted or if you used some other method

Yes, they are hand painted.Some were cut from cardboard before painting (Undertaker).

The female model that's in some of the shots, the one carrying a ball or something up in the air in one hand: what model is it? In other words, where did you get it? I ask, because I saw that very model just a week or so ago, and mentally ear-marked it as one to get for my Old West collection for use as a Soiled Dove. However, I had just had surgery, and was on some heavy-duty pain meds, so of course I really can't remember where I saw the mini. So any help on this would be appreciated.

Sorry, I am not sure which one you mean. All my western figures carry weapons if something at all, so no ball. Can you name the photo and the location of the miniature? I can take a close up for you then.

The swirly skirted filly in front of the 2 engines/locos? I wondered the same, source? In fact, all of your Western Women are different to others I have seen.

Correct, that´s the Freebooter Miniatures one holding a flask. I thought you were talking about the finished miniatures. The sculptor is Werner Klocke, who works for Reaper and some others as well.

That´s how the windows were made. First inset the frames, then put the glass (transparent plastic sheet/blister package with cardboard framing) in there and finally attach another frame from the inside:

Are you cutting out the squares in the window framing by hand?
