Superb attention to detail, and I really like the use of colours.

Post by: Gluteus Maximus on 25 February 2009, 05:49:19 PM: It seems like every new Western town that gets posted here is better than the last one :o

The Rattlesnake Saloon is my favourite. The figures are of a very standard good too!

I assume the steps have been constructed in such a way as to allow the figures' bases to slot into them whilst climbing?

Please post plenty more luvverly pics ;D

Post by: jet on 25 February 2009, 10:55:11 PM: Yes, please post more. I've realized that I need to build four or five more buildings to "complete" my town. These are wonderful inspiration. I was thinking about a Chinese Laundry or Bathhouse, maybe a newspaper office (the Assumption Gazette). Keep it up... keep it up... keep it up!
