Fantastic! If you still haven't found your barkeep yet I have two for you to have a look at. The first is a fantasy bartender from the reaper Townsfolk sets. He is the stereotypical portly, surly, middle aged and balding. The other guy is the black scorpion barkeep from their tombstone old west range. More burly than than an outright porker he has an apron, a beard, and a mallet that you could keep or swap out (it might be good to have a mallet for bashing in things heads before you put them on the grill).

Shapeways has quite a few options in various scales:

Hm, there are some good ones here. Thanks, I will try this when I have some spare money.

I don't like the Reaper one, but you just reminded me that I have that Black Scorpion set. I think the guy with the hammer supposed to be a blacksmith, though he could work as a barkeeper. But there is a bartender in that set as well, and I like the look of him. I will see what can I do with him after the competition ends.

Love how this is coming along! I may have to (poorly) imitate those I-beam stairs, those look great.

Every new pic is even greater than the previous one

Love how this is coming along! I may have to (poorly) imitate those I-beam stairs, those look great.

It was not that difficult to make. I made a blueprint for it on paper, placed the I-beam on it, and marked the steps. Then used a small saw to cut the notches. Fortunately the steps fit into it perfectly. I glued the steps into one side, then put on the other side. That was the hardest part, as the notches do not lined up perfectly, and the plastic glue was drying fairly quickly. After this I put small strips of 1x1 mm plastic to inside under the steps for additional support.

Also I did a lot since last time.

Here is the top half of the Pringles tank undercoated.

I also did the salt weathering on both the top and bottom half. The result is... well not very good. I ran into all sort of problems. Hopefully the sponge technique will cover it...
I undercoated the bar as well, before adding the walls.

Then to distract myself a little, I did some gs work. A thin mattress and the remains of some unfortunate creature on the chopping table.

I did some decoration for the place...

...which turned into this:

The skull trophies and the prepared insect are remnants from the previous owner. The current one has a taste for some art, and a collector. He has a side business as a fence for artistic items and accepts it as payment if he likes it. The big mask and the little fella under it will be painted with metal colours. I'm still undecided if I will paint the bird as a sculpture or as a stuffed one.

The side walls added.

I do not thought out how I will attach these, so I had to do a lot of improvisations. This also meant that I had to add larger sections and it's not as patchworkie as I originally wanted it to be.

This is how the inside looks with just the walls:

And with most of the stuff:

I'm in a process to add the nuts and bolts which secure the panels to the outside.

I will cheat a little here and I will not do their counterpart in the inside. I ran out of nuts so I will make some more tonight and sculpt a blanket and a pillow for the bed as well. Then I will finish the roof before going to bed. At which point the build will be mostly done.
Tomorrow I will paint the base, finish detailing the walls, then start painting the bar. Hopefully I can finish it before the deadline.

Loving every detail of this

McMordain · « **Reply #69 on:** March 03, 2018, 09:54:14 PM »

So this will be the last post with pics, as I'm mostly done with the building part.

The blanket and pillow added.

Roof mostly done.

Bare metal parts undercoated, I just need to add the remaining 44 nuts to the white plastic strips. That will happen tomorrow, as I ran out again, and had to make new ones.

The sides got the securing bits added as well.

Painting is underway. See you at the finish line

Ace stuff!

Cracking build with lots of excellent detail.

Looking forward to seeing the finished item.

Andym · « **Reply #73 on:** March 04, 2018, 09:20:57 AM »

What a build!

So much amazing detail that makes the piece tell a story!

I can’t wait to see it painted now!
