Nice work on the bank.

On the Love Shack, again, nice work, but if that is going to inhabit denizens of the 'pig farm' it is much too clean and tidy.  It needs a real heavy dose of weathering and tarting 'down' with debris.

For a good view of a pig farm, I recommend the movie the Sister Brothers, a gritty western with a much more 'real' feel than a lot of western movies.

What better day to post these as Storm Eunice huffs and puffs and tries to blow my house down.

Yes, more buildings made of sticks. 

No little pigs - yet
.
Two more utility buidings for Purgatory. Though the log cabin is destined for the gold mine run by "old man Withers"









As always more photos on my FB page https://www.facebook.com/tinnedfruit/

Thanks for looking.

Just an FYI, my references to pig farms relate to two legged gals in a declining state of, um, attractiveness to their 'clientele'.   ::)

Nearly finished so a couple of group shots of the completed buildings with addition of the Sheriff's Office and Hardware store - but somehow forgot the Church!









Just the Saloon to finish if the mdf stairs ever turn up then it's on the the Mexican quarter...

More photos on my FB - https://www.facebook.com/tinnedfruit/

If anybody would like anything similar built just drop me a PM.

Thanks for looking.

And the church will make building number 13.  13?  Uh-oh.  Well, add an equal number of 'necessaries' and you'll have 26 buildings in the end.  Or does Purgatory rely on the open gutter system of 'drainage'?  Might add, well, a not quite brimstone/sulphuric olfactory element but it would certainly add to the 'elements'.  ::)

Of course, if Purgatory is adding an Hispanic influenced district you'll be heading north of that number.  Will it be the south side of town?  If you paint up a lady and name her Doris then you'll need a Leroy Brown and a jealous man, too.    ;)
