I keep seeing people building these amazing looking old west buildings.

Is their a tutorial anywhere?  Are you building a foamcore box and then laying individual balsa strips over it?  What is the secret?

Thanks,
Jay

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

The buildings are made from foamboard and balsa wood strips with other scraps of card.

My avatar is actually of a hussite priest (European middles ages) figure I sculpted for Kingmaker miniatures.



Cheers,
Ian.

Those buildings look great!
I started to build some of my own but before finished I sold them all.
I recently played "Wanted dead or alive" again and since I had loads of fun I am considering to start making a wild west town again. Now that I have seen your buildings I guess I simply have to start building them asap.

Thanks for sharing.
