Beautiful piece.  Sarissa and Black Scorpion - a man after my own heart.  The only thing which doesn't gel with me is the painting on the main signage.  It just doesn't work with the rest of the quality paintjobs, etc.  (in my opinion).  Overall nice work!  Does the Sarissa piece have any interior detailing --- how many windows/doors on the backside?  I've put off buying one for a while, because I can't see much in the photos on their site.

Like your figures, fine painting.
The Sarissa building is nice, been thinking about picking a few up.

Elbow. thanks, no prob , critique always welcome -  may revisit the main sign in time. I just don't want it too fancy , i wanted a handpainted look, nothing too sculpted and finely accurate

The buidling has 4 windows upper floor to the rear and 1 on the lower along with a door. Sides are 4 upper and two lower.

In terms of detail , there is nothing internal , apart from both floors are laser cut to represent floor boards. also the doors are are not cut so they they can be modelled as open, although it would fairly easy to take a knife to them i think. Ther eis definite potential but you would need to put some work in.

The disappointing bit for me was the flat roof, which was just a bit of plain MDF. I have drawn and painted on some fixtures which improved the look.

Some signs were prtty well done back then, though for this type of saloon I'd agree, if you reckon you could do it well you should try some paint dripps and runs from the tips of the letters for a real sign painted in haste to be the punters in (btw I couldn't do that...)

Yeah, I can't put my finger on it, but I know the look you're going for, but right now it looks like a person our size painting a miniature painted it poorly (on purpose) as opposed to a person in 28mm scale painted it poorly.  :D  Still your building painting puts mine to shame (if I'm honest I'm too lazy to paint mine!)

Either way, brilliant work overall, and I like that you put windows in.
