Boomtown getting dusty: some works formerly in progress
« on: February 27, 2008, 02:37:37 AM »
My boomtown was booming before I had to move, now it is a project on hold for the time being.  Still, I got some images of construction underway.  I also have (in various stages of completion) a jail, church, hotel and 2 stores.





Here's a small Bank I made as part of an upcoming cowtown.  The building is made from a pressed cardboard box from a hobby store covered in self-adhesive cork.





The Livery is still in progress.  It too is pressed cardboard, but with balsa interior and exterior.



Finally I have the frame of a Barber shop, open for business even while the construction progesses.  I have a bit more detail stuff to add to this, but it's mostly finished.

Thanks, it's a thickish wash allowing some of the cardboard to show through.

I got the idea from watching Deadwood and looking at a lot of photos of western towns.  I'll plan on making some tents as well to represent new arrivals and shops that sprout up in a boomtown.  I'll try to get some more photos up soon, particularly of the interiors that I am working on.
