The start of LeFreys Tavern

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

Just some shots of the tavern I am building.  

I have to wait till after the convention so I can get more of the wood flooring panels, But I should be adding in more photos soon

[Prof.Witchheimer]

great work, Steve! Who is the manufacturer of the shelves?  RLBPS ?

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

All the interior items are from frontline.  they are a mix of their musketeers and wild west range, thisincludes the items not in the tavern itself

I have a ton of the items, from both ranges.  there are even a good amount of things that can be used in my asylum and other places around Arkham.  

I will probab;y pick up even more at the next convention as well.  I jsut like to fill rooms and such with hte items.  I feel it makes it look better.

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

I should put that RLBPS only retails them in the states and not manufacturers them.  I know from ordering them in the past, that they usually have a good stock on them.


which reminds me I should make a photo gallery of each of the sets one of these days.  

but on the RLBPS iste, they fdo have he wilkd west range done:

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

thanks for the compliment.  Hoepfulyl if all goes well this evening, I should have a good amount of the barn and stable done.  if that is the case I will add more photos

[PeteMurray]

Is that LeFrey and his wife behind the counter?

It looks really splendid, and when it's all done you'll have a hell of a game board.

"Le Hachage Bloc--where we serve beer without the head."

Ok, now i need that translated into French! I will make a sign above the tavern for that one.

good one Pete

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

Pete,
 I forgot to add, that is indeed LeFrey and his wife behind the counter.  

LefFrey is a reaper figure from one of the townfolk packs and his wife is a redoubt figure

[PeteMurray]

Mdme. LeFrey is pretty hefty looking. Might want to give her a couple of points of High Strength, too.

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

Dont make a comment like that around LeFrey....  he might not find it funny

Please excuse the painting....  I am bulk painting figures for a playtest this weekend... I need to go back and finish everyone up later. But here are the figures I am using for the main characters

[WitchfinderGeneral]

The most difficult (but also the funniest) part will be to make out of that empty room a real tavern. I'm talking about pictures or lamps on the walls... a flew... and the stuffed head of a shark... I can think of so much stuff you can hardly buy somewhere...
Damn, I want my own tavern!

Have you thought about fixating some of the furniture or will it all be left movable?

[Prof. Dietrich Hes]

witchhunter,
  Yes, I do plan on adding in the bits to to tavern.  pictures are very easy, its the lanterns and such that might be harder.  I am pretty sure that I saw somehitngl ike that once but I cant rememebr right now

certain items will be fixed, but the items that would typically be thrown or moved during play will not.  so the bar will be glued down, but the barrels on top will not be.  that way characters can throw them around at will

[Etranger]

For lanterns and the like it might be worth looking at some of the European HO (1/87) model railroad accessory ranges (Brawa springs to mind but there are others) who do street lights, wall mounted lights etc in an antique style which might be suitable. Alternatively some of the "Dolls House" accessories might also be suitable.
