Now that looks much better, like the way you did the arches.
Done some more work on the Bazaar setting. Reading some of the comments I have change the layout of the board to make it busier. I am adding a lot of small stalls up either side of a narrow stepped street. But first I have added the second floor to the main Bazaar, along with the roof and a staircase up to a balcony.

Below are a couple of photos of the new setup

One more picture below. I am looking for ideas for the inside of the main bazaar. Iwas thinking of splitting it up into smaller shops. What do you think?




Cheers,

No its OK I still have some space left in my garrage. Sorry should call that my wargames room. In the eight years I have been in this house the car has never seen the inside of the garage. The previous owner, kindly, had left two off 8' x 2' floor boards which I soon made into a wargames table. So the garrage for the car was history.

I was thinking of maybe splitting it up in to four small shops. Maybe modular construction so that I could change the interior layout. The peddlers with their small stalls are going to go out on the street. See pic below for my idea. Each of the small modules would be a box with everything built inside.


Ideas for the modules so far are -
Book shop
Tailors
Barbers

Trying to think of other shops that would be useful in pulp games

Yes, that's a cool idea.
More shops? Well, one of those that sell odds and ends (like djinni lamps etc.)
Or a spice merchant. How about a trader of live animals? Cages full of chicken just witing to explode in a cloud of feathers...

Your work is getting better and better.

In the meantime I found the following link and I was impressed. I think it is helpful for some inspiration :

Awesome stuff. It definitely needs plenty of shop stalls.

The Malevolent Mummy stuff's pretty sweet too, but what's with all the mounties? 0.o

And lots of food vendors, selling things common to things you don't really want to know about!

Done some more work on my setting.
I am thinking about adding a name to the Bazaar. I am not sure if it is OK to use this?



Would anybody mind if I used the name?
Started adding some shops.

A kabab shop. A must in any town!

Plus interior

The entrance to the Bazaar.

and finally some street furniture WIP

Next is to finish the roofs and all the shop fronts and interiors and then fill them out with goods to sell.

This project looks awesome! Mind if I steal some of your ideas for my Conan bazaar scene? I hadn't thought of having lots of small booths like that.
