Old West gaming board

Here comes a pic of the gaming board i'd used this last week-end for a Lotow demo game, that took place during the GNF 9 french convention.

Just click on the pic to see more photos on my blog, need to upload more in the coming week and to find some of the multiplayers game that also took place here...

Aside form using Whitewash City PDFs as templates for cutting balsa or foamcore, what is a good way to get measurements for authentic looking western buildings?

Wonderful looking table. I love all the extra details like the balconies, fire escapes etc.

Great looking buildings. Well done.

Very nice table, superb buildings and lots of great detail - must be fun to game there!

My buildings tend to be big for playability reasons, but I like 2.5 high per story and about 5-8 inches wide, depending on the building.  Stores would be smaller, while hotels, stables, would be wider.  That's how I roll anyway.

About the good way to get measurement for buildings, for the first one i'd made i simply used one of my based mini to find the right size for doors and windows (i mean one size that seems looking goods to me), so in fact i guess it is just a matter of taste...

We work from photos (Timelife books are a good source) but tend to go by look - if it looks right then it's fine - and start from a basic principle of making all buildings on either A4 or A5 sized bases at present. Why ? Fairly straightforward - we store the finished buildings in boxes that A4 photocopy paper was delivered in. Not elegant, but it works for us.

I have measurements on some ghost town buildings and wild west era places either measured locally or taken from Sanborn maps. What are you looking for?
