Continuing my work on my Western town; hot on the heels of the general store is the saloon.

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Paradise Saloon is now open for business!

Take a look at it here on my blog: link

As always comments are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

It looks good. Well done.

Very nicely done. I like that a lot.

You need a 20' mirror, hauled 750 miles from St Louis, to be smashed in the first brawl.

Not that I'd know anything about saloon brawls. I'm just the piano player. There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!
(Not much of an "old" town. It's barely 3 years old…)

Hey Murph. Can I come and play? I promise not to whine about driving more than 45 minutes.

That looks really cool. I like how the paint on the exterior only covers so far from the front of the building. Then stacked next to more buildings down mai street hides that cool little detail. Looking cool all told.

Fun Fact: The true issue with the old west was a result of the failure of town planners. Turns out the towns were never made big enough--"this here town ain't big enough for the both of us"

Simple sizing issue. All those deaths were on the civil planners.

Thanks for sharing--JH

Looking really good, Murph! Very impressive. Keep up the great work.

I was wondering if it would have the appropriate artwork for the place: :)

Are these complete scratch builds, or spruced up MDF models?
