I've had it in my head for quite a while to make a few buildings for use with GW's Legends of the Old West game. Too many other things have conspired to distract me from this goal though.
Recently, a friend suggested a game concept that caught my attention - it's titled a Cast of Thousands and is highly unusual in that it's set in a movie studio's backlot in the 1930s. Instead of fighting a battle with warriors and siege engines, the players fight to assemble a cast, a script, a camera crew and a movie set. The first to shoot a pre-defined number of scenes wins the game.
As a part of this concept, the table will have a number of predefined movie 'sets' - including a Greek temple, a Chicago street scene, a Yellow Brick Road, and a western town. This gave me a good reason to build some western buildings. Note that the 'buildings' will just be the facades, no backs to them at all - just like in the movies. So here's my first building... it's unpainted and the 'back stage' detailing is not yet finished, but I'm pretty pleased with it so far.
