sunshines_minis Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I am making a wall display for my husband grandfather for this comeing Christmas. I made him a cute little cowboy and a horse now he needs somewhere to display them. I want to make a shelf that looks like a saloon. any of you have plans I can barrow?

Jeffrey Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Walls: http://www.miniatures.com/hbs/global/Index....asp&P=9671 Windows: http://www.miniatures.com/hbs/global/Index...asp&P=50610 Door: http://www.miniatures.com/hbs/global/Index....asp&P=6029 Railing: http://www.miniatures.com/hbs/global/Index...PRODUCTSKU=7501 Shingles: http://www.miniatures.com/hbs/global/Index....asp&P=0038 All other parts shown could easily be done with a sheet of balsa wood and some strip wood. As for the actual wall and floor I would suggest 2 pieces of some sturdy wood you could also make the windows into picture frames or just put pictures of the inside of a saloon behind them. Everything should be painted with a gray wash for that weathered wood look. you could also put a water collection barrel on the corner of the porch roof and use a painted drinking straw as a downspout.

havanaholly Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Go rent "Silverado". Besides all that wonderful eye-candy there are some great saloon shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Elaine Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Jeffrey had the main ingredient for a Saloon. You must have the swinging door. That, and maybe a rail out front to tie the horse to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Jefery has what i pictured down to a tee. One more thing though, on one of the two windows at the top you could put, his name or grampa etc. On the other side, you could put saloon. just a thought.
