Still Stalling


Yes, I am presenting another couple of stalls and yes it is a poor pun.
To be fair, the second one isn't completely finished and still needs a canopy (awning ? cover ?), but it does fill this post out and allows me to show it again in another post with awning !
Other than the "Eureka" 28mm figures both the models and their contents were scratch-built from the inevitable bits and pieces I have available and hoarded over the years.
I think it's pretty obvious what both stalls are selling and I've included pics of both before and after canopying  (that's a word  right ?) to enable viewing of their contents.
First up the pottery stall before having its canopy  fitted :

Front view
Side view
Rear view
Other side view
Side view with canopy
Three-quarter view with canopy
Side view (Bored yet ? - Ed.)
Other side view (How about now ? - Ed,)
  The other completely scratch-built (sans canopy):
 The stall is for cloth, sadly I haven't thought out how to get a figure behind the counter before I add the canopy !
Front view (bit obvious)
Thee-quarter view
Side view - obligatory blurry pic. (Only slightly blurry - Ed.)
Obvious rear view
Rear three-quarter view (Padding - Ed.)

Another three-quarter view (Blatant padding - Ed,)
Aerial view showing the mess it really is and the need  for a canopy 

 I did manage an hour a day (at least) to finish these and TBH I'm really sick of these and will be pleased when I've finished these.

In good news my Afghans arrived this week and they do look good but I can't say I'm looking forward to the hell that will be assembling them, let alone having to paint the damn things - but needs must I guess.

 So that's it then for another week, thanks for taking the time to visit, hopefully there is something here of interest and as always your comments, criticisms, bouquets and brickbats are always welcomed and appreciated.

Stay safe everyone.

  1. Great work on the stalls Joe, fantastic use of the ribbon on the fabric stall, adds total realism, and the pots on the other look great too

  7. A picture full post, at least you have achieved forward motion and that always good. The stalls look great and will come in a useful window dressing in your games.👍

    1. Thanks Vagabond, other than 'window dressing', there's not really much use for them - maybe cover ?

  8. I really like these Joe & while I'm sure there's a lot of work in them they really do look the part.

    1. Thanks Frank, to be fair, the homemade ones were a pain, but I had allthe materials at hand and a lot of the pots painted! The bought ones are very compact and easier to paint, despite the pre-fixed wares.
