Ok, so i's a bit of a cheeky title, but just two more stalls to show and the finished butcher's stall.The stall on the right is from "Frontline" (iirc), which I've painted up in various metallic colours for variety - the figure shown is from Eureka for scale.
I have three other similar stalls from "Frontline" only one of which I'm currently building a canopy for and I'm undecided on the others.
The two tier arrangement is a nice feature imho and is seen a lot in the current Cairo markets, sometimes seen stacked up to five or more times.
This is 'finished' but I'll be adding a few more things as I've done to the Butchers (shown last week) to make it a more interesting scenic item.

| Really boring rear view |
 |
| Only slightly more interesting side view |
 |
| Other side view (Padding - Ed.) |
 |
| Updated Butchers stall - in its final state |
 |
| Side view with the freshest meat possible on the right ! |

| Other side view (More Padding - Ed) |

| Obligatory group shot |
So in a week where I didn't stick anywhere near to my regime of an hour a day hobby time, (insert usual excuses) I still feel I managed something worth posting about.
That's it then for yet another week, thanks for taking the time to visit, I hope you've found something of interest and as always your comments are both welcomed and appreciated.
The stalls look excellent Joe, and the faded colours add to the well used look of them and great details on each
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, I'm pleased that ou nd most others will like the faded colours and yes, the detail on these is first class.
DeleteThese stalls look fantastic Joe!
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT, the biggest problem I think I'll have with them is going to be storage.
DeleteCrikey! Is that a massive pineapple hand-grenade you're trying to sell off amongst the assorted pots, dishes, jugs and jars in the first photo?!
ReplyDeleteJoking aside, I have to say that all the stalls look good. The canopied stalls, with their hanging items or double-tiered display, look the business. The goat is a nice touch too. Agree with you, and Dave, that the faded colours complete the look and make the scene 'believable'. - That is another tip I've gleaned from your blog. Castle walls aren't grey. Rivers and streams should be brown and not blue. Canvas roofs over market stalls should be worn and faded, not factory fresh.
Are these all resin or 3d printed plastic? And if so, did they require washing before paint application, or did they take paint with no problems?
Can't say I've had issue with resin or plastic terrain items with paint in the past. But I have had issue with plastic-y resin miniatures not taking paint - even after washing.
Thanks Roy, it is indeed a novelty pineapple ice cube holder (o rmybe the holy hand grenade of Anitoch - unprimed.
DeleteThe models are either plastic or Resin, I can't remember which but they feel very plasticky. Check Irongate's web page they keep changing from one to the other.
Resin or plastic, I just spray without any prep. If it doesn't cover or hold, I spray agai !.
I've only has the old Wargame factory plastic zombies until not when I have the 'modern' plastic s arriving.
I jealous of your wonderful stalls Joe as there something I very much want, but I have to stay focused on the current project, but when I get around to doing some I'll be back over for another look :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Frank, it is just a case of the "grass is greener" as there are many many wonderful games, figures, scenery and so on that I would like too !
DeleteReally nice market stalls and I totally agree that faded is best!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, I do like adding these scenic bits and pieces, the first really in many years of gaming.
DeleteGreat work once again!
ReplyDeleteThanks you Michal, your comments are always greatly appreciated.
DeleteGreat stuff Joe! Really like the look of the two tier stall 😀
ReplyDelete*though admittedly, when I read your post title I wasn't sure if I wanted to click on it - working in the barn here at the farm 50-60 hours a week, the last thing I wanted to see was more stalls lol*
Haha, thanks Ivor, your comment really did cheer me up, we on this side of the pond, also consider toilet cubicles as stalls !
DeleteI did do a google image of modern day Cairo markets' spice stalls and I don't think it's changed much in the last hundred years or so.
So good Joe, lovely work. The butcher's stall selling the freshest meat in town is genius!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, though I doubt I'm the only one to have considered this, after all it still happens today, though maybe to a lesser extent with choosing your own lobster, fish etc.
DeleteLove 'em Joe! Where'd you get the stall holder from?
ReplyDeleteThank Ray, the stall holder came from Eureka (in the UK), you can see the others I painted here:

Ta!

DeleteCharming, nice models and excellent paintjob. Love it.Very inspirational. I also can see that we use the same grass-carpet :) Please, keep posting Joe
ReplyDeleteThanks Ptr, I've found that the stalls at least are less bother to paint than minis.
DeleteMy carpets came from "Lidl" (iirc), approximately 1m x 2m. I've cut one in two form Jumland and still have the other rolled up.
