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.
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
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, yep, ribbon of fifferent widths, some trim here and there and some very thin fabrics too, plus the ribbon from around a cake !
DeleteAll pots home-made from beads and or Fimo.
Wonderful work Joe! These are the best yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT, as scratchbuilds all I can say is that at least no-one else will have these !
DeleteI just love the way the pottery stall is rammed with stock - amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, I was reminded of those sales from markets of a long yime ago where a very small stall was piled high with produce !
Deletefantastic work sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michal, it was a lot of effort, but well worth it imho.
DeleteSplendid pair of stalls and I rather like the chap being out front,selling his wares,never mind the quality, feel the width!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, the Eureka figures are a bit whimsical ino but they do set the scene well.
DeleteThey really do look the bizz!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray, they do if your business is pots and cloth.
DeleteA 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.👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Vagabond, other than 'window dressing', there's not really much use for them - maybe cover ?
DeleteI really like these Joe & while I'm sure there's a lot of work in them they really do look the part.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
DeleteGreat job on these shops!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, much appreciated
