This is the beginnings of my saloon/actors dressing rooms building.

I am getting a little tired of making fences so I have started to do some serious research on old west facades and buildings and their construction techniques.
I will for the first two make the whole building as it will serve two purposes that of a facade and an actual dressing rooms for the actors.I first plan just to do the exteriors and use a sign to indicate what they are "Actors Dressing Rooms."
I will light them behind curtains and shades only but leave access to the interiors if I later want to add furnishings.I am already planning a second module, to be screwed to this one, containing the facades only.(next winter's project)Old west stuff seems to be pretty simple construction with  few exterior decorations but lots of doors and windows, which is actually a plus for storyboarding using signs and stuff in the windows and doors for example.

As was often done in the movies I have used an HO model for forced perspective.

I am planning a G scale RR and will be working on the first module this winter.Part of it will have an "Old West " theme starting with a Hollywood style movie set.Future modules will be  made as time and money allows.I am 72 now and a little late to be starting such a big project but ah what the hell so far I am healthy and I think that I still have most of my marbles.If I never complete the whole RR then each module will tell an interesting story by itself or could become part of some other person's RR someday.
