MDF Wild West Buildings

Thanks for the post. Those structures look interesting. I could imagine those buildings surviving decades later hosting different businesses.

Thanks for sharing this with us Bob. Great looking and even greater workmanship.

What is the height of the doorway? Nowhere is it listed on that South American river. TIA

The door is 1-25/32" tall, just over 1-3/4".

The company that makes the buildings is Atomic Laser Cut Designs, I think Knuckleduster may have some too.

Thanks Biglou, but all I did was slap them together and paint the trim and lettering.  Other than spot gluing the rear wall they should come apart easily if I desire.

For some unknown reason I've gotten interested in miniature wargaming lately.  Got a couple of squads of ww2 US and German figures painted then I saw the wild west figures and had to get some.  I have less than 20 and don't plan to get many more but then I started looking at all the rules there are available for the wild west and now I can't seem to get enough of it.  I downloaded a set of rules called Ruthless (free) and watched a video or 2.  Like I need another hobby to spend $$$ on.

You know...I don't know why we couldn't combine our trains and a set of rules to make a "game" out of it.  Maybe a Wild, Wild, West theme with scenarios based on each episode of the TV show, or Gunsmoke!!!

I too don't need another hobby. At least that's what my wife says. However, I really think these little building are cool. Have fun.

I named the saloon after a "saloon" that was over in Norfolk, The Thirsty Camel", that burned down last year:

Love the Saloon.

I've seen these and like them a lot but at this point in time I still have about a five years supply of Plasticville, Marx. and a half dozen other brands to finish and every day I get further behind.

Look under war gaming and you'll find hundreds of buildings, some of which would work pretty well for our layouts.  There's a local guy who makes and lot of custom laser-cut stuff, including buildings, signs, and detail pieces.

Did you call for me ?

LOL!  I've been watching "Tales of Wells Fargo" starring Dale Robertson for the past several months and those episodes would be great for turning into a miniatures game.

Thanks for posting this. My layout has an old west theme. I ordered the saloon and it arrived today. Looking forward to building it.
