The Great Beer Riot
A few photos of a four player game of the Great Beer Riot. Both bars have run out of beer and four gangs are trying to grab as many barrels of beer off the wagon as they can.
The casualties were horrific but worse, numerous beer barrels were shot and leaked out all their contents leadng to cries of “Alcohol abuse!”
Interior Decorating
Something like this I think. I’m currently debating whether to glue these in place. But the bar area has access to one of the store rooms and that storeroom has an exterior door so seems logical. Bars and Bottles
Knuckle Duster miniatures makes resin and metal bar furniture. The resin needed some sanding and the footrests needed some straightening but otherwise was pretty easy to assemble. Base coated Army Painter Fur Brown then bottles and brass painted using a variety of colors. Then everything given a wash of Army Painter Soft Tone. Signage
I found a suitable font, and printed it on a black background then cut to size and used PVA glue to affix to the billboard. Assembly Completed
Still need to decide on some signage but the building itself is complete. 
The area between the railings and the room doors is very narrow. Essentially too small to fit most bases in there. That’s unfortunate so I’ll have to come up with some work around. 
First floor bar area. I’ll be adding some more interior details down here. Assembly
I used Elmer’s white glue (a brand of PVA glue) for assembly. I used an X-acto knive and files to clear out the holes of excess paint and sanded the tabs and widen the slots were it was too tight.
First floor. I built the four walls first then then added the supports for the upper deck. 
Interior of the first floor. The PVA glue is still drying here. 
Here I’m starting to add the railings to the deck. I had to clamp them in place to keep them from falling over. I used the adjustable wrench as a weight to make sure the upper deck fit snugly onto the supports. Test Fit/Mockup
I did a bit of a test fit and mockup to find out where the issues are. I’ll need to do a bit of drilling and filing to clear off the accumulated paint.
Ground floor and board walk.
Interior of first floor. The back wall still needs to be painted. The stairs are in their approximate final position. 
Partially assembled upper floor showing the relation of the stairs to the upper floor. Windows, Billboards and Assistants
The brown above the masking tape is the reverse side of the billboard. The doors have also been masked for the next step. 
Window sills installed, door frames pending. I’ll need to paint the individual frames next.
