Livery Stable Part 7
Primed and assembled a corral for use with either the livery or a ranch. 
Started work on the next posse, this time the Banditos from Great Escape Games. Livery Stable Part 6
Did a quick bit of masking then painted up the front doors and signs. 
Needs a few touch ups but turned out pretty well. 
Painted up the sides and rear as unpainted wood. 
Next up are the Banditos, shown here for scale. Livery Stable Part 5
Painted the roof tiles using burnt umber acrylics. Now it’s decision time on what colors to use on the rest of the stable. Livery Stable Part 4
I painted up the stable floor using a mix of burnt umber, yellow and white. 
Front facing is obviously red. Unsure if I’m going to paint everything red or just this front. Livery Stable Part 3
I started painting the interior using artist acrylic burnt umber. It was easier to paint this as sub assemblies so here’s the floor and one side. 
Hayloft interior finished with both sides attached. 
Both floors in place with skylight removed. I’ve also painted the back side of the false fronts. 
In retrospect it was probably a bad idea to glue the stalls in place. I probably should’ve painted them first then installed them afterwards as it’s going to be tricky maneuvering around them to paint everything. Livery Stable Part 2
I finished the hayloft and added window and door details.
Front door, hayloft door and business sign. 
Side view with hayloft and skylight in place.

The skylight is removable and allows access to the hayloft to make it a playable space. So the next big question is what color to paint it? Most of the businesses only have the front painted up. But the livery is one of the largest buildings so it needs to stand out.
Barns are traditionally red because in this era, it’s the cheapest color to manufacture. So, maybe?
Livery Stable Part 1
Our town got bigger and is now sporting an actual livery and associated corral. A fairly big structure with two stories, multiple doors and lots of story potential and hiding places.
Basic structure of the first floor. Second floor will be the hayloft. The big open doors aren’t actually supposed to be open. They accidentally got punched out during assembly so now I need to figure out what to do. Glue them back in, open or closed? And what about the doors on the other end?
Bring out y’ur dead!
Sensing a business opportunity Mr. Wiley & Sons have set up shop in our town. I suspect business will be good.
