Buildings in the Old West frequently only had the front of the building painted with the sides and rear often left as raw wood.  I’ll be replicating that here. As such I’ll glue the window frames into place on the majority of the windows before painting them.

Here are all the window frames punched out.  Here are all the window frames punched out.

The saloon is an MDF kit from Sarissa Precision and the first thing you do with an MDF kit is find the cheapest primer available.  This one came from Ace Hardware.

The smaller pieces were left in the MDF frames.  Bigger pieces were sometimes separated and everything got primed gray.  The smaller pieces were left in the MDF frames. Bigger pieces were sometimes separated and everything got primed gray.
