Dude City
Stable and Corral
On the firsts week of October, I decided to add a long need stable and corral to Dude City.
For the stable, I chose a Sarissa Precision kit that I had on my shelves from last Christmas, along with a corral kit I picked up at the same time.
The model was easy to assemble, although quite involved and was soon ready to paint. Note that the stable comes in three main pieces that can be removed to be used for 'indoor' gaming. Of these, only the top level is a little tight to handle.

The ground floor is mainly occupied by stalls. I painted it using the same paints and techniques presented in the previous entry, with the addition of Vallejo sand texture on the ground, washed with home made (read 'cheap') brown wash once it dried.
The second floor contains part of the roof and the loft
The upper part provides loft windows and the rooftop.
I bought some straw and added it to the stalls and the loft. The scale if not quite there but certainly good enough for tabletop terrain.
The sign was captured on the Internet, scaled to size for the model and printed on paper.
Combined with the corral (and its badly hand painted sign courtesy of me), the stable provides fresh new gaming opportunities to play around Dude City.
