Building the Old West
Saloon Pt 1
The saloon has a larger foot print, is two stories and has more details than all the other buildings combined. It’s going to be the center piece building for our town. I want it to look a little more upscale so I complicated my life by going for a more complicated paint scheme.
The floors and balcony were painted in the more or less standard scheme of burnt umber 
Exterior walls are painted red and the window panes will be white 
Interior walls are painted green with the cloak room painted a mustard yellow color. I mixed Burnt umber, white and yellow until I got the color I wanted. 
Just to make life easier, I gave these a coat of white from a rattle can. Once punched out I’ll still have to paint the edges 
Once everything dried, I started gluing everything into place. Note the upper and lower lintels in white need their edges painted. I glued the upper lintel in place to help align the walls while the glue was drying. It’s fairly accessible so I’ll paint the edge after the glue dries. The lower lintel is just dry fitted to help with alignment. Once the glue dries I’ll pull it out, paint the edge and then glue it back in place.
