The first building is one of the great kits from Dead’s Man Hand, that I decided to make into a hardware store.
I was inspired by a photo of the town of Corinne, Utah from 1869, that featured a hardware store with a sign into the street with what seemed to be a bucket on top.
I love inspiration from old photos of the real world, so I decided to copy that. They usually contain a wealth of details different from movie sets, games and more.
To make the sign stable, I added a base of 3mm plywood. I also changed the roof a bit and added a chimney so the store would be comfortable in the cold winter days on the prairie!
If you like to see more details, I made a video about the construction and painting on my YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/vCgi3_1eu08
