Banta Silver Plume becomes a Pool Hall

I took the HO scale Banta Silver Plume Bakery and made it into a pool hall. The fun was the process of finding the dog picture, pool ball rack, pool cue rack, chalk board, wainscotting on the internet... resizing the pictures and make a styrene backing to get a three D effect. I modified some Woodland Scenics and Prieser figures to be players and used a resized doll house wallpaper provided by a railway buddy for the walls. At this pont in the build their still remains quite a bit of work to do.











The outer walls are done with waterbased wood stain. Then Bragdon powders are brushed on and then you wet it with mineral spirits. Finally is used micromark weather it as a wash. Also I distressed the wood with a wire brush. The trim is peel and stick plywood.
