.....

Did you make the market stall cover yourself, as I am missing mine :(

Hi Flatcat  :wave:  sorry this is the original market cover, it's a proper plastic washable cover unlike the red and white striped ones you get now. I have made my own covers before, I found a very nice textured green striped wallpaper which I took a sample of to make them from.

Great pictures and work !!! Looking at the steck building with the Sheriffs floor if I may express my opinion i think thre are some minor mimatches only as you stated very corrently Emma. Nearly 10 years ago when i was on  a western buying spree ( forts, western houses, train etc etc ) i tried combining floor with steck houses to come to that conclusion . Personally i prefer steck as it is , flooring i reckon is more appropriate for victorian houses etc and mediaval steck all it needs is some nice garment underneath like green etc . Aw well, personal view anyways !!! :lol:

On the other  hand of course the 4300 floor is 1000% perfect for steck houses !! i wisk i could buy enough pieces i needs for all my houses !!!! but they are not available are they ???  :'( :'( :'( :'(

Your bespoke , own design is the best  :wave:
:knight: Steck is Holy . Bring back more steck sets and its guardians , the Nuremberg Guards :knight:

Just a little add on to uses for the Sheriffs floor. I've now used the balcony/upper floor? "U" shaped piece with some castle walls to form a small room with battlements.

Amazing Emma! :wow:
That looks incredible, just with the small flooring addition.
What is the part number for the floor? ;D

What are the battlements made of?
It is steck, but the floor is different. ???

hi Warrior, the walls and battlements are old steck castle parts, the "U" shape is from the Saloon ans Sheriffs part no. 30 08 3950  30 08 3950 - building upper floor/roof]http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-08-3950]30 08 3950 - building upper floor/roof

Ideally I would have used the matching base as the floor but I havent got one at the moment so it's sitting on a thin piece of wood covered with stone print paper.
