Great work Potosky72! I think the "Depot" was really nice!

Which "rock" did you use to make the mine out of?

I'm sure the western theme will one day return. It's one of these classic themes that comes and goes.

Very nice western town, by the way!!!

I hope you are right.

Looking at your 'engine shed' (that's what they are called here, instead of a depot (a "depot" here would be a small train station)

Are you able to set all the buildings up together for a large diorama (and include a train track)?
thanks for your info, engine shed is right for me.
and for other side, the buildings are for a exhibition, here in Spain, Valencia.
It´s a project, but we´re working in.

I am curious as to whether you know if any of the movie sets of western forts and towns that were built in Spain for making what we call here "spaghetti" westerns are still there? 

Any idea what happened with all the props / costumes?

I know most movie companies either tear down their sets or they are on movie lots so they just stay there but they would make great tourist/historical points of interest.

Your western buildings are excellent, Potosky!  We see so many incredible custom designs made with the gray castle pieces so it is a real treat to see that type of imagination and creativity put to work with western buildings!   :love:

Very nice! Where did you get the black roof on the church tower from, or is it painted?
