Tiny Furniture dining set from AQ Hobbies
Here’s another example of how you can benefit looking outside Old West miniature ranges when finding items for inside your Old West buildings.
This is a dining set made by Tiny-Furniture that sells for $7.80 from AQ Hobbies, who have provided great service every time I’ve ordered from them.
For that price, you get four citizens dining, a table filled with food and drink, two chairs, a bench and an empty table too. Again, for just $7.80.
There are two different dining sets available. I bought this one because I can pass off the diners as more Western.
Let’s see, we’ve got a priest on a dinner break from the mission, a blacksmith wolfing down a meal, a spinster sipping soup and a lovely lass who’s most liking to wind up sitting in a bordello sipping that drink because of her attire.
I’m going to skip the paints I used for the food items and focus on the big stuff. Paints are Vallejo unless otherwise noted.
