The Miniature Building Authority offers all sorts of neat terrain bits.
So when I was looking for items to furnish a 4Ground Old West shop I decided to name Laci Kaye’s Cowboy Cafe, I checked out their site.
And I found what I was looking for, a table and benches, complete with food items to put on the table.
In fact, I picked up two of these at the 2024 Fall-In convention in Lancaster, Pa., a relative bargain at $8 apiece.
Each table comes with two benches. Items for the tabletop include two plates, a turkey, a chunk of cheese, a loaf of bread, another food item I decided to paint as cherry pie, two cups and a pitcher.
The photo above shows how I painted the sets. The exact paint selections are listed below.
The counter and cash register are a separate item, sold by Things from the Basement. it’s included in the photo only because the counter is where I decided to plant the cherry pies!
As usual, the paints are Vallejo unless otherwise noted.
