JohnReid Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thanks ! I want it to look like it did when Buffalo Bill returned it to the original manufacturer after many years on the road with his Wild West shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnReid Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 My main goal here is to tell an interesting story .The sign on the stagecoach makes my goal very easy so I will change my mind about the saloon and build the structure in the pic which is the home of the manufacturer. http://s6.photobucket.com/user/JohnReid/library/Diorama%208%20Deadwood%20Stage?sort=3&page=1&postlogin=true 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 But in all the Western movies I grew up with the stagecoach is always parked in front of the local saloon, loading or unloading passengers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post a direct link before I get so thirsty that I start looking for the saloon instead of the residence? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnReid Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Actually the pic of the stagecoach with the sign on the side is the factory in Concord New Hampshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomastourist Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Wow great work,John.What a novel idea to have a Wild West diorama and you have gone to a lot of effort to make it authentic.I look forward to seeing the finished item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thomas, check out John's other pictures. He has also done a couple of Sergio Leone-type movie sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
