Jenay :o) As you can see there is a shelf at the back wall, which can of course be multiplied, it's a "loose" prop. and btw here's another shot from the opposite direction to show the till and the drawers on the counter

Hi Trekkiegrrrl. Yeah, shelves lots of them. A general store circa 1860 - 1920ish would have shelves to the ceiling and be absolutely packed with merchandise. I'll see if I can find some reference photos for you but it might not be 'till next week sometime... my missus has plans for me that involve paintbrushes and a long ladder (sigh). Jack

One texture hint: if the store could afford a cash register, it could also afford to have interior walls made of plaster. A hastily-built store in a mining camp would have wooden walls, but this looks a bit more settled and prosperous than that. (The same wood looks just right on the floor.)

OK Ockham, I didn't know that, about the plaster walls :o) But it's (relatively) easy fixed. Would wall paper be appropriate? or just painted plaster walls? After all they're going to be covered with shelves it seems G

No, after consulting the dim recesses of my memory, I take back the plaster. A store from this period would have tin panels on its ceiling and walls. Many store buildings in small towns still have such surfaces. For some nice examples of panels: http://www.planshouse.com/stories/Detailed/10130.shtml

How about an apothecary chest type thing...you know with lots of small drawers? Stores used them for hardware.

Handbills. Fliers. Wanted posters. Signs.



TrekkieGrrrl ( ) posted Sat, 26 October 2002 at 4:01 PM

The wanted posters and the like is going to be in my next project, after the General Store I'm planning to do a telegraph office :o) but well, I guess a Wanted Poster would be on every wall in town of the wanted man was eanted enough ;o) bknoth the counter HAS all those little drawers on the back, as shown on the second picture. If that's what you mean :o) Seems like I'll have to start watching a lot of wild west movies G

A pickle barrel is USUALLY your standard looking wooden barrel, i.e., wooden slats and most have a metal type - aluminum? - wrap around near the top and near the bottom holding it all together. About thigh high on your basic adult I would think. Usually sit by the door or counter. Pickle jars, on the are smaller and sit ON the counter. Hope that helps.


Larry F ( ) posted Sat, 26 October 2002 at 4:05 PM

Actually, the ones I remember - and I'm OLD - looked a lot like the barrel in the first picture. I'm using a slow connection right now and didn't see the picture before posting.


TrekkieGrrrl ( ) posted Sat, 26 October 2002 at 4:27 PM

LarryF, so there would be smaller barrels that would go on the counter as well? well, the newest barrel I've made (the light one with the lid) is easily rescaled if so. Oh and btw thanks for buying my Saloon :o) I hope you'll enjoy it.

Actually, I meant that smaller ones would be jars - much like that candy jar you have, usually with a large mouth to it, but I have in fact seen small barrels, just last week in fact at a flea market, so I guess that would work too. And THANK YOU for that saloon. It's great. Actually, I was a bit confused earlier when I thought the general store was the same as the saloon. Looks like I'll be getting both though. Good luck.

Heya, this looks really good. As for the face on the wanted posted, maybe the barbar who gave the man his haircut? :O)

Larry, I've seen crocs used for pickles. Any idea when that transition might have occurred...or was that just an option?


Larry F ( ) posted Sun, 27 October 2002 at 3:15 AM

Ha ha! I think that was the word I was looking for - "crocks"! One of my uncles who used to run a small jook joint in Louisiana used to call any kind of big mouth jar a "crock", so I guess that would fit for pickles. Also pickled pig feet. Or pig ears. Wait, I'm starting to recall my childhood. Time to change the channel.


PabloS ( ) posted Sun, 27 October 2002 at 8:44 AM

...and did you ever go down to the co-op and watch grandpa play checkers with the guys or discuss the latest in farm implements? :-) I've seen some prints by Barnhouse that depict this visual perfectly...even own one.

You might want to look into dollhouse sites - there are many miniature artisans who makes General Stores. Their sites should have pictures to help you :) Here's one I found on a quick search: http://www.dollhouseminiatures.com/Other/accessories.htm BTW - don't just search for dolhouse - you'll get porn sites and sites about the play :)
