A place for everything and everything in its place

Rose likes to keep the saloon as tidy as possible with all of those men hanging around. She couldn't have the cue sticks just leaning against the wall when not in use. So I gathered up some of the scraps from the dollhouse kit and some other miscellaneous wood scraps and made a cue stand and several more cue sticks. The billiard room was looking pretty empty and that fills some of the wall space. I'll be hanging some photos in here and I'm looking for a dart board graphic that's not a modern dartboard. Not much luck so far but I'm sure I'll find something appropriate.

Now they can enjoy the game

Jake and Daisy will enjoy the game now that they have balls for the table. I just made traditional solid and striped balls with a black one and an ivory cue ball (the cream/tan ball near the center of the table.) There are even a couple of balls in the net pockets. Jake is currently contemplating his next shot.

PS The Brimble kit came today. I'm not starting it until my middle daughter heads back to college on Sunday. She starts later than the other two. I will keep you posted!

Care for a game of pool?

This turned out nicely. I used a tutorial I found at One Lucky Bug online. I made a few adjustments based on what I had on hand. The legs are hatstands I got at Hobby Builders Supply.
There's a slight problem with this game - there are no balls. I'm still trying to find out what would be authentic for the 1860s and not having much success.
