South of the Border... (1 Viewer)

[King & Country]

Hi Guys,
Over the weekend I finished another little piece of our ‘Western Town’ backdrop. This time around I wanted a typical Mexican 'Cantina' that you might find down on the border or just over the border in Mexico itself.
As you can see it makes a pleasant and contrasting type of building to the more American woodframe types.
Next time around it might be fun to create a Mexican church or something like that. Anyway let’s see...
Best wishes and adios for now,

Andy

Andy, this is so cool. You're really drawing me to your Cattle Drive collection with all of these great pieces. Colors look great and I love the sign; a perfect building to showcase these splendid figures.

EDIT: on a side note, is that a new bar keeper?

The Cantina reminds me of the song, "El Paso", by Marty Robbins.

Thanks

This range is looking excellent, not in my sphere of interest, but can still appreciate the quality from K & C when i see it.

Never saw him but my Dad loved his music as well. Bought him the Gunfighter Ballads CD; then years later, picked one up for myself. Always liked Big Iron and Cool Water as well. How cool to have seen him in concert (and in Vegas). Story songs are the best!

Sorry guys, not trying to get "off topic" from Andy's beautiful Cantina.

Hey Rob, when I got a CD player years ago, I disposed of all my records except for that album as it belonged to my Father, some great memories there.

Remembering my own situation..losing my record collection in the great hurricane of 92,,,my albums all had perfect jackets with a plastic wrap over them,,all stacked loosely etc..they would have lasted forever,,,,the few I saved had an audio hum caused by the labels ,,jackets , melting from the wetness,,unable to be cleaned which i tried,,,,as far as insurance great lessons are learned from what isnt covered like book collections,,
