About this creation
Before the echo of the shot could ring out, Sherriff Culligan had already jumped up from the bar, forgetting all but his job; protecting the people of Cowskull Gulch. Running outside, he slammed the bar doors open, speedily running onto the porch, gun in hand, ready to give his life to defend his town. In one glance he summed up the situation - his Deputy Collins, attempting to defend himself, shot, about to die - The 3 Rifleers, father and two sons, guns still smoking. The deadly trio of desperados, claim another victim. Culligan's other Deputy, Big Johnny, simply too timid to try anything. It was down to Culligan to do anything…

The whole scene.

Please note my vulture design!
I always knew I had to do something with it… LWC Guy once suggested using it as a bird’s nest, but this is what me twisted creative self thought of >:D

Side view

Other side – please note my cow skull design! Try to find 5, and 5 small, non brick-built animals :)

Oh, dear! It looks like one of the Rifleers has knocked over one of the water barrels! D:

Vulture’s eye view :)

Play features – the balconies come off, allowing playability for the minifigure up top, and on the porch! (Both sides come off)(They are attached to the building by the leg sticking out! :D)(Also, in case you were wondering about the title – there’s a cow skull on the roof, and please note the bar on both balcony roofs – 2 Bar Cowskull Saloon!)

The middle section also comes off, allowing more playability!

Then the back section also comes off! Fully playable on 2 levels!

View from back, with no top level

In case you were wondering how, here’s the vulture technique!
I think losing the MO is one of the best things I have done recently, LOL! If I had won, I would be sculpting, instead of improving my building skills greatly!
I hope you all enjoyed!
God bless you all!

the scene is colorful, the figs nice, but, the building is nt a classic of the genre, you compensate with nice props, horse, but, it still doesn t convince enough, it s close. |

Great work Tim! I like the angles, and the spilling barrel of water captures a nice sense of motion.
thanks!

This is great! The angles on that saloon are fantastic. Its wonderful to just sit back and watch as someone's skills just continue to grow and grow right before my very eyes. Keep this up mate, and you'll take out the olympics next year.
haha, thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
And thanks so much to the rest of you! :D |
