Beer Tent

The Beer Tent

I was really on a roll when I created this camp, having just completed the Feed Trough and the Cook Pot. This one was inspired by the Museum Miniatures waiter and serving woman, above. I'd picked them up at Cold Wars and needed a camp for them to call home. I scratch-built the tent with paper towel stretched across a frame of bass wood posts. I also used bass wood to make a stand for the beer barrel and the table out front. You can't see them well in the photo, but I also cut out pcitures of oriental rugs from an advertisement and put them on the floor of the tent.

However, it is the personality of the two camp followers that makes this camp, in my opinion. More than a few gamers have picked up this camp, squinted at the serving wench, and said, "Hey! She's got cleavage!" Her snobby waiter companion completes the mood...
