Mike , thanks man , one of my fav movies , I'm big on bar olympics , pool , darts , pinball [ old school ] , shuffleboard , foosball .

Tim thanks man , your wordsmithing was excellent !!

I actually have tons of pool/billiard ref pics , I started out saving famous people shooting pool and it just snowballed from there .
Pool/billiards was very big during WWII Axis and Allies .
My favs are old West saloons with pool/billiard tables .

Arnold Friberg painter , google him awesome artist .

Yep, should have known you’d have that question covered! Great pictures, you really had me fooled with the old Dragon Hummel winter-gear commander figure, never guessed you’re really going for a couple of mounted Florian Geyer cavalry knocking some balls around. Go on, just for the (temporary) hell of it, would make a great avatar.
Agree about Friberg, he was a real virtuoso & linseed oil must be good for longevity, 97 when he passed. Might adopt his quote: “There’s no tube of paint that says ‘Don’t know’. I have to come to grips with that”. Reckon we all know that feeling.
Cheers, Tim

Thanks Cheyenne for the roof tile info, I know that company and love the brick molds I have by them. The pool table looks so real I expect you could play on it.
Looking fwd to the next update, it's been a real inspiration.

YES! Julie Newmar in movie "My Living Doll" HOT!

Hi Cheyenne - ok, this is my third try to post! So no more patience by me for clever banter! The pool table looks great - nice mix of materials and finish!

Keep building!

Nick

Every time I look at the progress it get's more intense. Great work Cheyenne!


Cheers, Ski.

Chris thanks , glad to inspire you , the diodebris molds are awesome .
SGillespie , thanks man , that was cool !!!
Nick , thanks man , keeping at it .........
Ski , thanks man appreciate it .

When I first started this I was focused on the pool , diving boards etc , and the question about how I would do the roof arose .
Nick had pointed out it was an arched roof , so I did go with that .
However I did want to stick to a Victorian type architecture somewhat so I started the back windows like this .
There will be one more roof rib farther out into the pool area and the rest will be caved in , into the pool and surrounds .

Cheyenne, This just keeps getting better and better, every time I see it. The pool table looks great. The windows at the roof line look great.

Robert

Outstanding progress! Those windows look great but am wondering why you didn't repeat the pattern for the other side so you had a total of six? Something else wonderful going in there!

The ribbed roof is very unique and going to be spectacular. Do you have any more pics of the exterior circular roof structure?

Heya Rob , thanks man , how you doin out there , I see you're dealin triple digits on the temps , keep cool man , keep cool .

Patrick how's the move , you settled in yet ?
The arches will be repeated on the right side also .
Then windows under the half moon arch windows .

Patrick , do you mean the half round entrance next to the bar ? If so then I haven't done any more work on that yet but it's comin .

You answered them all! Great work!

Still moving stuff out of apartment... have until June 30. Then onto getting ALL the stuff out of storage. I sat down yesterday and today to plant some foliage on the dio.

Will post pics tonight.

Thanks for asking and I love the photos, especially the first two billiard players!

I am in the heat, It doesn't normally stay this hot at this time of year.

Robert

Cheyenne

Beautiful stuff, you're nailing it!

Excellent pool table, and there's a longish wood table lurking in one pic that absolutely reminds me of the long solid wood tables at the Hofbrau-House we visited in Munchen many moons ago. The locals keep their beer steins locked up until ready for use. Great food, music, and fun for all!

Question: The fireplace mantel/facade is your own, not a commercial casting? Looking sweet dude.

Really enjoy following this, Thanks

Dave

Dave , many thanks brudda , the table was intended to be in the bar before I made the pool table , I'm gonna try fitting in someplace else on the build .
The fireplace was made from different mold elements from diodebris products , can't recommend them enough .
They have been reviewed here on Armorama .

Ok , once again sorry for the pant load of pics but I like to use them to check my work . I can't believe what I find in pics that I missed by just looking at the work in real time ........... go figure .
Alright , the last pics , do the arches kinda , sorta , maybe look like marble .
Did some washes and this is what turned out , plaster of Paris [ I mean does it really come from Paris ] sucks up paint and stain way different than sheet rock mud .
Some of the stained areas are to be painted to look like concrete or marble , hopefully I'll be able to update tonight with the finished plan .

I haven't been able to find the time to look at much here lately so it is a pleasant surprise to see how much you finished in my absence. Nice touch with the curved roof supports. I hadn't even thought of that route! Lookin goood man
J

Thanks Jerry , noticed you were awol fer a spell , bathroom redux ?
How 's it comin along ?

The arches look fantastic!

No worries about too many pics... the more, the better!

Great looking marble effect ... love the cracks!

Love all the efforts put in to this project. All the unique made items are extremely detailed and very well done. A pressure to look at and enjoy with a cold beer in hand. Keep up the great job!
