One of my long(loong)-term projects has been about building a proper urban board. I got some buildings about a couple of years ago, but never really got into it. The absurdly gorgeous Ferrograd has been the final inspiration I was requiring 
(of course I won't reach half the awesomeness of Ferrograd, but I must credit Colin for the inspiration) 
My first building would be this tavern. The set wasn't designed to be played in the inside, so I made some modifications. First of all I added a foamboard floor:
The bar was made with some more foamboard and cardboard:
Then some posters, every local tavern has some dirty posters with concerts, ads or just the menu:
So this is the inside after I placed a couple of tables and seats:
The outside was just grey primed. To do some proper weathering I would need an airbrush (which I do not have nor plan to buy). Buuut I had more primer sprays
. They work for me, it was just a matter of making it dirty 
:
The final touch was to add a sign. I opted for a hanging tavern sign. As you can see, a coffe stirrer makes the deal. Now you can see here the Firefly influence on me. I already painted a Blue Sun container, so I went on the same way. According to Google Translator
it says 'sparkling pulsar'
This is the final aspect:

Hopefully this will be only the first of many (and better) buildings, I'll keep you updated!

I have an eye on Sarissa Precision, Impudent Mortal, Ainsty and so on, buy I'm not buying anything else until I finish what I still have at home! I guess I should actually build a proper board before I populate a city with too many structures, but I don't work on impulses, but on creativity spasms
