The Ammo Arms was always going to be where my troops gathered in between missions for a drink and a good time. It has come a long way since it's humble beginnings of a few boards for walls and a piece of wood for a bar
The early days.

From this I decided to build the first Ammo Arms, I made a wooden box at aboyr 4ft x 2ft.

As some of you have guessed from my last comic, the 'Ammo Arms' is under a make over. I have extended the original design by an extra foot in length, making it now 5ft x 2 1/2ft x 1 1/2ft.
Fitted new inner walls
and started a spot of wallpapering Should look better once the glue has dried out

So, version stayed for a while, but I must admit, I did have terrible problems lighting it and glare from the lights. So the time came to rebuild again. The size it now stands at is 7ft x 2.5ft x 2ft.
Sadly, I never got around to taking any pics of the building process, except for a few, so here they are.
So here are some pics of the first shoot f the new pub. I do still have a few odds and ends to sort out, but it's now around 95% finished.
The largest change was adding led lights to the ceiling, which I have to say are fantastic! I might add a third set yet? but we shall see. The next job was too add the seating and finish off the small pieces of skirting boards. Its all starting to come together here,
"Hey guys, and girls of course, I'm Joe, the landlord of the Ammo Arms. At long last we are ready to reopen the doors.
As you can see, the bar is much bigger, we have new seating, new lighting and well pretty much everything is new!, let me show you around"
"As you can see, the pool table is back, we now have a security door and a raised bar.
Yeah, some of our pictures and posters are the same, but we didn't want to change everything..."
"Here, you can see our new stage, and look, it's Willie B, wo will be the opening act when we re-open"
"Hey Joe" smiled Willie,"We all ready to open?"
"Just about, but we still have a few minor checks to make before then, so we have a bit of time" replied Joe.
"Why not grab a guitar Joe?"
"You know, I know a few tunes myself" replied Joe,
"Cool, let's get started then!" smiled Willie B.
And so, with all systems go, Joe opened the doors and let in the regulars!!!
