Project
So what do we have here?
- First floor has checkered floor paper found on internet.
- A photo of a liquor store interior was photoshopped and then applied to foam core
- Second floor also has a photograph of a 1920s kitchen applied to foam core - I used full sheet label paper to make the job go faster (so I would not need to let the spray adhesive dry overnight
- I installed its hanging O scale neon sign with hot glue - thought that truly hanging the sign would leave a bit too fiddly - particularly where it will be placed on my layout
- The wooden with tarpaper (black photo developing tape) awning has been installed and weathered
- Two of its second floor windows are ajar
- All three windows have window shades - made of construction paper - installed at varying lengths
- My first near-rooftop sign was discarded and replaced by a smaller sign that would be more true to prototype.
- On my first attempt, these O scale wooden corbels would not fit due to how my roof was installed... I was thinking of leaving them off as a salute to a simpler building that may be showing its age by 1944 but then decided to include them after all.
- I am waiting for an O scale electric meter from my friend Gary Eames (Yes, I did receive this electric meter and duly installed it)
