I have not decided yet what this structure is - maybe will later. It was scratch built based on a sketch I drew. It is two stories with an outside stair case. I put a plastic kit carriage on the right side under the upper porch.

Gas station and store combo
This model is a store with gas station pumps in front. Mt inspiration for this was a 1927 photo on a 1980 calendar of the H. C. Hickerson store. You can find a similar photo on the internet. My model is not exactly like the photo.

Old shack with old truck
This old shack and truck were both scratch built using a few commercial parts. The shack was built with board by board siding over an internal frame. The roof shingles are commercial. There are two figures, one inside the door and the other sitting on the ground in front holding a beer and looking like he may be drunk.

Industry model
I built this based on a picture in one of my books but it did not say what it was and I am not sure what it should be.
