I have completed the trackside platform sheds. It was interesting - now I need to decide where to install it on the layout. One end is a storage shed and the other an ice cream business, which also sells soft drinks and hot dogs. The roof is made from card stock and covered with the venerable Campbell paper shingles.
There are two figures in the ice cream stand and a woman and child figures outside buying ice cream. There are two figures in the center section, one is sitting on the small loading dock and the other is sitting on a bench at the right-side back of the center section.
Although it is hard to seem them there are a number of items sitting on the counter, including a cola bottle, a mustard bottle, a ketchup bottle, a hot dog in a bun, and a cup of ice cream. The cola bottle is a commercial part. The other two bottles are small pieces of plastic dowel slightly shaped. The hot dog is a piece of wire wrapped in a bit of card stock. The ice cream cup is a short piece of plastic sprue with a dob of putty on top.
Above you can barely see the figure on the bench. There is a open top metal barrel with junk sticking out beside the storage shed and there is a wood barrel next to one of the support posts - both are commercial parts. There are also two boxes sitting on the loading dock.
Now that this is done I again need to decide what to build next - always a challenge.
