My next model project will be a small furniture factory. I am finding it difficult to come up with new businesses to model as I have modeled a lot of 1939 period businesses that would be found in my modeling region of western Pennsylvania. With the furniture factory i can use a lot of the SS Ltd cast metal furniture kits I accumulated years ago. This factory will have three buildings - the construction shop, the assembly shop and the storage and display building. I will construct them in that order. All will have interior detail.
Above is the beginning of the construction shop. It has board and batten walls and a wide end door which will be open to allow the machinery to be seen. It is in the early stages.
One factor in selecting this industry to model is that I have a lot of SS Ltd cast metal home style furniture which I have not been able to use.
Above is a photo of a vintage furniture shop which made kitchen cabinets.
Above is a photo of a factory that used lots of wood for their products.
I spent several days this week sorting out my collections of wood track ties and freight car trucks. I have a lot of both items, way more that I will ever use. A result of accumulating materials from the estates of friends and my father. Stuff, stuff stuff!
