Plaster shop model complete
I have completed the plaster shop model, and have named the business "Get plastered" - a little humor there. Below is a front view. On the left is a plaster mixing machine scratch built from wood and scrap parts. On the left of the porch is the owner sitting in a chair. There are various figures around the building carrying a ladder and bags of plaster.
This model was fun to build.
The left side above shows a better view of the mixer and some rolls of metal lathing which is applied to walls to hold the plaster in place.
Above is a view of the rear of the building.
Above is a view of the right side showing the truck port and details.
The above photo shows the prototype plaster mixer the I used as a guide for my model. The mixer barrel is on the right and the motor shed on the left. There is a plaster "bowl" at the opening of the mixer to hold the mixed plaster as it is pulled from the mixer.
