It took me longer than planned to complete this model as I had to adjust the wall ends to make the roof level. The roof is removable so you can see the inside details. The side addition is a storage area for the liquor and beer products. The roof "tarpaper" covering was made using strips of "rough" black paper.

Liquor store model start
My next model is a liquor store. I decided on this because I wanted to use some plastic store interior details which had a lot of bottles on the shelves. I have spent a lot of time working on the interior details. I will make the roof of the model removable to allow the interior to be seen which is better than just looking in the windows.
The shelves on the two upper walls were the same with a door in the center. I kept the upper left shelves with a door in the middle as there will be an attached shed on the left side of the building. The one on the right rear wall has shelves replacing the door. There is a table in the center of the interior with a case of bottles on it.
Above is an interior view showing the front of the building with a counter where purchases can be bought. There is a clerk behind the counter and a woman customer purchasing some products. On the counter is a cash register that I scratch built, some bottles and paper work. The red "box" is a coke machine. More to come probably next week.
