Small restaurant model

 I had the sign and it was my inspiration to build this model.  The windows and front door are commercial parts.

The only interior detail is a figure sitting at a table at the window with a beer bottle in his hand.


The rear and side view above show the stove pipe, rear door and a wood storage box to fuel the stove inside.

Hoisting machinery maintenance shop

 I am finally posting this model I finished over a week ago.  The delay was due to problems with my computer.  All the windows and doors are scratch built and the details in the shop shed are mostly made up with scraps I had.


You  can see the workman in the shed above.


The roof has commercial shingles.  



Above is a view inside the shed from the side attached to the building and was taken before it was attached.  One of the machines inside was made from an old model locomotive motor.  The barrels are rubber pencil erasers.  As usual it is hard to see interior details but I like making the anyway.
