Upgrading a building on Sweethome Chicago

[Jon Grant 4472]

When I first built Sweethome Chicago in 2005, I was modelling to an exhibition deadline, so had to make the buildings quickly. This meant that a lot of the detailling had to be left out.

I have now revisited one of the first buildings 'Val's Country Kitchen', which sits right at the front of the layout in the most photographed area, and am finally adding some detailling




I've pulled the building off the layout, pushed out all the windows, hacked off the roof, and scraped off any uneven paint to get it ready for a make-over.

The first job was to build an interior, which was done with cardstock. I have attached some cut-out interior photos (resized) from Railroad Graphics http://larcproducts.com and added a light bulb - no point in doing an interior if you can't see the darn thing.

Here's the progress so far








I am still trying to find some photos for the store window displays and will post some pics when I get them done.
