More Scratchy Goodness + some kitbashing for good measure - Catt - 11-08-2011

I am starting on the third store for my downtown business district.Did I mention these are Z scale? Eek

Now that Lynda's Lair is to this point.

I have started on Hood's Automotive ,the local NAPA store .This one was suggested by a cyber friend in Texas who thought Lynda's looked like a local NAPA store.

Thought about it for a couple days and have decided that this will be Fowler's Fine Furniture store store.Not much done on this one yet.I will do the Family Fare as a stand alone with a fairly large parking lot.

Icon_lol You need stores named: "siZes"...or how 'bout: "ZZTops!" ...and maybe: "Zetrain Eye Wear Solutions" with a slogan, "We magnify your world."

Clearly...I better stop...and go back to my nscale world that's hard enough to see. Cheers

Mark, you are almost as much help as Mike. :mrgreen:

Re: More Scratchy Goodness - Ralph - 11-12-2011

That's shaping up to be a nice row of merchants. Reminds me of a lot of typical scenes along downtown streets. Looking forward to seeing how they develop!
What's the foot print of that group of structures in Z?

Re: More Scratchy Goodness - Catt - 11-13-2011

The three stores pictured take up 7- 11/16 " or in Z feet 141 ' when this section is done the stores will use up approximately 13" of real estate or 235 Z scale feet

By the time I am done every commercial and industrial building will be scratchbuilt.I am having more fun than is probaly legal doing them too. :mrgreen:

There is a store front on Grand Ave. in St. Paul that looks just like that! The windows on top are a great addition. The store I'm thinking of has a dance studio on the second floor and you can sometimes see girls practicing ballet up there as you walk on the other side of the street. I forget what business is on the ground floor. Nice one Catt!
