Thought I would share the development work on this crazy HO scale kit that I have been developing for what seems forever. It has mutated into a monster of a development project that now includes full interior details, lighting, lighting animation, and spans options for 1930's, 1950's, 1970's and present day. The station / store / residence exists to this day in Salisbury. I will share some of the detail development here.
Here are some pop machines for the kit (1:87th scale). The modern machine is lit by a single LED internally with paper graphics in place. Took a bit of work to design the chassis to give even lighting with no shadowing and a minimized bright spot. 4th time was the charm!
No wonder its development is taking so long. -- Russ
Wow Darryl, this is fantastic. Best wishes as this project develops and goes to market.

Fantastic, Darryl!
How I like to drink scotch so I can have enough "Detail Painting Supports".
Wow, those look great! You seem to have somne extra large bottles there over the pond ;D
The prototype building is very cool, lots of character. Your details are great, especially that modern Pepsi machine!
Here are the painted interior details. A lot of work for something that will be viewed through windows that are 0.35" wide by 0.5" tall!
