1/35 scale Sandwich Shop ... already in progress

Thanks all!  The chips turned out to be unbelievably simple ... think they'll really "pop" with some slight touches of color once loaded into a tin, etc.  The clay looks promising for other little items.  BTW, rec'd a PM asking if they're really as translucent as they seem in photos ... yes ... with the drying-time extender added, it was possible to mash the clay super thin.  (There's one chip overlapping the joint between gray resin counter and white styrene added to that -- you can see the underlying colors thru that chip.)

Well, Gordon ... at the pub, one would hope to find a variety of salty snacks ... but we don't usually serve peanuts with sandwiches here!  (Peanut butter & jelly notwithstanding)  ;)

Meanwhile, here's a nice tin of crisps for you ...

Cheers,
Dallas

Dallas, interested in this straightened version of the label?

Merci Frederic!

Peux-je demander une autre faveur?  (To straighten this Dan-Dee label)

-- I think the Dan-Dee chip can is more typical for the era ...
-- Don't worry about the puffs on the side, I can fake those ... have other shots with enough info to do that.
-- Mainly concerned about getting the "Potato Chips" script straightened ... have this other flat logo without glare that I can paste in ... the other text will be so small that I can simply paste in similar text without worries.

Thank you!
Dallas

I'll do it. If you give me an email address, I'll send you versions not too compressed.

Thank you!  Email:  dallas(at)bouldervalleymodels.com

I have a very old version of PhotoShop & can open most file types.  "png" format seems to work best for printing the tiny decals ... but ANY file type is okay ...

THANK YOU for your help -- I'm rather clumsy with this particular type of work (straightening curved images)!

Here we are. While you didn't ask for it, I tried to straighten the bottom text, and it's not convincing. The top part seems better.
I send you a mail but here is the image.

Excellent!  Thank you!  No worries about the small text ... I can replace that easily ... what you've done will be a tremendous help and make it much easier to create a flat label (decal) to wrap around the tin.  Much appreciated!  -- Dallas

A little more progress ... got the sink painted ... forgot to dust it before shooting photos ... oh well!  ::)  8)

One shot shows it out in the open where you can see it better ... other shows it back in the corner where it will go once some other bits are ready.

Cheers,

I have found Photoshop to be an indispensable dusting tool. -- Russ

Starting on the stove from the Verlinden #888 kitchen set.  Looks like an old coal- or wood-burning job, so maybe a retrofit to burn gas is in order ... I just hope it don't "blowed up!"  :o

It's not a tiny stove ... but it does have some really tiny little parts!  :P

Suppose it'll need some paint and such ... so it goes.

Those burner grills look like they must have been a paint to make.
