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

("Massive update" continued from previous page)

The long stretch of paneling adjacent to the angled front door "stays" inside the building when the interior is removed.  The thin white strip underneath it is a temporary shim to insure that the floor will slide underneath the wall ...

And, if that doesn't make any sense ... look at the second photo!  

[Malachi Constant]

This wall attaches to the removable portion ... the white section nearest the building is the bottom ... which overlaps the risers on the subfloor.  The square opening in the wall aligns with the channel that divides the "backroom" sections from the front ... and "might" provide a handy conduit for some wiring later.

Building and interior separated ...

BTW, I borrowed the idea for the drawer-style (slide-out) removable interior from Bob Santos here:
http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30102&whichpage=25

The removable interior should:
a) Make it easier to work inside!
b) Allow the photographer to follow characters inside "just in case" any silly little cartoon stories might take place in there ... and shoot from angles that would be impossible just looking thru the front door or windows. 

[Malachi Constant]

And, since it's likely to take a while to do each of the various components ... here's one of those photos repeated with some "notes" about where things are headed. 

Cheers,
Dallas

Lord have mercy. Now I see where you're going with this thing. Adequate.

Would you mind if I use your linoleum artwork to pave the streets in my 17th century Wild Man of Borneo Old West street scene?

That sounds lovely ... go for it!

Starting to sort & prep some interior details ... yellowish pieces from Verlinden Kitchen and Food Supplies sets ... gray from Tamiya field kitchen ... tan parts from DioPark Dining set ... ketchup & mustard bottles are O scale oil bottles from Berkshire Valley ... and some laser cut bread courtesy www.VectorCut.com

Don't worry about the bricks ... that's not a "crunchy surprise"  ... those are standing in for some condiment trays ... and there will be a nifty (hopefully!) glass sneeze guard around that prep area on the front counter.

Removable interior makes it easy to get inside ... and the rest, well I'm working on it!

Meanwhile, the natives grow restless ...
