Antique Shop

An overview of my new antique shop.

This structure once was the cabin along the waterway below the causeway on my WRD. Since it is not needed now I turned it into an antique shop.  The structure is actually the rear wall add-on for the Sylvan farm house I posted about last week. With the home still not needing the add-on I made a new roof out of some picture mat board. The walls are brown that I added Bragdon powder dark rust. The green door and windows get some green and white highlight powders. I have a good collection of antique signs. I went through them and added those one might find at a shop such as this. A bit of fencing, flowers and weeds are applied. The model is added to a small piece of Gatorfoam that has ground foam and dirt added. Now to find a use for this scene...George Dutka

Some F&C blocks are seen in this view along with many antique signs I have copied from sheets included with kits I have built.

The flowers, weeds and golden rod are from Scenic Express.

I used picture mat board for the roof. Although it is a bit thick, it takes paint well and has a texture that adds interest to the roofing.

The garbage can and milk can are Juneco castings. The barrel lid is from Tichy.
