Kitbashing Walthers Grocery Distributor

This was a result of trying to find a suitable building for a triangular site on my layout formed by a main road, side street and a siding. Checking through my kit stock and doing a net search, the Walthers Grocery Distributor seemed to be about the right size and could be fiddled with using a cut here and there. I came up an arrangement I was happy with. Then it was time to cut some walls, one thing led to another and here is the result. My take on a Smart and Final Wholesale Grocery of the 1950s (an actual company with a long Californian history).

National Ice & Cold Storage Co finished

Yet another "off-again-on-again" project. Just completed it this afternoon with some weathering. My first structure using foam core board. Learnt a lot, hope the next one will be easier!

Thought I would post these photos even though I still have to complete the scenery, access road and track ballasting.

New Chevy Dealership

After a couple of months of on-again-off-again, I finally finished my Chevy Dealership. The details follow in the next post.

MRH: Because this site repeats the first post across all the thread pages, long initial posts aren't the best. We dramatically shortened your opening post and moved all the good stuff to the FIRST COMMENT, which is a best practice on threads here.

Clinton, California gets an orange grove

Well, as Robbie Burns said "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry". I still have not finished my Period Miniatures railroad depot kit because the roof came out really bad, did not even fit properly and I have had to build a new one from scratch. Shingles on that now finished and just painted under the eaves, still to install the roof assembly on the depot walls.
