Not content with working on one project I started this one along with the fire dept.  It has a photo back drop to be added for the store interior, so this will be a quick build. Also they supplied decals for a semi delivery truck. Another project for the future. |

So much great product is out there for railroad modelers, cars, buildings, people, everything. I sure wish this area would come to 1/25, we need it!

Decided to break up the monotony of a all white building. The multicolor bricks were done with some new markers pens I found today.   As you can see here the sign painter came and did his thing.  |

Gave it another wash of gray, and burnt umber.  Then made up some check out counters.  And added a canopy.  Light for the rear of the building. I see now I need to add support wires to the light fixture.  |

Upon reflection I decided the light has to go. I'm going to replace with something more appropriate.
The oversized light is history, and I added a few new things.

Like I said some changes have been made. First up new lighting.  Next we needed some shelves for the merchandise ( have to paint them yet), and a dairy case.  Added some advertising to the walls.  Somebody tried to break in so we had to board up one window. I told you this is a bad area of town.  Also the staff is busy helping customers. Still more to come. So stay tuned. |

Given my history with the Red Owl, I have to say this is one of my favorite buildings you have done. The truck is a nice addition!
