I started working on a big box store model. I think I'll call it 'Stuff Mart'. It can be anything from a Lowe's to a supermarket to a Walmart. It is a simple enough project using foamcore, hot glue, a sharp knife and a couple of speed squares. I need to paint and detail it but so far so good, I think...
I've built it with an integral sidewalk, about 8 scale feet wide. Seems right to me.
The figures are there to give you an idea of scale.
Surprise! No roof. With it being such a big model I figured I wouldn't need a giant roof to take on and off. Besides, the inside of the store would be a complete game table in itself - assuming a 3x3 or even 4x4 table. Most likely I'll use these along a table edge to set a scene or establish an objective.
Second surprise! It is modular. Another reason not to have a roof! I built the walls in 12" sections with a small overlapping 'support' piece to hide the crack. This way I can use these in a variety of ways. I'm working on an entrance section - I'll post about that as I make progress. Once I build some corner pieces this modular big box set could be very versatile.
This next shot gives you a closer look at a section. Very simple.
That's it for now. I'll post more pics as I make progress. I'm also working on some parking lot pieces using ideas from Whiteface's road sections. I'll let you know how that turns out. Until next time...peace.
