Continuing...........
I added aetate glazing to all the windows. I would suggest in hindsight that you do this while the walls are flat..........hmmm
I have added a foamboard floor to the ground floor of the building together with the main doors.
I have used two extra layers of foamboard to the areas behind the big display windows.

Great job so far Mike.

Thanks Curt.
I have added a green carpet to the ground floor leading from the doors. The display windows have had backing added and I have started adding a display.
I am using Scalescenes downloadable "Interior Detail". First off a window with two electic ovens, one gas oven and a washing machine. I am glueing the printed detail sheet to card to make up the items.

For another of the display windows I decided to make three sofas. Using the Scalescenes kit each sofa is formed of four pieces covered over by printed sides. In the pictures you can see the sofa arms ready for their cover pieces. The backs and sides are already constructed. Finally the sofas were glued together and then placed inside the window display.

your build is coming along nicely! I've got this one on the shelf but have yet to tackle it.

love the look of those city buildings. Some times we get so caught up in the caricature we forget that all cities and towns had brick buildings on main street

I have built some Scalescenes kits and they are really nice I have the same interiors set

I forgot to mention they have some great textures. I used the plywood for my lumber shed.

Hi Mike:

I do have to say you have great patience. I'm always intrigued by your builds.

For the big corner window I decided on a ladies fashions theme. I painted up some female Preiser figures and some hand bags / satchels and glued them to a plinth. Trying to glue five figures straight with tweezers from inside the top of the building was not going to work. I then glued some abstract paintings behind the figures.
Now only another 3 or 4 floors to go................hmmm

I pondered how much work would be involved in populating at least four floors within the department store with sofas, beds, TV's etc. I concluded that it would be a waste of valuable time if you could not see the details.

So a first for me. I soldered two wires to a strip of LED's and located them on the inside far corner wall of the store.

There are four floors at the Bon Ton. This is the bedding department which is having a sale. The lift shaft is in the middle, the salesman is trying to get a sale from an older couple and a young couple are waiting to grab a bargain! Scalescenes furniture, Preiser figures and some advertising downloaded from the net reduced to 49% on the copier.
