Welcome to Henderson

Making the signage for the upper windows.




The preprinted Rexall Drugs that I had were way to big to fir the upper windows so I made my own.

I did this in Excel, the hardest part was sizing the cells to match the window size.  Once that was accomplished, it was easy to import the images into the cells and then select the proper background colour.





The paper signs were then cut out and blued to a styrene backing.  One the glue dried they were cut to size and glued to the inside of the upper windows.





The side of the building with the upper window signs installed.  I forgot to mention that before I installed the sign I installed the window glazing.





The front of the building with the upper signs installed.

Now I just to figure out the floor plan so I can start building the interior.

Thanks for looking in.

Ron,

Great job. I was going to do the same to my #II Row with the Rexall in the turret corner.  Great minds I guess.

Howdy Tom,

The signs and lighting are fantastic. I like the use of photos combined with 3D furniture for interior detailing, and you've mastered the technique.  Excellent work.

Have fun,

NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!

The drug store id completed. 

So the interior of the drugstore is finally completed, it's a bit crude (everything in N scale is teny tiny) 




I thought i was done when I installed the counter stools and diners but the middle looked like there was a huge void in the middle so I made a magazine stand and central counter.  The items on the counter a bits of coloured styrene.





another view





And yet another view. 






The interior of the drugstore installed.





One last view.

Now I need to plant all the building.  To do that I need to finish colouring the side walks.

Thanks for looking in.
