Produce Market(1st scratch build)

I decided that my calling card or hook or theme for my layout would be that I would put detailed interiors in all my structures.I have to tell you the nights I spent with a magnifying visor and tiny brush painting vegetables almost made me rethink that plan.

That is a really super looking produce stand.

Very nice. Makes you think of spring and summer.

It is always great to see a new convert to scratch building.   If that is really your first effort, I think we all have some spectacular future projects to look forward to.  Keep them coming.

Great job!!

That is one of the best looking first time scratch building projects I have ever seen.  It is so nice that it makes me want to shrink down to 1/48th and buy some of those vegies!!

Great Job!!!

Thanks for the wonderful comments guys and let me clarify again this is my first scratch built building. I have been building my layout since 2007 including my own covered passenger platforms.I'm trying to hone my skills before building what I think will be the centerpiece of my layout the Pennsylvania Station in my home town of Canton Ohio.

Nicely done.

Great work!

Great craftsmanship. What fine detail.

papa3rail,

      There is always great satisfaction of doing a scratch build. I enjoy seeing the works of others. Great job and great job on making a great scene. To be honest, once a layout is complete, there is a little bit of a let down as it can no longer stimulate one's creativity. 

"Layout complete"?? Tell us more.  I don't think I am familiar with this concept.   

Very nice.

Great detail. Can't wait to see the second and third one.

Beautiful job. Great interior details, too particularly the bread shelves. What did you use for the veggies, bread, etc? Also, am curious where you got those weights with the holes in them and the clamps. Keep the pictures coming.

Superb job and great details. Thanks for sharing! Terry

The bread is from http://desert-minis.com/shop/

The vegetables are from a few different places like woodland scenics and scavenged details from Bachman's roadside vegetable stand.

I'm a Toolmaker by trade the blocks are called 1-2-3 blocks and are common in the trade for making machine set-ups.The clamps you can get at Lowes or Home Depot.

Nice build.  Great interior details bring the building to life.

papa:  I looked at your site.  Three words besides wonderful came to mind when I saw your work.  Meticulous patient precision! I really enjoyed the progress and artistry.

No idea how I missed this thread.

Great job as always.

Grinder or machinist?

First scratch built structure?!?!?!?!  No way.   I can't imagine what your work will look like once you get a little experience.

Alex.....I think you have a competitor here!

Beautiful work. 

I'm impressed!  Don't think my fat fingers could work the detail as well as yours.  Can't wait to see your next scratch-built project.

Papa,

Totally cool.

I love that and it's a First timer.

Going to York?

In the corner of the Orange Hall, diagonally across from the area of the MTH booth is a lady that sells vegetable oriented accessories. I bought a dead cool veggie truck from her for peanuts. Not THE peanuts, very little money LOL.

Scrappy

Thanks for your kind comments.

The finished scene.
