I washed, taped and started painting the walls, roof and floor. I will be sticking fairly close to the colors recommended in the instructions however will deviate with some pieces as I go along. Wall paper came with the kit but it was so beat up I printed a new sheet. I also am not going to paint the floor the checkered white and black - too much hassle. Instead I printed out the pattern and will glue it in place.
While I was waiting for paint to dry I started on the interior details. Photos are shown below.
I decided to glue all the desk details in place. I will paint the desk its color then go back with a brush to paint the lamps, phones, typewriters etc.
I built my own pharmacy booth out of 60 mil styrene. I did not like the paper doors supplied with the kit so am using Grandt Line doors for both the first and second floors. I punched circles from 20 mil styrene to make plates. I also decided to glue all the bar stools to a piece of 20 mil styrene. I will paint this as a sub-assembly. I figure to paint the 'plates' white then add some yellow (eggs), brown (bacon), green (veges), black (steak - like them well done). Not sure what to do for silverware. The stools will be silver with black tops. The fountains will be silver as will the cash register. I will paint the bottles in the crates a dark brown ( I like root beer soda) then go back with tan for the wood. The radiators will be dull nickel.
