I stained and assemble some of the interior details for the station today, the information counter/dispatch board and the ticket office. There are still a few more details to be added such as the sign and bars for the windows.
The information counter in front of the dispatch board was made from 3 pieces of Home Depot molding glued together on a stained piece of 1/4 Luan plywood. The dispatch board was made using Microsoft Word forming a text box and selecting a black, background fill for the text box with white font color. It was printed on a B&W laser printer, glued to a solid black, Gator Foam board and glued to the back of the information counter.
The ticket office is also made of 1/4 inch Luan plywood and Home Depot molding. It was stained, assembled and will be sprayed with Rustoleum clear gloss. Other details to be added to the ticket office is the fabrication of bar-cage-like windows similar to that of an old bank tellers window. The cage will be made out of 16 AWG aluminum wire from the jewelry department of Michael's craft store, cut, assembled using Sinbad glue, sprayed gloss black and inserted into the two window openings. Interior lighting will also be installed.
The following are photos showing the intended location of ticket office and dispatch board inside the station structure.
The marbleized floor also was found at Michaels in the decorative paper aisle of the scrap-booking department. Craft stores are a GREAT source for structure detailing items.
More photos will follow as further progress is made.
