LOL....!! Now I will never be able to look at that building again without thinking about a popcorn popper! Probably will name it as the headquarters for "Popcorn Poppers Inc."...! OK...that building was supposed to be about 3 times taller but the components I had planned for that were supposed to be sold to me were accidentally sold to someone else. The mirrored floors are made up of circular (motorized) display platforms stacked on top of one another. The top is a clear display container that was meant to be inverted as a bowl to hold small cosmetic products in a local store that went out of business and had all kinds of neat displays that could be re-purposed. I will be adding a garden under the roof dome with a few figures sitting around enjoying lunch, etc...All put together like you see them represents a modernistic mirrored glass building. I sure wish I could find about a half dozen or so of those display platforms!!
That's very cool Alan. I remember seeing pictures of Neil Young's layout where he had the old Filtex vacuum cleaner as an industrial factory, similar to this one.
