Thanks Frizzen. ATCO makes all kinds of sizes but I was limited to the 4ft width of a sheet ( wanted the ribs to be vertical and all one piece) but still created a scale size. It measures out to 7" wide , 17" long and 9.5" tall. So , about 8' X 20' X 11'.

i just had an idea tonight for making another look to my future scale buildings and it works so well I just had to share!

Using nothing but a light diffuser from a fluorescent light fixture I trimmed the ribs to make a brick pattern, layed on top the Coroplast and sprayed.

Here's what the very first test pieces look like. So easy and can use same template over and over. . This kinda puts me back in a building mood.

[Supermario]

Such a teenage lament.

[TRUCKMAKER]

Yeah you know, when your eighteen

[Supermario]

No pain , no gain..... Making myself a nice large template for the brick look template.Time spent now will pay for many paint jobs going forward.
I'm going cross eyed cutting and looking at it but getting there.

[TRUCKMAKER]

You know your going to need a LARGE parking area around that building, I'm sure it'll have good eats and all the truckers will be stopping.

I have to agree Mark. Crazy enough to take the time and do all that cutting but no patience when it comes to painting. Strong winds today but I couldn't wait and painted the deli. I also need to do a better job of applying downforce on the grill to have consistent crisp lines. Oh well, lesson learned and besides, it gives it a weathered older look.
Still got lights to do and a few more details but consider this another building built!
This one also completely dis assembles but instead of one piece with folds, each wall is a section. Still sturdy and I think I'll keep making them this way. Easier and faster to do.

will the deli be open by august?

Great job on the pointing of the bricks. Is there any sub-divisions available for lease or sale.
