A little bit of terrain today - not totally done, but as done as it's going to get until the guy I get 3D printed stuff from comes home from vacation.
This is a "Whataburger" stand from Things From The Basement, part of their new "Americana" range of 20th century American buildings. It's a beautifully engineered kit, everything fit perfectly with minimal sanding, and frankly it's got the best door hinge I've yet encountered on any MDF kit. Joerg at TFTB really designs wonderful kits.
I went with a dark brown exterior with red trim, based on the aesthetic of a hot dog place I worked at when I was 17-18 years old. We've got a local chain and I still go in pretty regularly for a dog and a milkshake. The sign over the front window is one that Joerg provided for the kit.
On the inside, I glued down some printed paper with a tile floor design I got from Sarissa Precision.
I printed handwashing and exit signs and glued those to the wall, and painted a 3D printed fire extinguisher I had left over from another kit before gluing it to the wall.
The windows are plastic acetate sheet, cut to fit and glued to the walls with PVA glue prior to varnishing. The varnish gives it a cloudy, dirty look, which helps show off that I cut it to leave the window people would pay and receive their food through open.
The kit does come with two picnic tables, which I have yet to paint.
Once Dave gets back from vacation, I've got STLs of a grill, fryer, industrial refrigerator and outdoor trash can to print. I think that'll give me the perfect balance between a detailed and a playable interior.
And that gives me another piece of terrain for the tracker:
