Another scratch built project.
Author: Blue-Ox

Thought you might enjoy another one of my crazy ideas for a structure. "Mango Mami's Fruit Shack" is Ho scale and about 75% complete. Still have a good bit of signage and scenery yet to add.

Wow Steve, your hard work really pays off in the end. Is this project going to be for sale or on your layout?

Thanks Steve, Maybe both?? Since I build without any plans.....I've been toying with keeping the originals and building another to see if it would sell.

Looks great. Just wondering how you model the fruit?

Thanks,
All the crates are scratch built and the oranges and apples are Woodland Scenics. The grapefruits are painted mustard seed and the watermelons are small balls of foam painted green.

That would probably sell well. It fits well in many eras.

Very awesome. If it is current day, you need some ratty visa signs and hours somewhere in that blank space by the bottom of the doors. Amazing work
