Here are the first details that I have put together for the General Store.  I glued the micro LED upside down (meaning the lens toward the roof) in the phone booth. This cut the intensity and made an even glow for illuminating the "Telephone" signage.

Still have to add the "Have a Coke" decals to the sides of the vending machine. That and I just realized I engraved the tapered louvers on the pop machine upside down! DOH!
Cheers!

Those look really good. Are they laser cut?
Perhaps the Coke machine was originally destined for the Southern hemisphere?

You must have needed a microscope to build such perfect tiny models. -- Russ

Russ, I don't use my microscope much any more, but pretty much live with my optivisor on.

Bill, the Pop machine is laser cut and engraved polybak shell over a basswood core. The payphone is 3D printed and phonebooth is laser cut polybak and Duralar with laser printed signage.

I still have to create "Have a Coke" decals for the sides of the machine and am working on bottles and crates to go along with the machine.
Cheers!

They both look great, especially for such a small scale!

Nicely done Darryl... hard to believe they're in HO scale.

Stay low, keep quiet, keep it simple, don't expect too much, enjoy what you have.

and now the crates and pop bottles to go with the machine.

3D printed crates in grey resin. The bottles are printed in green clear resin.
Photoshopped crate decals over the resin casting.
Cheers!
