After all of the Christmas shopping got done and some family crises were dealt with, it's back into the Acme...
I've never scratchbuilt an interior, so I'm doing this blind. Figured I'd get the easier stuff done - we're going for floors and interior walls first. Went into a Paint program and printed a patterned floor. Two sheets joined together made it all the way through the interior space. I'm going to build all of the interior off of the floor and then when I'm ready to assemble, I should just be able to slide it in and glue it the exterior structure.
The side walls will just attached the outside walls, but the back section of the store will have a false wall that will house the meat cutting room and the bakery. The left side wall will be frozen food cabinets, and the right will be produce bins. I'll be heading to the grocery store with my camera in a little bit to take some pictures of loaded shelves, frozen food cabinets, produce bins, meat bins, swinging doors, meat windows, checkout stands, etc. I've got a vague plan to turn the photos into printed cardstock that I can fold up into shelving units and bins. I hope the people in the grocery store don't look at me like I'm a wierdo....
