My KFC building had to go because Colonel Sanders did not respond to my request to establish a matching prototype to my model 
The property will be used by another fine key industry. Gilbert's body shop!
The prototype is funny. It looks like a Vernon property on the north side of E. Slauson but Google Maps puts that very property to Huntington Park and the Zip code fits Huntington park too. I am playing again with a street view captured image as the front of a styrene structure. It gives a nice color touch I could not get otherwise.

Josh, one part of a strip lifted after I applied excessive water. I stopped at that spot, let it dry, it settled back and did proceed weathering later.
The buildings are scratch build. The one on the photo is a "show box" made from 0.06" styrene plated with 2" wide 0.02" thick styrene. The larger structure build yesterday followed the same principe but the curved wall is 0.02" "thin" for easier curving and than plated with 0.02" too.
