I've been working on the foundation of the adjacent Western Auto Parts store. The materials and technique are the same as what I used on the drug store.
The combined building foundation/sidewalk is different from what I did for the drug store because I didn't have enough material for a solid block. However I didn't need a solid block anyway, the slope of the road combined with the shorter frontage did not require the deeper sidewalk.
Here is the foundation during the test fitting. The smoothing and painting of the concrete surface is next.
The business signs have been temporarily removed so that I can install additional details on the structures. The window awnings on both buildings can be seen in this view.
Before I installed the awnings on the corner building, I created two roof drains from styrene.
In addition to the window awnings (2 of which are on the back side), I added a door awning, three electric meters with conduit and a AT&T connection.
The Western Auto building received some additional detail also. I blanked out three windows, added an awning (opposite side), and electric meter with AT&T connection and a basketball backboard. The round object to the left of the backboard is an old security bell from a previous tenant.
The roads still have to be brought up to the final elevation among other things. I also need to install a storm grate uphill and left of the curve in the sidewalk. Then install a railing on the sidewalk to keep pedestrians from falling into the street. Oh and re-install the business signs.
