RMweb Gold SHMD Posted February 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2015 ^ that's really nice. (You can't have too many bicycles in any Chinese scene I say!) How about the obligatory small (6 to 8 inches only!) stools that are so popular there, both inside and outside the shops? Another (outside) idea for a scene can be a Chinese chess game - this always seams to draw a crowd! Kev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so let's see; Large pile of packages, containing something white (powder?) - Check! Pile of liquid storage drums (industrial chemicals?) - Check! Stacks of wooden packing cases and boxes (the sort that laboratory glassware comes in?) - Check! OMG! Its the location for the Chinese version of 'Breaking Bad'! Seriously though, have been watching this post for a while now and am amazed at the whole project and the progress you are making - keep it coming.

TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hello again Another day off sick has given me more time to get on with the next shop unit. This one is owned by Mr Chang's cousin and the floor is a terrible state and so some family members are re-concreting it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al. Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Looks good, Paul. He needs a couple of friends mixing the concrete for him, or it'll be a long job. How many more have you got to do? It'll be good to see a pic of all the units installed in the building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Two of the units are still not fixed to the main structure yet as the building is not finished with weathering... the next unit will be a chemists and then maybe a doctors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Great work as normal. I am in awe of the effort you are putting in to this project Thanks for these nice comments .... I don't consider myself a good modeller .... I'm just someone who makes the most of what talent I do have ..... anyone could achieve what I've achieved with this layout ....it's all plastic kits and PECO track after all!

TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Here's what I've been working on today ...... the Chinese herbal medicine shop counter ... and in situ......... Edited February 10, 2015 by TEAMYAKIMA 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Sometimes manufacturers seem to play fast and loose with scale when it comes to scenic items - Heljan are the worst - and whilst the deviation may be small when you put an overscale item next to an underscale one then trouble starts. So it was with chairs. I've bought loads of chairs and stools from Faller/Preiser....... the Faller garden furniture seemed fine until I made one (3 bits) ..... somewhat overscale I thought... like two Chinese could sit side by side .... more a sofa than a chair! So I cut it down to size! It may be subtle , but worth the effort in my opinion. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) And all put together for the first time - still stuff to do though! Only just noticed the two white wires showing through one of the hallways!! The herbal chemists shop is new and needs some extra detailing ... the detail inside the counter I spent a whole morning on is virtually impossible to see - even in close up let alone from 4ft 6ins away!

TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 It's the early morning of February 14th 2005 and Mr Chang's youngest son is looking for a Valentine's gift for his new girlfriend Whilst his grandmother is explaining what's wrong with her to the chemist who is pointing out the problem on the skeleton on the wall. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) The 3d printing is not going anywhere at the moment and so back to interiors.....
