 DPM structure modification. This is where we get into my thought about using more commercial buildings. This is a, I don't know what the name is. It's a DPM structure, I know that. That's a magnificent structure. And those are gonna be joined together to match the street angle. Next one, please. And this brings out a point just because the manufacturer offers the structure as a square or a rectangle. You don't have to build it that way. This one, of course, they wouldn't offer it in this configuration, but this is a sharp angle. So I put a styrene wall here and here to, and the track goes right behind it. And so it shortens, it looks like the, from the front the building is full size, but it isn't when you look at it from the top. Next one. Here's an example of not preparing the building with, for lighting that, and showing what happens. Now this building had a primer coat of gray in it. It was pretty good, but you could still see it shining through with a couple of spots and certainly down here. The magnificent building didn't have anything and it showed all the supports for the detail and everything. You don't want that shining through. That's why you're painting it black. Next. Okay, now all these buildings are primed. This is the, this one here, I modified. Next one, please. Had three windows here. I elongated one, I made a door out of it, put a platform in and put Central Valley Sears down. Now I have it up here in the apartment. Now my structure is basically different than 50,000 other ones, just like it around the world. Next one, please. Let's see, can you go back one? Notice the roof here. When I put that in place, it was into the scenery and it didn't look right. So I, next one, please. I made the roof slant down. I raked a shankle here just above the window to reduce that problem. Next one, please. If I painted it all black on the inside, I used a tissue paper that was around the acetate for the curtains and I put pieces of an IBM card in for a shade. Next one, please. And it looked pretty good. That ginsen, oops, that ginsen brothers is a paper sign that was put on that building, although it looks like it could be painted on. We'll get more to that in a while. Next one, please. This particular building had big windows and without anything inside, it would look vacant. So I made these little crates, which held vegetables and fruits and everything. After woodland, scenic apples and oranges, I ran out of fruits and vegetables to put in it. So what I did, I got my squadron part A and I put a bead of about a 16th inch high on a piece of glass and did before it's set. I hit it with a sharp pencil and making all these little bumps in it. And then I cut it up so that, then I colored them, then I cut them up and put them into the remaining slots. Next one, please. So now I see they're all there. You don't know what they are, but they've got to be fruits and vegetables because that's where it sells. And you can see my framework I'm making now for the awning. Next one, please. I made the awning out of aluminum foil. Same thing your wife used to wrap anything. And I wanted flaps. And so I used my pick and shears. Don't use your wife's, you should have a fed. And make pointed flaps on it. Next one, please. Here's the flaps. Next one, please. So I painted the top side of the aluminum foil, probably a Froquo buffer or something like that. Light, very light tan. And then I got some drafting tape. No, I said, I stress drafting tape. You can get it at stationary stores. This is the tape that Dressman used to hold the paper up on the drawing boards. And then when I peel it off, it doesn't take the paper with it. It has good holding qualities, but it doesn't strip everything away. So I made up a bunch of 1-H strips and put them in the bottom of each of them which are inch apart across the painted foil. Next one, please. And then with my airbrush, I sprayed Coach Green on it, covering the whole thing. And then I took the strips off and I had a striped awning. Now this is with the awning facing down. I got a one inch steel wire that I put on one end and I rolled the foil over. This will be the roll coming out of the building. Next one, please. And there's my awning. Now that didn't take, that is rocket science. I mean, you can do that easily. Go one more, please. Both these awnings, when they're let down, they lose the tension after a while and they start to sway. And so I got about a three inch dowel and I stroked it a little bit so it had that sway. And that's why I left it. Then I get it in place and I know that the scenery was coming down on the corner of the collaborators and I said that wasn't any good. So I had to make a foundation here. So I put a one-eighth inch piece of also wood on. My wood burning tool, I made rows of sort of stone work in that part of it. And that became the foundation. Here's the building next to the grocery store. There's gonna be Kate's Cafe. Again, this roof has got a rakish angle to match the street. So now it's supposed to be right, but it's a rectangle, but it's gonna be like a trapezoid when it's finished. Next one, I put in another piece of styrene to make the second wall. And I braced it there. Cut out this piece. Next one, please. So now I've got a stable building once more. This door here was another entrance to the downstairs. And I wanted a place to go upstairs to the apartments. So I, and it was right in line with the windowsill. So I built up the door so it wasn't in line. And I even bricked in this window and I put a wall in behind there. And that became the stairs up the upstairs apartments. Next, please. So here we are, almost done. Next one, please. I made the room, the sign rooms so people know what is upstairs. That was just a green arrow with outline with a small brush in white. I think I painted those words on there, but you could use dry transfers or decals, I'm sure. So I made one window go up. That's in the corner. Rosie Rosie has always got her head stuck out to you who's down on the street and yelling at them. The Cates Cafe was put on acetate and I put another piece of acetate over it to protect the lettering and I thought, well, I'll just make sure that they don't separate up a little dab of sterling cement on and the cafe in Cates disappeared. So I thought, maybe I put too much on. So I did it again and I just put it, just a whisper on it and the fumes, those that got to it, but it all disappeared. So take it from me, don't join the two pieces that way. I did it with ginships of Scotch tape. Inside, those are big windows too and I decided to put some kind of tables and chairs inside. This is a pattern from my computer which I put rubber cement on and glued it to a piece of paper pad backing or shirt cardboard and I rolled it so it wouldn't have any wrinkles in it. Next one, please. If there were two black and white for me, so I made some white chalk dots by scraping a single blade against the piece of chalk to so I could rub it in and dug the floor a little bit like it would be over years of wear, next one. So I go down to, I know Pryzer makes tables and chairs and so I go down to my hobby shop and I says, do you have them? And no, when will you get them? Oh, probably two or three weeks. And I say, I can't work that long. I'm gonna make my own how hard it could be. So the seat is just a block of styrene. The back, which is glued to the seat, is formed around these pieces of cardboard to a long piece on each side and one across and then that's glued to the chair. Notice I padded under the chair too. That one's for looks. That was to bring the back up so it could be seen above the wall. It was sitting down too low. Next one. The tables were made the same way. They were just styrene with one piece through and a base. The table cloth were made from aluminum foil and painted white. All the chairs and the tables were painted yellow so I could see them for the windows. Next please. This is the tables and chairs on the weathered floor. And it's not, it wouldn't win any prizes but it's good enough for interior detail just for looking at it. Next one please. And there they are in the inside. You know, Kate's doing the open for breakfast and lunch because that's when the trains come either they usually don't come after two o'clock in the afternoon so if they do they can get a snack at the station. Next one please. Here's the walk going around the Kate's Cafe. Next one please. And so now my Kate's is finished and that structure's gotta be one of a kind of all the 10 to 1,000 other ones that DPM structures like this. I may have gone a little bit too far to make it like that but it doesn't take much to make it unique.
