Building interiors?

[nik_n_dad]

Hello.

 

I vaguely remember seeing decals/printed card stock with shop interiors for n-scale buildings, but now can't find it any sites. What do you folks use for store/business interiors?

 

Thanks

Some Tomytec buildings have interiors, like the coffee shop of Tomytec 130.

The Tomix Lawson's/7-11 had stickers for interior scenes and I think a greenmax may have had a bit of interiors on its sheet, but it's not common. I'm not sure if the model builder software does any interior details http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/model-builder.html. Most have to just roll your own out of simple bits ans photo printouts. At n scale you can cheat a lot and usually with a foot of distance they eye just needs a few cues to say interior detail and the mind's eye fills in the rest.

 

A few of the free download PDF cardstock printout building I've collected from the web have a bit of interior detail, I'll take a look thru and see what is there.

If you google around as many of forums out there for ho and o have a lot of examples of doing interiors with printout bits. Most folks use photos as a start to make their own shelves and such in a store. Just cut up bits of stryene or balsa to glue printouts to or just to the walls or a simple backdrop.

Other option is to cheat and put the whole scene printout just behind the window. Here is an example from a printout PDF

It's a debate on how much you can see in the windows of n scale buildings and from most viewing points a backdrop or just a couple of bits may do everything for you!

 

Of course you can go crazy like one of our club members did, you can find some of his wonderful micro details on the forum

It's funny a number of years back curt got me into thinking interior details and I found an interesting source, 1/144 dollhouse Modelers. Folks build 1/12 scale doll houses for 1/12 scale doll houses then got into modeling at 1/144. Lots of crossover of ideas to cheat on interior stuff.

I used the Tomix convenience store stickers:

 

 

and some posters from various other kits. Wish I'd scanned/copied the stickers now so I can use them in the convenience store itself. Still I can always photograph some real stores :D

I purchased some interior sheets about a few months ago:

 

 

They seem to work pretty well for the empty buildings some far ~

Jr500,

 

Where did you get those?

JR500,

 

Exactly as Jeff said-  this is what I remember seeing, but I couldn't find them online.  where did you get them, who makes them, etc etc..

 

thanks

I got these from a China supplier... I do not know if it is available for countries outside Asia though... I can however, provide a scan copy to those who might want them!  :)   But they might not be so clear though....

Did you ever make a scan of these? I'd love a copy if you have one. Or if you remember suppliers name. Those look useful.

As this thread has popped up... a convenience store interior I made from ad-hoc bits and pieces.

That looks awesome. I'll need something like that soon. I'm planning on breaking into my Tomytec Supermarket to add lights and re-do the interior. Unfortunately I put it together with superglue so it''ll be tricky. I'm planning on cutting out the floor and making a new one.
