Department Store

[keiichi77]

When I first saw the Summit Custom Cuts HO scale Walmart backdrop building kit, I said I would have to buy that someday and convert it into a 1980's department store (Walmart never entered Canada until 1994 when they bought Woolco) for my HO scale Canadian modules. Then I realized why buy one when I can build one, there is still much to do but the main structure is done.  I have to add doors, an interior, lights etc etc etc.  I started building the Kmart first with a permanently attached facade, but then decided maybe a want a Woolco instead. Not wanting to build another entire building I built a removable Woolco facade that attaches to the building completely covering the Kmart one.  Once I replenish my styrene supply I am building a Zellers facade to attach over the Woolco one. I think all my bases will be covered then. 😉

You could add an Eaton's sign.

Never had an Eaton's in my area. Still have a smaller Hudson Bay but they are to upscale for my layout..lol

You can set the era by the store facade!
