Thanks for the nice comments!
Finally! After two years of complaining, the little people now have a place to eat. The original CDR had a building that I believe was the concession stand to the north of the concrete grandstands. I've always wanted to replicate something along those lines. Sadly, I've only got 1 picture of the building and it is from a distance, so I've had to "guess" at most of it. Since the track is an homage and not a full replica, I figure that the ghosts of tracks past would be alright with that.
I started by scoring some concrete 4x4' grid lines in styrene and after a quick wash with several colors, I glued it into place and added Sculptamold and turf to the area. I purposefully added dirt and weathering to the pad to make it blend in with the surrounding area. The building is constructed out of styrene with Plastruct lap siding laid over it. The windows were simply boxed and have clear plastic added to them. The dutch door idea I "borrowed" from my friend Brad K's layout...although like everything he does, his is better... The roof is corrugated styrene, and I'm still not completely convinced that I'm in love with it. I wanted the building to look simple like the original picture, but wonder if it is too simple. I'll let it sit for awhile and think about it.
The signage is all printed out on my trusty ink-jet printer and glued to picture matte for depth. The RC Cola them falls perfectly into the track's official colors of white and blue, so that was a natural for the stand. The side of the stand has a small shelf with condiments and napkins for the patron's use. Those were made out of wire in the case of the mustard and ketchup containers and simple block of styrene for the napkin dispenser. The last thing that is bugging me is that the stand has no interior. I may rectify that at some point as well. We'll see how motivated I am to do that.
The picnic tables and benches are all simple styrene builds. The phone booth is a reproduction part off of eBay from an old Marx play set. It comes very plain, but paint and a plastic door I built for it bring it to life.
Now, off to get a burger at the stand while I think about the rest of the scenery...
