Hey guys, everyone had a good Thanksgiving I hope.
This week I've got the Plasticville factory. Another salvage job I did a while back but now added two new upgrades. I obtained some machine shop tools at a swap meet and decided to use some of them in the back as part of an interior room I added. Secondly, I added LED lighting so it would be visible. I'll probably add some planters out front and a few weeds on the grounds, but for now this is it.

need to get a 7up plant & put in a rail line embedded in cement so trucks can use the rear dock too 
Which would be a good idea for yours too

Those sky lights are a great touch, Gary. I will be trying those LED's, as
well. That came out nice. Always trust Honest Sam's! Nice, Mike.

Thanks Chops - The skylights are just printed grids. I think they look pretty good too.
Microbusss - Good idea, I might just do that.
Mike those old Fords will look great fixed up.

Gary, those yellow safety lines on the interior floor are a nice, authentic touch.

Nice cathedral Frank. Ever thought about painting it, or do you prefer it as-is?

** Back in the 1950's when I was little, these were a common sight. That was their color. To me it wouldn't be the same.
