Large Scale Central

Rick's MIK 23

Pigs feet and eggs, are ones I remember the most!

I remember those days from when I was a kid. There was a “farmers market” that we would go to on occasion and they had a Butcher. They had 2 big pickle barrels and it was fun to open the lid and grab a big pickle but sometimes there were odd things in the barrel like rubber bands.

That is a really cool looking building Rick and the loading dock really adds to it. Will you be dirtying it up at all? The roof top looks great.

I think you need a little dog or a cat waiting at the front door.

Well it is almost closing time and I have gotten as far as I can.
The (permanent) signage will have to wait until the Cricut gets here and I learn to use it.

The interior of the sales area is as done as needs be for added interest looking through the windows.

Love the cleaver sticking in the chop block!!

Stunning, Rick. At first glance, I thought your first shot was of the store you were trying to model. But no…

Good grief, that is stupendous! Great work, Rick!

That first interior photo is hard to tell from the real thing and that is a testament to your craftsmanship, Rick. The clever is a nice touch as is the photos in the wall coolers. Well done my friend.

I just noticed quite a collection of paint brushes in the back of the last picture. And here I thought this was a butcher!

:slight_smile:

Well thanks guys, it was fun to put together, and it really helps fill up those big windows.

Man Rick. You out did even yourself. That’s awesome.

Pretty sure the health inspector might take issue. I think there is a fleck of dust in the corner.

Wow. I’ve got high standards to keep up with when I do the interior of the pawn shop. I better go get to work!

I had to do a double take. I thought it was the real thing for a moment!

everyone else posts their pictures, Rick comes in posts his and

How did you build the clear freezer cases? I’m thinking I need a few similar cases for precious jewels in the pawn shop.

Hi Craig, I assume you mean the free standing meat cases not the reach in boxes in the wall.
The cases are real simple, just a wood block with Styrene laminated with epoxy and clear Acrylic for the “glass” fronts.

WOW!!! I just thought of three things missing on the interior.

  1. Gotta make a meat scale…
  2. Gotta make a roll of white butchers paper…
  3. Gotta make several hand drawn todays sale signs on butchers paper…

As is WOW!! Ray would be proud !

Thanks Dave, yea, those things were in mind but just didn’t have enough time, you should have extended the Challenge another month :laughing:

I think a couple beef quarters on that back rail would be perfect.

Rick this is an amazing build. This year will be tough. You and others did an amazing job.
