[DIY & Creativity] My Future Hardware/variety store!

I am so stinkin’ excited! I bought this kit on Amazon for about $50. I’m gonna paint it…not sure what color scheme yet. It is 1:12 scale and I have a lot of awesome little miniatures from my Mini Brands collection that I can use in it. I’ll also order some stuff from Temu. I can’t want to get back home from my dad’s surgery so I can get started on it!
I’m considering a navy blue and off white color scheme. What colors would you choose? Any ideas are sure welcome! I tried to get ideas from AI but haven’t been successful yet…so if you have pictures of your ideas that would be awesome!

I love the colors of our Hardware store here. It is maroon and gray. Of course, living in Aggieland there is a lot of maroon stuff. I’m excited to see what you do with it

Absolutely has a lot of potential. I can’t wait!

I really love the apothecary colors and the stone on the front! I’m not sure how to achieve that look, but I’m excited to try!

@Sasa no, it is a large room with windows and doors. The roof even has a large viewing window.

@Tkaplan you can just make it with foam blocks. Cut it to size. Use a craft knife to make the cuts in it to look like Bricks and then color it accordingly. There’s lot of videos on stone walls on YouTube. I mean that is if you want to. lol

@Grey74 are these pictures of actual builds you have done from this exact kit? They’re awesome!

@mchipman is VERY good at that stone look, using clay (I think)

I have also seen people use egg cartons for the stone look.
