Making Cisco Mercantile, part 2 [Works_Cisco Townsite]
: interior parts for the cafe
I’m trying to duplicate the whole town of Cisco, Utah in N scale. Here, I represent the making of Cisco Mercantile
In one scene of the movie “Vanishing Point”, we can barely see the interior of the cafe. There seem a counter, round stools and box seats. I scratchbuilt the counter and stools referring to the movie. Box seats came from MTL heavyweight paired window coach car, which are the remnants of making GN X187.
: interior parts and roof trusses applied
I, this time, tried to light the structure with LED as Cowgers seemed still running the business in 1970. The attractive signs sticking out from the structure were made from clear plastic; exactly, from an Atlas plastic box. I thought homemade decal printed on white decal sheet would gently light the sign, as if lit by neon tubes.
: parts for the neon signs
I tried white 3.3V 20mA square LEDs for the signs. I sliced one end of the clear plastic to slip in the LED. After the clear adhesive is dried, I roughly filed the surface. I first painted the edge of the parts with silver, later black before applying the homemade decals. Finally, the neon tubes made from brass rod were glued to them. Advertisements on the brick wall next to the signs are also homemade decals.
: applied neon signs and advertisements
「Cisco Mercantile」をNスケールで模型化しようとしている。
映画「バニシング・ポイント」のワンシーンにカフェのインテリアが見えるショットがある。これを参考に、店のインテリアをプラ板で簡単に制作した。飲食店なのでシンクは要るだろうと考え、カウンター内に作ってみた。ボックス席は以前GNのカブースを制作した際の派生品である。
1970年当時、店はまだ営業していたようなので、今回はネオンサインを点灯させることにした。といっても0.2mmの真鍮線が発光する訳はなく、看板本体に組み込んだLEDの光を、印刷したホワイトデカールシートから透けさせようという魂胆である。
