I pulled out a box from the unbuild pile and I managed to selecxt the three kit set. The one on top was the Bakery so that's on the bench now.
Once again, the roof will be removable so that I can add lighting later on if I need it. This one also has a pretty big display window so I need access to that so I can fill it after I decide what the store is for.
I used the wallpaper with wainscotting, wood floor, and a ceiling from Clever Models. Of course that delayed construction quite a bit waiting for glues to dry. Since it has a slanted roof, I was trying to think ahead to the lighting and added a regular flat ceiling and the light should all sit up in that "attic" space.
I'm happy with how things are coming together. Trying to apply all the lessons learned from the first three kits. However, once again I managed to mess up the windows. I found a better glue to attach the clear styrene to the wood, but I somehow managed to smear contact cement across the windows. I got most of it off but there are still very well defined "streaks" on the "glass". Hopefully I can hide some of that later on with weathering and posters and such.
With the holidays fast approaching, I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to finish it so it may be a workbench queen for a while.

| I probably should have run the floor planking the other way. I doubt that anyone will notice. I went ahead and added crown molding, baseboards and the top edge of the wainscotting to give things a little depth. You can see the roof and ceiling supports here as well. |

| Here is the ceiling slid into place. Any lighting stuff should fit up here. |
 |
| Still looking a lot like a small box at this point. |

| From here you can see the space available between the ceiling and the roof. |

| And with the back resting in place. Not how I carefully marked which side should be on the inside...oops |
