The Henderson Building - store front progress

Work continues on the Henderson Building that will find a home in the Hoovertown downtown expansion. This building will be viewed from approximately three feet - thus the "good enough" principal when it comes to finish. The ground floor store front is occupied by Pelletier Travel. The window printing is printed backwards on the rough side (required for printing) of 3M(tm) transparency film. The travel posters in the windows are printed on card stock that is bowed (curved) to fill the windows and open at the top to allow light from the "light pole". Floors above the ground have vellum behind the "glass" to allow for light to come through without seeing the interior.

Here's another view of the work in process. I had a comment on one of the forums that the type font for the windows was the wrong style for my era (60's & 70's); however, I like it and I think that I'll keep it. The doorway in the left side wall is for access to the upper floors. For the edges that are exposed I have to scribe all of the individual brick mortar lines (fun!) which takes a bunch of time. I can only work on them for a little at a time.

I'll post more on the building as it progresses.
