Looks really good Joe. I love the floors and the shelf. Looks like a shelf in my shed!

Finished with the inside for now. Came out ok but I don't know if I'll do any more interrior. We'll see....... I think that's not just OK! I also agree that interiors can end up being a time-consuming hobby in themselves so it's sometimes best to put them on the back burner.

Hey Joe, that interior looks great! Maybe a couple more figures?

Looks great. I especially like the shelving unit. Maybe one more figure.

Joe, the interior came great. I agree that one or two more people inside would look busier and better. I'm wondering if doing interiors is worth the effort. Can you see the interior when the building is on the layout?

Can you see the interior when the building is on the layout? You have to take the roof off to really see anything. Interior modeling would be great for a large store front where you could easily see inside. I wanted to give it a try and learned that I dont have the patience for interior modeling. Its a learning process for sure...................................

Joe we think that your interior is great. We put interiors in all of our buildings and have found it to be a lot of fun. But unless you want to mimic Norm Charbonneau (spelling) or guys with that skill level, put the roof on (not permanently) and look thru the windows. That is your perspective on the layout.
Lighting is important. We don’t light every room. It leaves things to the imagination. But, it is vital for a successful interior. We usually use one of Dave’s 4 LED sets and tacky wax to hold them in place. If you really want to be fancy, get a flickering TV led or make a small lamp and put a led in it. Dave also has some attractive outdoor lamps for the entrances.
Your eyes are your best friend. They work with your brain and are not like a camera lens. They fill in the blanks and see what isn’t there. Cameras show a different perspective and are great for looking at scenes to see what needs correcting; Paula says they are unforgiving.. Your eyes and brain are extremely forgiving so look thru the windows and your let your brain fill in.
Depth perception is quite limited when looking inside. Get some pictures of clocks, pictures, calendars, etc reduce them to size and glue them on the wall. They become the real thing..
Floor coverings... same thing. Rugs, carpet, tile, you name it. Reduce, print, cut out, they are real. Your brain tells you so.
For larger buildings, find scenes on the internet, reduce them down, glue them on, instantly you have a complete background. We have furnished Andre’s Woolworths with some people and things in the front and three backgrounds. It looks like a large store.
Miller Engineering makes fluorescent lights that look great in a department store incidentally.
Don’t stop but keep it simple. By about the third building it gets really fun.

Bill, you give good advice and you are so right about the difference between your eyes and a camera. Paula is right, the camera makes any small flaw painfully obvious.

Based on my own experience, this is undoubtedly correct. But I still go on putting minuscule details in because it’s a hobby in itself.

Adding interior scene is an important part of my buildings as well as lighting. Its what I enjoy looking at especially when the lights are off and only the layout and train lights light up the darkness.
