These are great. I imagine it took some length of time to construct them to this standard.

I love to re-purpose things when I can. Here is a scratch built hot dog stand. Sal's Italian Hot Dogs! Named after my Father-in-law who loves them. The base of the trailer is repurposed from a John Deere tractor set my son had as a youngster. The 4 walls are plastruct building material The Propane tanks are from an old model spru and some heat shrink tube The Hot Dogs are wire insulation and heat shrink tube. The Coke cups and straws are model spru and wire The vent on top is a plastic nut from a toilet repair kit (pre-use) The garbage can is an automobile tire valve stem cap The counter is actually a sign from a fence kit. It says Cemetary on the bottom The decals were made on my printer off of pics I found on the internet The red and white checker on the bottom is from a model airplane kit The awning is an old dress shirt Lastly, I do not have too many nice people for the layout. It seemed like the Police Man was the perfect figure for this scene with the mustard spill. It is not meant to be disrespectful to Police.        |

I once "re-purposed" an entire Menards Building, namely the Oak Point Nuclear Power Plant, as an Alien Invasion meltdown scene. The grandkids are too young to understand this; their parents just roll their eyes. Grandma puts up with it very nobly, like everyone else in the family - but it mostly lives in a storage cabinet as I can't remember my own remote power/control set-up!
And yes, I made a decal for this (Homer Simpson, who's in charge of the plant but not shown in the video) out of an internet image:

Outstanding work, guys, whether it’s scratch-building, repurposing, adapting or kit-bashing you each did great! 👍
