MOC - Rural (Farm) Supplies Store

Here is the next in the FINAL phase of design, and before you say it....yes the sticker is coming off !

I might do the roadhouse as the next final design to be posted.....must look into any additions on it tomorrow.

Is the store before a hurricane? It looks like the store's been looted!

Once again nice clean build - and I do like the sticker work.

My only serious comment is that it does look a bit empty - shelves and the back lot, the stuff you do have in there is very nicely done, but when I go to hardware stores I picture huge isles of packed shelves. You might want to add more things to 'sell' and maybe some potted plants/trees or something to sell?

Thanks 'SI-mocs', well I'm still trying to find the missing stock items I have for it, the building is final though, but items will always be made for it....ever changing. Besides I have visited these stores, pretty close on some of the stock levels !

Landmarks don't sell plants, but bulk seed they do and the land to grow the plants in though !

You have one of those yellow LEGO banners! How did you score that, I've been trying so hard to get hold of one. (Sorry it's a bit off topic)

Lucky, I guess.....a retailer had a spare and asked if I would like it......I didn't have the heart to say no !

I like the rack you built for the hammers and stuff. Keep us up to date on what other goodies you add.

Thank you, I have the knack of designing shop fittings....it's fun.

I must remember to fill it with more stock.

It reminds me of the Bomgaars Store in West Point.

Spot on, I wonder what similar farmers chain stores are in each country of our members ?

Thanks for the comment 'efullner' !

Quick edit - oops those stores stock a little too much, more like this combined with a Mitre 10, Target and Super Cheap Auto.....I forgot it's in the U.S.A., Oz retailing has a long way to go !
