Resort areas will most often have eating and drinking establishments so I wanted to include something like that on the module. Places that serve or sell sake will sometimes have a large ball of dried cedar needles hanging above the door. Here is a photo I found on the Internet of such a place.
TomyTec kit number 89 has a building like this. I am using only one building from this kit, the one that has the ball of cedar needles hanging over the door.
No. 89 is part of a mulit-kit diorama offered by TomyTec to represent a entire Sake brewery and store complex as shown here.
This building kit has all pre-painted parts with some extra details parts and goes together quite easily. I decided to use the base that came with this kit even though it was quite thick. So I made a pit from styrene that the base for this building will fit snugly into. For now I don't have any plans to attach the building to the module and will remove it for transport. I put the hole in the base in case I want to light the inside later.
Here is the structure after the surrounding area is blended in with scenic materials. It's across the road from the station and set sideways. This is because it I plan to use this module with or without a sky board and I wanted the front of the shop to be visible either way.
Here is a lower angled view of this structure. There are lots of details that can be added to this scene later but for now I'll move on as I am trying to complete all the basic scenery on this module for the show coming up in less than two weeks.
