After finishing how the lighting was going to work I moved on to finishing the interior detail. The kit included 4 rows of pachinko machines and 8 rows of seats. These were removable from the base but were made of a type of plastic that did not take paint very well so I had to spray them with an adhersion promoter before painting. I had a bag of background quality figures and about half the seats got occupants after their legs were cut off.
The kit included stickers for pachinko machines and other interior surfaces that were part of the base. A few more standing figures were also added.
The roof normally sits loosely over the original battery compartment. To hold this roof on but have it still be removable, I glued a small magnet to a scrap of .030 styrene sheet and then taped that over the walls of the battery compartment.
Then a scrap of steel starping was glued to the inside of the roof with E-6000 adhesive.
The entire inside and outside of the building got painted. The building itself was already glued together so I just had to paint it carefully by hand. The outside of the building also got a bit of light weathering using detail wash with the roof section getting a little heavier treatment.
The railings that came with the kit were painted and installed on the sidewalk section and a few more figures were placed outside the building.
