One of the first wooden kits I have built in HO scale is the Picorelli’s Ice Cream Parlor, made by JL Innovative Design.
Despite not being a plastic kit, which I usually do, it was pretty easy to build. I used the color scheme pictured on the box, as it made for a quite distinctive building.
A nice detail about the kit was the many sign included, which really helps bringing the building to life.
As I do not have a layout, I mounted the building on a piece of 10 mm foamcard with tiles from Walthers sidewalk kit. The nice fence was also included in the kit along with los of nice details, including a cargo motorcycle for selling ice cream.
I added some interior to the very open space inside as well as some figures to breathe some life into it, and already it works great for images! A very nice kit in total, that I give my warmest recommendation. Now if they would only make it in O scale… 🙂
