Since I posted pics of my gift shop in the zoo diorama, I have made some modifications and improvements. The biggest improvement is that I made the walls higher, adding windows and transoms above the shelving units and doors. I also had to change the formerly curved window display and make it square, partially because I did not have a tall curved window, and also to accommodate the other big improvement... roofing sections. And I added some artwork to the gift shop, made out of stickers and displayed in the window. Hope you all like it!

My new invention to keep dust out of the shop. I will start another topic about this. ;D
-
Excellent custom project, bb! Very well stocked! You have fantastic detail in the entire display, well done :)9!
-
WOW!!! This is excellent Bonnie!! I love every little detail :love: So many items for one to get as a souvenir for visiting your zoo!!! What are those cremes over the binoculars and the cameras? and I see you made more painted fans :lens: Are the butterflies stickers?
-
Great!
And I love the idea to keep the dust off too..
-
Thanks everyone!
Panos, the creams are sunscreen. :lol: and yep, they're stickers I found at the dollar store. ;D
-
It is looking fantastic Bonnie :wow: :wow: :wow:
Each time I look I see more... :love: hadn't noticed the tiger masks last time, they are a great idea. :clap: and love the butterfly pictures :inlove:

What an amazing display of goods, Bonnie! :wow: :wow: :wow:
Like Elaine, I keep spotting more every time I look :lens:
I love the butterfly prints, and the hats display I also love :love: :love: :love:
Btw, it's nice to see that the shopkeeper put's her customers first :lol:
Damo :)

:lol: yeah, she looks quite absorbed in her magazine, doesn't she? :P that's my custom super geeky keeper. :lol:
Thanks for the nice comments! :)
-
love the sunscreen bottles! ;D
very pretty Bonnie! - does it have a front view?
-
great improvements bb!
I guess the animals for sale are stuffed... otherwise I'll call PETA right away! :lol: :lol:
-
:clap: :clap:'
I already liked in the zoo diorama and still like it now even better.
-
That's looking great! Where did you get the shelf unit the micro animals are on?
The front view is missing the usual massive Gift Shop sign. That's the only possible improvement I can think of.
-
Excellent updates to your zoo shop, Bonnie. :wave:
-
love it ! simply love it! :love:
-
love the sunscreen bottles! ;D
very pretty Bonnie! - does it have a front view?
Thanks Luis! The front side isn't much to see.... just a bare white wall... but I do have something in mind for it eventually. ;D
great improvements bb!

Thank you Gaston, yes, they are stuffed! :lol: No exotic pets for sale at the zoo! ;)

Thanks, Tim! I got that insert from Chris... I believe it was part of the police station. I'll have to ask him where it came from. It's really great, I think!
As for a sign.... I was thinking I might design a sign/mural for that long bare white wall that needs something.
Thank you for the nice comments, conniefrere, Gordon, and Ryan! :thanks:

Oh, I think I more than made up for it this evening. ;D
I just spent a long time helping him with a custom, and severely cut myself in the process.

ok you must be forgiven then ;D
-
Thanks, I will add it to my ever so long list.
Ouch, hope you heal up quickly.
-
Great shop, bb! :wow: :clap:
What sets did you build the structure out of?:eh?:
-
Um.... I'm not sure. :-[ :lol: I just sat down with a giant bin of system x parts and started building. Possible sets... the school, hospital extensions, pony ranch barn, the newest vacation home, numerous smaller sets like shops. I'm trying to remember where those roof pieces are from... maybe the school? Or perhaps the pony ranch. I'm really not sure!

Love it Bonnie - some great ideas!
