Paper Newsstand Kits

Hi, All.
This kit is available on line. It is printed paper with nice details. I added racks from pieces of Archistories fence and made bundles of newspapers for them. A goggle of vintage newsstand photos shows an overlooked and easily modeled urban artifact. I cut small scraps and glued them around based vintage photos. The garbage cans are 1/8" shrink tubing cut to z scale. It would be nice to see a laser cut version of one. Jim

 

more good stuff!

 

Sweet!!

Hi, Bremner.
What might work for you in N-scale is an open bus shelter-type structure converted to a newsstand. If one is available in Z that is what I will do. There are many amazing pictures of actual newsstands, their shapes and sizes vary. I remember them being in many large office building lobbies. As you can see from the photos: anything goes when detailing them. Jim

 

I have these bus stop building comes with a bench in my 3D print shop at shapeways! in Z scale.

Hi, Walt
These would make great newsstands. Every station and depot should have one. Jim

 

Here they are outside the elevated at Dover Street station in Boston...
