Some time ago someone posted the photos of a tin building they saw on eBay. They captured the photos and posted them and I really liked it. This is my attempt to translate that into a cardboard building.
I have a messy table where I laid out the design and utilized a base of a small house I had to get approximate dimensions as none were posted. Notice the holes in the top of the roof and one to the side. The little metal pieces to the side of the window were probably for toy menus etc. in the original.
I tried to replicate the opening door from the original which was a trick!

These show the progression from chipboard state through the primer to the completed building.

The first picture shows the door ajar with the latch opened - the bent paperclip strikes again!
Then a couple of pictures with a light in it. I put the light hole close to the left hand side and had to enlarge it from the first photo as it was too small to accommodate a C7 bulb. The reason is if I put it in the center the bulb would be a bit too obvious. Well that's it for the White Rhino!

Hi Tom, you beat me to this! I have been looking at the original pictures for a while trying to come up with a design for an art deco house using the circular part as the main feature....
Your HB stand is great! What a wonderful interpretation of the original...

I have the original that I won the second time it appeared on ebay auction. No on ever bid on it. The actual piece is tiny. Unfortunately I have just gone through a difficult relocation and it is packed away somewhere in those 864 boxes in my garage. I hope to see it again someday.

BUT, this interpretation is incredible. I suspect the original was meant to be a train ticket office but the burger stand is yummy.

Thanks for sharing pics.
