LOL!! Right!!! Sorry…I’m an automotive guy in the real world too. 
A bit more progress on this one as of today. I’ll be working on the big display shelf that will be covering that big blank spot on the right-hand side of the back wall next.

A little more progress this morning with getting the counter built up. Still have to put the wood grain decal on the front of the counter and install the clear plastic over the front of the display rack but you get the over all gist here.

Still plugging away on this one. I’m really trying to step up my game as far as getting this thing done and off of my bench. Want to get back to the Ta-152 full time so I can get that one done.
Got the front of the counter finished, display rack built (after repositioning the shelf because it was too low on one side) and getting packages put together for display on the shelves.

It’s not going to show just a whole lot but I’ve been stocking this thing up with all of the little boxes and goodies that come in the kit. Quite time consuming really.
There are some things that I’m just not going to put in here as 1.) there will be stuff like…everywhere…too much. and 2.) I am NOT going to make cupcake holders and cupcakes from flat paper that I have to make round. Just aint gonna do it.
Progress…

You’ll have to make a little sign that says “sorry, sold out of cupcakes until tomorrow” or something.
I almost hate to ask this, but… are the little images/posters on the front of the counter upside down?

So it wasn’t just me. I was wondering the same thing.

Yup. I should’ve caught that and normally I do. I’m gonna see what I can do about coming up with something else. There ain’t no WAY that stuff is coming off without making a total disaster out of it. Thank you guys for catching that. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. 
Worst case scenario what you could do is either take a photo or scan it in a make decals out of the item images and put them on some plasticard squares to give them an added 3D effect

Oh man, you gotta laugh. After the allotted amount of swearing. 
I’m sure you’ll come up with a clever solution. Or, just not worry about it and go on with the build. Maybe the teenage cashier the proprietor tasked with hanging the posters was thinking about Pokémon or something. Idk what kids think about these days

Well, there’s a table that goes in front of it.
