An N scale popcorn wagon? Do-able?

For you 3D printer types out there, is this possible in N scale?



Doesn't really have to be that specific one, just in the ballpark. Let me know where to send my money when you get it sorted out :D

Thanks,
-Mark

@Mark W  printed out a stage-coach, so a popcorn wagon should be doable.

Saw up some white XPS foam (from the craft store) with a fine tooth saw and save the sawdust.  This is usually easy, because it has a static charge and sticks to everything.  Mix a couple drops of "cream" color paint in a solution of alcohol and water and lightly butter.  You can forgo salt in N scale, since grains would be smaller than the visual minimum .0007 inches.  And don't forget the red striped boxes and/or cups and tubs.

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

Looks like a DKS project to actually have the popcorn bucket stirrer rotating and producing something.

The only thing I'll say is material, material, material.   Something other than FUD, it's just so ridiculously fragile.

The masterpiece would be to provide a whiff of the smell of buttered popcorn.

It looks like 2/3rds of a Peanut Wagon.

It was kind of an odd road that got me to this particular want. Y'see, back in the 30s' and 40's the town that I'm modeling used to show free open air movies in the lot that I'm currently using for a classic car show -



I actually considered modeling an outdoor movie scene there, but I could never come up with an adequate rationalization for why people would be sitting there watching a movie when it wasn't nighttime. Hence, the car show "Plan B" (said car show also helps me to explain why I have so many vintage cars cruising around my town). But now I'm thinking that a popcorn wagon would be both a nice nod to those old movie days as well as enhancing the car show scene.

Mark .. On Thinkiverse there is a Caliope car ..  It's not a popcorn Car, but it might work?  We could probably try that ..
