Greg: my first thought was “that’s a strange looking mueseum, all empty cabinets”
I just finished a wood framed, glass display case for the drug store interior: . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
. . . . . . . . . 
. . . . . . . The frame was made of styrene. The glass is polycarbonate, and was installed after the frame was painted. I used artist’s gloss medium to glue the polycarbonate into the frame. The middle shelf was put in last. . . . . . . . . . . . The cabinet was “distressed” to look old and a bit worn. The weathering looks harsher in the photos than in real life. I may try to tone it down later. . . . . . . . . . . I have a couple photos of the cabinet under construction, beginning here: . . . . . . . . http://www.raydunakin.com/Site/IRR_Dos_Manos.html#96 . . . . . . . . I’m still working on the merchandise to stock the shelves. . . . . . .
Lately I’ve been busy making merchandise to stock the shelves of the drug store. I’ve made about 150 bottles so far. These were turned by hand using a power drill as a crude lathe. I use a Dremel with a cutting disk to shape them as they turn, then smooth them with steel wool and finally polish them with a bit of toothpaste on a rag. Some of the bottles are then painted with transparent colors. Then they’re labeled using decals I printed out, from scaled down photos of vintage medicine labels. After decalling, the bottles are sprayed with glossy Krylon clear. Here’s a few of the bottles. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
. . . . . . . . . . . . I’m also making small boxes for the shelves. These a cut from various sizes of styrene rod. Most are glued together, then painted. Labels are printed out on self-adhesive vinyl. . . . . . . . . Here’s a test shot of the shelves in place, with some of the bottles and boxes installed. I still have many more to go, plus lots of other little details: . . . . . . . .

Ray:
It seems to me that you suffer from E.T.M.A.T.D. syndrome (Entirely Too Much Attention To Detail). [;)] I was expecting some very nice looking product, but nothing this realistic. [tup] The bottles are obviously made from plastic tube or rod, (what kind and where did you find it?) Can we expect a mutli-issue lesson on how to build an “antique Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Box?” [bow][bow]
The bottles were made from 1/8" diameter acrylic rod, plus a few larger bottles made from 1/4" rod. I got it at a local plastics supplier (Ridout Plastics).
I wasn’t going to show this detail until I had more of the store finished, but I couldn’t wait. 
Here’s a test shot of a window display in the drugstore: . . . . . . . . . . .

Hmm… thanks Ray! But my name is spelled wrong. [:O]
Of course my cousins spell it differently so what the heck!
The weathering you give the frames is so realistic, you would swear it’s a real picture!

Greg
Doh! Oh well it’s an easy fix.
Hey Greg, one letter off isn’t bad my wife spell’s my last name Weidenbacher.
