Vending Carts
« on: February 23, 2012, 16:25:34 »
We were talking in another topic about how there are now two different ice cream carts, so I wanted to convert one of mine to a pizza cart. This isn't highly customized or anything, but thought I'd share what i came up with. I haven't removed the stickers, because I think I will end up with this cart selling ice cream, and the new pink one will sell pizza, and have custom stickers on the cart. Here is the pizza chef with his cart, also selling soft pretzels:






And while I was at it, I thought I would show the dressed hamburger and hot dog over here at the hot dog and sandwich cart:


Now I just need a place to sell my cotton candy:


I will update this thread as I make further adjustments to these.

those look awesome! did you make the hamburger and hot dog yourself?

i have decided those mystery things in the white "bag" are peanuts...not popcorn! ha! the color is totally wrong for popcorn! doughnut holes, maybe! i will NOT accept them as popcorn.  :hissyfit:

i wonder if PM has an official name for that mystery substance!

your carts look yummy!  :love:

Those are great. I think the hotdog cart would be the better starting point for cotton candy. If you take the section towards the seat and box it in with a clear box it might look about right.

I'm thinking of re-painting my other Christmas market stand to sell cotton candy... I can take actual cotton balls and dye them pale pink and blue, make little clear bags, and have bags hanging up for sale, plus of course the stuff on sticks. Or like you said the hot dog cart might be good, create a clear plastic box, with a big bowl... I'll need to look for another hot dog cart, though!

Btw, I went to TRU and bought the new ice cream cart, plus some useful stickers from Michael's. So updates coming soon!

Ok, updates as promised. First, I have added some things to the ice cream cart, and combined some elements from the new one with the old one.


An overview


Advertising stickers added to the umbrella


Stack of cones from the other ice cream cart, plus an added sticker


And the best part.... now selling six flavors of ice cream!

And now the pizza cart, made from the new 5962 ice cream cart.


An overview, with the pizza chef F?gure as the vendor


A view of what he's got for sale


I cut a big pizza sticker in half and then added the lettering on top of it.


And another added sticker.


Now I just need to find a place for this guy to sell his cotton candy!
