Tiki Bar

I got this little building at Dollar Tree a while back.  
I want to use it for some 1/72nd scale figures but it is taller than I would like.  So I used my belt sanders to buzz the base down about 3mm.  I then used my Dremel too to buzz out some of the bottles because they are too large.
Original versus the modified version.  Still buzzing out the inside.
These are the three tools I am using to cut out the inside of the tiki hut.
The big X-Acto knife is helpful for scraping off some of the excess and smoothing out the line.
Dremel tool, probably 20+ years old.  It's my new one, the other one is much older and I still use them both.
Bottles and sign cut out now.
How it looks so far.  Obviously it needs paint and maybe some more work.
