DaveN: Just wanted to let you know that I posted a link to your post with the two pics above on the official In-N-Out Burger Facebook page (With the ulterior motive to get people excited about model railroads, heheh)...it got a lot of "Likes" and positive comments today! If Trainboard gave out awards for modeling and had a "Scratchbuilt Structure Of The Year" category, I'd TOTALLY nominate your In-N-Out!
Naw, I'd have to nominate the grain elevator in the background as structure of the year - unless that qualifies as last year's work. Another eye-catching scene in a town that is rapidly becoming a showcase. By the way Dave, how did you make the umbrellas? -Gary P.S. That sign is especially eye-catching: you can see it clear from Tehachapi.
The magnificent model sure deserves it foreground location. Plus a perfect location for train watching for the patrons. I can see everyone going out for burgers tonight to celebrate! I know I am.
Thanks everyone. Heh heh - very cool. The only In-n-Out east of the Mississippi Gary - The mill still isn't done yet ! I still need to paint it, it's still in primer. Next on my list....I've been waiting for an good day weatherwise where I have enough time to knock it all out. The umbrellas are Preiser, they came in a pack with a bunch of chairs, park benches, and tables, some neat stuff.
If you're not busy, could you just build my layout? Amazing work. The interior detail is just jaw-dropping. Much better than Cats, I would see it again and again...
I would love to see the finished product.. I also have a question for you, Dave. Would you consider building one for an HO scale? For purchase of course.
Bonnie - You flatter me . Unfortunately, I have so many projects in the hopper on my own layout that I'm not in a position to be able to do outside work.
Dang, I wish I had your ability to say "NO". That reminds me, I better see if I can get a few things finished for my friends so I can do some stuff for Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee........... Awesome work there Dave.:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:
Dave, I'm sure you are tired of the compliments, but damn is your In-n-Out build beyond amazing. I have been working on one myself when I came upon the images of yours. One question, if you don't mind, how did you create the 3-d signage? I was planning on printing out logos from the internet and making decals.
