    Will you be doing the interior?

    Very nice. An unusual roof structure, too.

    Yesterday I received a Spectrum K4 in the mail. It needs some work but here's how it sits at the moment.

    Still thinking about a new bridge, like this one:

    Thanks for the kind reply.

    Here is the way all started:
    real rocks and siliconic rubber!

    For information, the rule is 20 cm (about 13 inches) long, so you can see how "detailed" the real rocks are!

    I showed the lighting test of this structure a few weeks ago. Well now, it's one or two waitresses short of being open for business.

    ** The scratch built Jukebox in the corner has an LED hidden under it and will light up.

    Finally, a close up.

    As mentioned, I still need to come up with a waitress or two and I need to complete the signage for the building. One final challenge is plates and cups for the tables....

    I can almost taste the greasy burgers, and tall, thick milkshakes! Very nice job! What scale is she?

    It's HO, not my normal scale of choice but I am helping an older gentleman with a fairly large layout he is building. It is giving me plenty of practice before I get deeper into building my own layout.

    You sure did a nice job. Methinks plates could be cut out with a hole-puncher....

    Wow. Don't forget the roaches :). Plates could probably be made with some styrene and a small leather punch.

    Slice off some pieces of styrene rod to make coffee cups. A dab of brown paint on top gives the illusion of content. Lucite or fiber optic rod can be made into water glasses.

    Cool IHOP

    Just found your pics of the in process IHOP. How did it turn out. Looked like a great start. Loved the brick over the white form to get that look. I would have just tried with paint. Nice. I'm feeling inspired.
