I agree! Well done...

That's three yesses to the new barriers.

The thing I love about recent historic builds is the catalogue of things once familiar that have now disappeared. Many brands survive but some no longer do. Nice bit of nostalgia. The resurgance of Wimpy here and the fact that the glass looks a sulphurous yellow, neatly reflecting the culinary experience that awaits inside, is a case in point.

So many model streetscapes are bland. Understandably cos people want versatility and value for their dosh but this thread really is sublime with its lovingly crafted bits of specific detail.

Very nice work.
A bit clean still according to my memories.

I would point out the crash barriers probably should be inside the pillar line.

Fair few on EBay UK as of today …. be careful to check the scale on some of them mind.

This one might be worth a punt …..

My mate gave me a child’s plastic cop shop. It’s too small for that purpose in 28mm so …… what do you think it might be useful as with some bodge and shut and cut and some signage

HESH · « **Reply #397 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:06:45 PM »

I thought it might pass as a car wash?

HESH · « **Reply #398 on:** July 31, 2024, 06:08:32 PM »

Very little work just a big sponge added and signage …. Paint out the H off the Heli pad .

Inspired! Looks like a credible car wash to me.

Be careful showing signs that read Maximum Headroom lest you are besieged with requests for more iconic 1980s pop culture figures and I'm not sure if there's a good proxy for that one.

Took me a second or two ......then I remembered! 👍😬😬😬😬

CapnJim · « **Reply #401 on:** July 31, 2024, 11:19:43 PM »

That certainly works. It looks good to me!

Clean! Love the car wash!

Sunjester · « **Reply #403 on:** August 01, 2024, 07:01:12 AM »

That's brilliant as a car wash!

That Rose Royce tune has become this week's earworm as a result of this thread. Admittedly, it doesn't take much prompting for me to go full on Soul Train.
