Post Apocalyptic Diner (Diner Finished P3, Signage P4)
« on: June 23, 2015, 07:56:09 PM »
As a small break from doing Star Wars stuff, I've been asked to build a diner based on Al Macs Diner in the US....







It's supposed to be for zombie games so its going to be boarded up as if someones holed up inside. Also I was given a certain size base for it to occupy for it won't be a perfect scale model. Still WIP......

Beautiful work. I live in awe of your skill.  :D

What size brick plasticard have you used for the exterior? I've been unsatisfied with the last couple I've tried but that looks spot on.

That's brilliant.  Will you be doing illuminated signage?  :D

Yip.....and I've used a sharp pencil just to draw some lines on it, to make it look more worn.

Beautiful work. I live in awe of your skill.  :D

Thanks Cypher!

It's 7mm stuff mate......

No lights will be harmed in the making of this building!

Thanks Mark!

 I've gotten a little bit further with this and I've also received a small care package from my client to use in dressing the base....a dumpster and a few trash cans.











I've also made him up a wee extra to go with this....



Thanks again guys!
