Hi Ken:

Looks good so far just needs a little detail. Maybe a nice roof sign. I'll see what I can find. something seafoody.

Made some progress on the dio for the Lobster Shack . I don't think I like the sign on the roof and I think it may need some signage on the wall overlooking the pier.
And I need to weather the O rings I'm using for tires on the pier I think thy look like inner tubes right now or use some tire castings I was cheaping out on that one

Try some rtv rubber mold  for tires and life rings. Once i make the mold I use  the red bondo for auto body and add resin to it . That make it flow better.  Supper cheap for all kinds of casts. Hope it helps.

Ken

Regarding the tires. Find some tires from matchbox or hot wheels or most anything that scales out well and grey them out and hang them where it makes sense.  Tires on the small side will solve the need for appearance but not steal the scene.

See ya
