Roadside Delights FSM Kit #270 Diorama

[deemery]

Nice color on the concrete!  Are you going to weather it further, or keep it looking like it's relatively new?

Hi Dave:

Thanks. It's painted, black A&I & Dry-Brushed with Gray. I'm not going to weather it further.

Hi Vilius:

You said you couldn't wait to see the diner as it is your favorite part of the kit. Threw this one together for you last night. Just kidding I built this by copying the parts from my kit many years ago. It was on my RR. I will be making some changes to the kit version Mostly the signs. They will be a surprise.

Been away golfing for a week and Karl puts together another great kit , I don't know what I should wish for , your time amount or your talent , I could do with both.

Karl,
The garage build looks great. Can't wait until the diner is done as I am getting hungry and need some good food.

Hi Tom:

Thanks for the compliment. I've decided to use the diner in the photos that I built years ago to save some time as I have 3 other FSM kits to build for my frined Jon. I also have a news stand that I built at the same time as the diner and will be using that also. The Signs have been changed on both Itmes. It will be Bubba's Diner & The Daily Planet News Stand. Photos soon.

Hi Guys:

here's a few progress shots of Roadside Delights. I used my diner and news stand I build years ago. I changed the signs on both of them and added the Truckers Welcome Sign which was made for a diner I scratch built years ago. Also A Bubba's but different signs. It now resides on Howard Zane's RR. It can be seen under my scratch built buildings.
Here's a few photos.

Karl,

I like it but this annoying little real life thing called work is preventing me from spending much time on the forum.

That looks great Karl!

Now I want to pull this one out of the closet and build it.  The problem is I have far to many of those "I want to build this one next" type kits in the closet.     That's where having friends like Tom (ACL1504) and John (Cuse) comes in handy.  They sometimes make the "what am I going to build next decision" much easier.

At least you don't have room for skeletons in your closet.......
