This time I have scratch built appliances ect... for the new Restaurant/ Cafe called Folgers. (Note: this idea is from my scratch built IHOP from the Z scale layout and the Carl's JR N-scale but this is from a Bachmann kit. This is what i dig to do, from the Z & N Trains and the 1/32 slots and the interiors of my RC Cockpits using computer parts, jewelry, beads and anything that looks like, well, what looks like what i think it should be. Two exhaust hood fans, grill with deep fryer, dishwasher, double stacked wall oven, sink and Ice Box and some other handy and useful items for the kitchen. I'll post more close up shots of the finished pieces later with the parts i had used........................................ The Ol' Lap Top still has a purpose if not even more meaningful... Bar stools & chairs K'NEX pieces and the infamous Bobby Pin, i should have shown the back side of the chair, drilled at an angle down and UHU'd glued the Bobby Pin in place, First i had to bend to upright the back of the chair before gluing. Make Note: Re****erator seems to come up as a bad word for some reason thus the spelling of "ICE BOX"

Dunlop Tower... One sprayer tube/ clear straw tipped, one 5mm LED bulb and things start to light up.

Exterior shots... need to plant a Fire Hydrant the right side. see the garbage can on the right under the stair well? (have quite a few around the track) they are from a syringe plunger well the the layout is getting dismantled and gearing up for the Hollow Core Door Top Dream. I've been eyeing the Pre-Routed Track Layouts https://www.maxtraxracing.com/ https://viperscaleracing.com/product/4x12-dennys-layout-4-lane/ and there are quite a few others.

Did so many neat things, such like the water coolers, pen gut piece on the ground floor and 2nd floor has the spoke nipple piece, & once again some various beads and traumatized lap top computer parts have made most excellent well let's just say computer, printer and some other neat office supplies. still various things to do but done for now, various stacks of books painted white edges, brown marker book covers all thanks to Diamond Wooden matches (exterior day photos will be later on). 1st Floor:

(Top) 3rd floor is done. working down with furnishings and peeps. I did do a few scratch build pieces, like the waste can and foot pedal lift, black rainbow tape for the big screen (with the left over map sticker from an RC build sticker sheet) misc. beads and the globe stand, lil' books from thin card stock of this kit glued and stacked and water cooler a capacitor and two blue beads stack on top of each other, must keep the work staff hydrated. SPARCO TV , first I thought Gulf TV, then Martini TV, and then found this sticker from the Tamiya XV-01 Lancia Delta sticker sheet.

How about building that Truck Train that RE-Bugged posted? scaled down size probably wrap around the house, could haul many snacks and beers HA! -

There should never be Cattywompas here.............. at all........................... -
The whole key to this hobby, unless you can make or fab the parts yourself, the only silver lining is it becomes a shelf queen or used for parts for another.

The USS Enterprise of racing: 3rd (Top) floor: Official use only!............................ Interior walls: Chrome pinstipe tape over Black rainbow hologram tape (Amazing) used this stuff for my RC Yacht. Flooring Vinyl Wrap CF and a piece of checkered cardboard from another time and place.

2nd floor........... Lingerie, handkerchiefs, and slot car accessories ...... flooring material (i believe i also used it in in one or two of my RC builds) Craftsman camping chair duffle bag holder Stickers? accumulation of many years of collecting and left overs and the ones that come with these kits are just printed paper you glue in place.

Friday who says? well if it is really, then i guess i'm here right now. If time could stand still for just a moment so the weeds can't grow i'd be the happiest human being on planet earth

RC is on hold, don't ask i'm dysfunctional ............. it's like work, i get to do a lot of different trades, i have to be in the mix or i'll get stagnate. anyways you know it's a great world out there, i just purchased brand new office furniture for this darn thing............................... Scratch build is fun but very time consuming, and i have quite a bit on here, there's always something else to do. i am going to build which i'll just call it the USS Enterprise flight control deck (remember my lit dash boards on the AMG Iron Panther & Fat Fox Gulf) well that popped in my head and i'm going to do a so called lighted up flight control desk, why? because it'll be neat with all the led micro bulb colors lit with the peeps behind the scenes. anyways Thanx for dropping by.

Do tires last long if wrapped in plastic (or in a box)?
ACCEL replied to Juggular's topic in General discussions
I read somewhere years ago Dawn soap (just a couple drops in a zip lock bag) and like what was mentioned above in a cool dark area. -
I have been collecting used hollow core doors and will butt join them (dowels) and add FRP or 1/4" plywood to overlap and glue them together, it'll be lighter weight that way. My 1/32 layout is 1/2" plywd and 2x4's & Sika-Flexed it must weigh 400lbs that's 181.437 to you. I knew this would happen, simple beginnings for means more later. Kinda wished i did a log for all my other layouts, at the time i was way too involved, i can never wait to get to a new scene, just like playing video games, "What is truly around the corner?" Thank you RB, anyways so many more kits for RC to finish and to start, I have come to the conclusion i am in it for the hunt, nothing else explains it.

These pics are from the 1st level........................................................................................................................... flooring is from Mijo Exclusive 1/64 diorama figure sets packaging i have been acquiring.
