Out of a slump on the ACT RR

[fifer]

I finally got moving and out of my slump of no layout work.
This is what I finished this weekend and will be placed on my center loop on the old NM Hwy 85 outside Kachina.

Thanks for all of you guys inspiration!

Sweet...that arrow reminds me of the one in front of Frontier Town in Ocean City, Md.:thumb:

Nice! Reminds me of some vacations I've taken through the midwest. VERY well done, I particularly like the arrow.

 

[fifer]

Thanks you guys . It was pretty easy as we have one like this outside town here., so I kinda stole the idea. I'll try to post some pictures after I get it mounted on the layout.

I finally got the tourist trap in place.

Let me know what you think. I am not that happy with it but don't know what it needs.

Looks pretty cool! :thumb:

As for what's missing...the Mrs. and I think it needs some trees or landscaping.

 

[Herc Driver]

That looks great...but you think something's missing???

Here's some suggestions...maybe an old telephone pole in front of the store to stop cars from pulling up too close, or outdoor signs or a bill board advertising the place. How about a telephone booth in the parking lot off to one side? Dogs...needs dogs running around.

I love the false fronts on the side. They're so kitschy...
And that's the second-biggest arrow I've ever seen.

 

[Papa Bear]

I think it looks pretty good, Mike. You might add some more cars and people, maybe a tepee or wooden Indian out front.

 

[Ralph]

If you are still feeling like it needs something I'm with Herc about adding more signs...perhaps some advertising items for sale or the wonders of some weird attraction?
