Sounds great! Do keep us posted on your inventions with the stuff! I've always been wanting to experiment with it myself.

Have a great day and ... well, weekend, while you're at it! :D :D :D

Thanks everyone. It's a fun project to work on, and as always, it's a learning experience and an experiment at the same time. :) The "swoopy" bits (thanks to Shaywen for that term!) are made out of posterboard. Basically, a thick strip (the red one in the picture of the backlit sign) is glued...

Very cool! They sure look like they are enjoying it, too! They got your enthusiasm for scratch-building, too? :)

A small update... Progress is kind of slow-going, but I'm glad to have picked it back up again! I've finished the swoopy roof bit around the front of the building. Next on the to-do list is finish the stripes around the roofline and then add doors and windows. Then it's on to the interior.

I'm posting this for another gauge member 'Olderscout' (with his permission, of course!) who emailed me these pictures of a Wendy's he is currently building inspired by the thread I started months ago. He was having trouble with the attachments so I resized them below the limitations and am...

I was gonna guess painted sandpaper! That's how I do mine! I'll bet the AMI stuff gives you better control for making potholes and stuff! :)

Wow! Outstanding scenery! LOL about the cardboard... I wouldn't have noticed it if you would have kept it a secret! Hehehe. Looks great though, and Im sure that's easy to scenic over. :)

Ok, as promised, I did work a little bit on the Wendy's today. I wanted it to have a back-lit sign so I had to think up a way to do it as small as possible. Here's what I came up with: First I printed out the wendy's logo on some paper twice... one in full color, and another in black and...

Hey guys, yep... work on this has pretty much halted since I started my job. I've got nothing planned for tomorrow, so hopefully I can work on this a little to get the momentum going. (Usually that's all it takes to get going at full speed...) I use the fixative just as a means to "harden"...

While other commitments keep me from finishing my module on time, I will none-the-less be present! I've already got my trip booked and am really looking forward to this! I'll bring and engine and some passenger cars and also my chevron gas station.

Beauties! Every last one!

Happy Birthday, buddy! Here's to just as many more! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Happy Birthday, fellas! And for your present, how about a bottle of Anti-Bobo-Spray??

Great shots, buddy! Looks like you've got a good camera!

Are we back? :confused:

Congratulations, buddy! :thumb:

Hmmm, Crusty Girdlefanny... I think I'll pass ;)
