Thanks!
The Drive-Thru is finished. Now I can get to work on the base.

That is great work, I never thought of using a bead blaster for that.
You mentioned that you used Folk-art Craft paint for airbrushing, what do you thin it with for your airbrush?

 

[DaveInTheHat]

To thin Folk-Art Craft Paint I use blue windshield washer fluid. Make sure you wear a respirator. Windshield washer fluid had anti-freeze in it.

 

[CNR Glen]

Thanks I'll have to try that

The widows and door are all painted. Now I'm ready to start putting things together.

Dave, can you share more on how you made these window frames? Especially the round porthole style window in the top left for above the entrance.

 

[DaveInTheHat]

The windows and doors are from Tichy.

I had a lot going on lately and haven't had a lot of time at my bench. I got the base finished. Next thing is to get the building in place and start the landscaping.

 

[DaveInTheHat]

The building is now attached to the base.

I made the sign boxes.

 

[DaveInTheHat]

A little more progress.

 

[DaveInTheHat]

Lights for the front.

Parking lot lights.

[CNR Glen]

Quite remarkable.

I put a slideshow on YouTube of the entire build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_nXdkbCvCY&feature=plcp

 

[CNR Glen]

Very nice. I like how the color scheme and the details tie everything together.
Could you tell me where you got the figure of the young lady in the white dress?

 

[DaveInTheHat]

She's a Model Power figure from the set called "City Park People". I repainted her.

 

[NWP Dave]

Nice! I model 100 years earlier, but your modeling is impressive.
