I’m nearing completion of an “S”-scale (1:64th scale) module, to be incorporated into a club layout, which includes, among other things a refueling facility {copied off a NYS&W prototype in Hackensack, NJ-just lettered for BN), row houses, commercial structures and light industry. Hidden among the other structures is a Motorcycle clubhouse (fashioned out of an old residence) and a biker/titty bar in the former row house adjacent to the clubhouse (which the bikers control). These two structures fit in perfectly with the “lived in” appearance of the half of the layout controlled by those of us who like to weather our equipment and structures and is not immediately apparent to those who are not looking- and hidden from anyone under 5ft (aka. minors).
While the guys in my club thought that these two structures were hilarious, they told me that I might not be able to set up this module with other clubs layouts when we create a combined layout due to “moral objections”…
Have any of you ever heard of such a thing on a model layout????
John P,
The bar, named 'HELLCATS' features a neon sign with the clubs name and a letter boards* proclaiming that the bar is holding an amateur topless jello wrestling competition that night!!!
*I created the signs by photographing a real sign, outside a real club and then printing the photo on overhead projector film-I then cut out the film and fitted it into the signs frame with a dim LED light behind it.
In the ally between HELLCATS and the New Sons of Liberty clubhouse, the club has a hose and tarps on which the participants can clean up. Two of the girls, who are still dripping with green jello but wearing bikini bottoms and club T-shirts**, are being hosed off by a member of the NSOL.
**These armature jello wrestlers were created by repainting girls from a beach scene and adding T-shirts made from modelers clay. In one case, one of the girls came with a large beach hat and I trimmed the brim off this, and added creases and a knot fashioned from zap-a-gap to give her a bandana.
On the side of the club itself, two signs on the club itself proclaim “GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS!” and that “Under 21 not admitted”.
Finally, like all establishments of this nature, the windows at HELLCATS have been painted over, concealing what is inside-which is really nothing because I didn’t detail the interior.
While these scenes are certainly suggestive, none of them directly show anything inappropriate.
