One down , one to go .......

[cheyenne]

This is going to be a post apocalyptic type of build , ......... sort of .

There will be survivors hold up in a diner/truck stop [ full building with interior ] , very aged and weathered but not ancient aged and weathered . Ok lets call it a good few years neglected .
So far I'll have a MiniArt civilian dozer , a MiniArt G506 tow truck , the one with the dual front wheels , 20 and 40 foot Trumpeter storage containers , the Roden 1947 Greyhound Silversides bus , maybe a gas station ? or a bus depot ? ................. we'll see as the build progresses .

Some scratch items for inside the diner/truck stop .
Very early stages , so please bear with me .

Basic Diner/truck stop layout .

Oh , ....... Steve Ski and Erwin are the only ones who know who the antagonists are , so if they spill the pintos , don't count on ever seeing them again .........

I won't say anything... (how did you plan to cease my existence, in case I would anyway? Being a few thousand KM apart?) Still love the woodwork and the way you represent the marble counter top!

[cheyenne]

It would be worth the plane fare , ............ love ya Erwin ................

[handiabled]

Looks good enough to order a Jack and a beer back inside it... Bookmarked!

[kyledehart5]

That’s brilliant!! Vending machine is already giving me some fallout vibes.

[Tobi]

Now that's some serious pro modeling going on here. Kudos to you Glenn!

[mrversatile]

Wow, I am speechless. Definitely something to aspire to.

[lyle]

Watching you guys build these and spin the tales surrounding them is a blast.

I cannot confirm, nor deny such information, nor would I be at liberty to discuss such information, if such information did in fact exist, Sir. Ha, gotta get past the claymores first

[keavdog]

Great scratch work! Is that one of the Masterbox figures I see there? They have a whole collection of post-apocalyptic figures. Maybe add one of those Meng technicals
Following along.

[cheyenne]

Keavdog , thanks man !!!
The rest of youze guys , found the like icon , so I thanked all the previous comments , day late , dollar short .
That's a resin Evolution Miniatures fig. The chick is a SOL fig and a tad under scale as opposed to the Evolution guy but should go unnoticed as far as male female stature goes , that and placement away from each other .
Still need to weather the walls ,floor etc , I did weather the Great White mural and the long shades over the front windows .
I listed all the vehicles I'll be using in the first post .

Update time , I live on the Atlantic , Joisey Shore , no not the gross tourist traps , on the bay across from Long Beach Island . Sooooooo that's gonna be the setting .

I engineered the diner so the walls can be slid up and out for future photo purposes . The end walls will be glued to the base .

[Golikell]

Fantastic progress you made dude! The size difference is no issue at all! Both my wife and daughter are more than 10" shorter than I am!

[406 Silverado]

Ummmmm......yeah. You..........have...........definitely .................got my attention.


Bookmarked and I'll be coming back to this one later on today once I have a proper response thought up. 

[Leon]

WOW.... The scratch building and amount of detail going into this is amazing!

[cheyenne]

Ok , thanks guys !!!
I'm going to do something that Erwin and BroSki [ Steve ] will bust my chops over , forever .
I'm worse than a twelve year old Jr. high school girl , ..... I can't keep a secret .
These are going to be the antagonists in the dio .
I think I like how the build has progressed so far so here they are .
They will be out in the parking lot with the vehicles and such .
I was a little worried about the Rex'es quality when I bought them cuz they were prepainted .
Turns out I don't have to do a dang thing to them , they're beaautiful !!!!
Hence the dio title " One Down One to Go " .

[TOWGunner]

Did not see that coming!!!!  Just got even more interesting.

[TJ]

Holy....this is so over the top. And then he adds T-Rex.

[Leon]

Ditto what TJ said! This just keeps getting better and better.

[cheyenne]

What I just noticed and find extremely ironic is that Silverado posted a gif/meme of Dr. Grant from Jurassic Park , ............... before the T Rex reveal , now that was cool !!!!

That is of course , unless , he was drinking in a watering hole somewhere with Matt , BroSki , and Erwin , who knew about the T Rex'es long ago ..................... just kidding , Matt , BroSki , and Erwin , long ago in a modeling site far , far away became some of my closest modeling friends and I am proud to be one of the BBQ Nerds !!!!!

[handiabled]

What a scratch building masterclass you are putting on here!

[Golikell]

Hey, it is your show here, so why would we spoil it by telling your plans. And if you can't wait to do an early reveal, that is solely your own choice....

[deafpanzer]

WOW! Those Rexs look great especially its details and its skin texture and they came already painted?!? I will definitely follow your work here!

[kyledehart5]

Somehow I’ve missed the T. rex update!! Easy to do here though. lol!! Fantastic work indeed.

[Tojo72]

Wow that's great,so many little details bring it to life.

[jmarc]

WOW,WOW,WOW.. That is quite something so far .. keep it up ,I'll be around !
