    And Ken, those are the people who need all the help they can get.
  • kebmokebmo
    isnt that the purpose of the adult book store?

    ....jus' sayin'
  • sdrees
    I guess it depends on what kind of help they need

    I'm with Keb. Besides, she may be a virgin, but that does not mean she is against the healing powers of sex with someone you love.

    Eric,

    Now all you need to complete the scene is about a dozen or more customers standing in line out the door!
    "Buy them by the sack"... I did my share of that back in the day. But in the Chicago area it was known as White Castle. Love those "SLIDERS". Extra pickle and extra sauce is a must.

    Maybe put a narrow counter along the window with the round stools under it so you can have customers sitting looking out of the window chomping away on the sliders and slugging down a coke. Also add a cash register on the counter and a family walking out of the door with a sack full of sliders.

    Later, Dave S. Tucson, AZ

    Anybody noticed the mirror behind the counter? You can see the reflection of the badass guy with the hat. And all the saltshakers... even the full ashtray...AMAZING
  • TomMich
    Great attention to detail!
  • adminadmin

  • Joel
    Great scene. Beautifully done.
  • EricMGEricMG
    The first photo I'm really pleased with. Love the difference in the diner's fluorescent light and poolroom's incandescent.

    A really good shot. Great scène btw...
  • EricMGEricMG
    And e-mail I wrote to Michael of Elgin Park fame in the spring of 2016 way before I knew I was going to build a model railroad:


    I had a very odd night of sleep. I half thought up and half dreamed Elgin Harbor, which is a decrepit coastal town. The part I entered and built in my mind was on a long pier over the ocean, the last building over the tide a poolroom, which served soft-shell crab sandwiches. Next a magazine, news, and tobacco store, then a slim lunchroom. I had to make the pool tables and draw all the newspapers for you. You built the rest. What a weird night!
  • Robert.GRobert.G
    The lines right out of a best selling novel... :smiley:
  • EricMGEricMG
    Signs really do make a difference. Remember: 1956.

    Very nice...love the "tire tubes" sign at the very top left...looks a bit odd with the two wood backed signs suspended out from the corner...how are these supported/fastened?
    Brick work is great.
  • EricMGEricMG
    Ken, this building is only viewed under a bridge in the dark. Frankly, this is WAY overkill.
  • EricMGEricMG
    See?
