Talk about your fast food joint,the speed you have built this beauty at is amazing.
What does Mrs.Santos feed you Bob? And could I have some please!
I can't wait to see what you serve us up on the insides.
I will try not to blink and miss anything.

A little more progress today, Installed clear styrene windows. I used a section of clear tube
for the glass in the round corner. Added signs, and while you cannot see it in these photos,
I did get a small start on the interior.

Greg, As a matter of fact, Mrs. Santos is an EXCELLENT cook. That's one of my problems.
Hard to keep the pounds off. However, NO FAST FOOD SERVED.

Yes, Dallas, I knew. [:-bigeyes][:-bigeyes]

I already gave you my kudos on your string. A fantastic detail.

I will be cranking out similar details soon for my interior.

Cheers,
Bob

Here's a VERY early shot of the basic interior. Since there are TONS of details required to
fill it out I will knock off for a day or so and consentrate on those details.

Which reminds me, so you won't think I went off to the happy hunting grounds, after next week I
will be on line very little for two weeks. I watch very little TV but I am a sports NUT and
I will be glued to the TV for the Olimpics.

Cheers,
Bob

Bob, as a follower of your work, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the interior.

Made the following masters today. tomorrow I will make the rubber mold to reproduce them.

Turned from resin: pie plate, large plate, dish, catsup/mustard bottle (depends on paint)

styrene: napkin dispenser, coffee mug, box of fries, salt/pepper shaker (depends on paint)

Schlpey: burger patty, burger bun, burger in bun, donut, pie, cake.

Those last two, pie and cake, are not really masters, they will never be used as such. They
were a quick experiment on making those in colored Sculpy (no painting required) and
able to be cut and show the insides.
Hopefully I can do a much better job of it.

Nice work!

I'm going to miss your progress reports while you're glued to the TV. Just make sure you don't leave any skin stuck to the TV when the Olympics are over!

Greg, Mark, and Ray, thanks for your commments.
I'm still making details this week before the Olympics. I will still be checking in but not
much work will get done during those two weeks.
DANG!! That crazy Charlie got in there and started making coffee before the place is done!!





Tall urn is resin, turned on the lathe.
Coffee jugs are clear glass marbles, each sitting on a finish washer, flat washer top, handles cut from black styrene.
stand is painted styrene with knobs punched from black styrene in two different diameters.

Neato torpedo! I knew it would be worthwhile to create a folder for ideas to steal ... er "borrow" from this one.

First glance at the coffee pots ... I thought for sure you'd gone over to the dollhouse suppliers for those bits ... but then I find that you're really using your marbles here! (Can't believe Shinnie didn't get that one first.)

Got a bit more work done but there are many things I want to add yet.




From outside it is getting to look occupied.



I have not yet installed the lighting but I shined a little flashlight into the end window
just to get a feel for it.



I will be checking in but I doubt I'll get any more work done until after the Olympics.

Bob
