jerseyjunker1 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 i have been working on my diner for the upcoming car show. there are only nine of these diners. i changed mine a little . i chromed the front and back fixed everything in place inside the diner so i won't have to set anything up at the shows.it has interior lights but i added some outside lights. finally i changed the name on the diner to muddy flats diner like the junkyard. here is a shot from inside the 59 chevy on the way to the diner.lo just another angle a few shots from outside looking in. a view of the back. this is not yet done i still need to ad some things to it. you never know whats behind an old diner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyjunker1 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 here is part 2. i have the diner that this was modeled after and i chose the colors for this one. it came with a few figures but i made a few customers for it as there are none.this is a night time scene it comes with interior lights but i thought it would be cool to have some outside lights. a shot from a distance a little closer i forgot to show the interior with roof removed so here it is. right side interior with lights on left side interior with lights on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intmd8r Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Until I saw the pic of the back of the Diner, I was wondering "Where's the rust?". As always Manny, another job well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Great job Manny. I've always wanted to do a cruise night diorama with a Diner... I've looked for an old rail car type building but yours is cool. You've definitely got lots of Diners in Jersey to get inspiration from.

george 53 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 As I said before, this is too cool! What scale is it in? If it's 25th, theres a lotta detail! If it's 1/8th it's still cool, caz there's alotta detail in it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Where did you get the diner? Scratchbuilt? Where did you get the figures and other stuff? Lots of questions you need to answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyjunker1 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 the diner is a combined effort by brian dunning of west coast precision diecast and myself. we got together to do this diner our way with our colors. there are only a few of these diners right now but we are trying to get the rest of them. they are made of resin and you assemble it and do the interior the way you like. it comes with booths four figures and a roll out parking lot. it comes pre painted i added chrome and painted the steps. i made the cakes and used some dollhouse items and added some fugures of my own. the phone booth as George said is by scale modeling by chris that i did my way. thanks for asking Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
