jerseyjunker1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 thought you might like to see the food stand and registration booth that i am building for the car show diorama. i made the grill out of aluminum. the hamburgers are made of painted glue and dirt. the hot dogs are made of painted solder. the buns are painted toothpicks.the straws are painted fishing line the bottles are reworked d.m. coke bottles. the ketchup and mustard bottles are painted and shaped dowels. the paper plates are made of painted paper. the ice in the cold drinks is crushed glass. the canopies are made of plumbing solder and hockey goals and covered in thin vinyl.the trash cans i made from old Dremel cutting wheel bottles. the cook and customer were converted west coast mechanics figures. i am not yet done with this but this what i have done now. cook getting ready for the rush thats about to come the cooks helper has showed up some customers are starting to show up. a couple of shots of the registration booth. they will be set up differently at the show.

Mercman Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Have you tried Fimo Clay for your food. I used Fimo for the hot dogs, burgers and buns. The fries are embroidery floss run through white glue. The Condiment s are dowel rod with a pin for the nozzle, and the salt, pepper shakers are tops of some tooth pics. The napkin holders are just square tubing, with tissue in them . Overall great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercman Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 You can get Fimo at Michael's, or Hobby Lobby. Maybe even at a craft shop. Comes in a 2w2x2 sruare. Just shpe it the way you want then bake it for 20-30 min's. Hardens like concrete, but you can carve, and sand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Burgers made from glue and dirt? Sounds EXACTLY like the stuff the vendors at the local shows serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruleworld Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 the hamburgers are made of painted glue and dirt. Sounds delicious! That chick sure glops on the lipstick, or maybe she's channeling the Joker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
