of course, that means you'd have to do your custom 50s rods in 1/87. better to get it in 1/25 scale.

Sadly the original Mel's Diner was pulled down shortly after the movie was finished.

What's stopping anyone scratchbuilding it in a larger scale? It's mostly glass (clear styrene) and there's all kinds of reference photos if you Google for them........

But like you said Harry....... that would make for one HUGE dio!

Ya know what a guy could do a half version of it. Yeah a full size would be big, But a killer idea.

That would be cool in 1/25, but it would be huge! Not many people would have the space to display a diorama that big.

Would'nt be too bad if you could just build the front half against a flat back gound. Well beyond my meger talents.

You'll never know till you try.

Also just announced from Moebius in HO (1:87) scale but it is apparently an exact replica of Mel's. It could be used to get dimensions:

If you think THAT would take up space, try buildin 24th/25th scale Airplanes. They are beautiful to look at when finished, but MAN do they take up ALOT of space!!!! Kinda remind me of all the space my old 1/8th kits used to take up!
