Remember these? My latest project.

Just finished this small diorama. Building is mostly .060 styrene. 1/25 scale of course!

Tom, that looks great. I'm sure there are not many of these Fotomat places around anymore with everyone using Digital Cameras now.

Nice job, .very impressive work. The colors and lighting are brilliant.

Funny...I've actually been toying with building a Fotomat booth.

Nice job on that, Tom.

What is this "Film"??

Very cool diorama. At one point I thought about doing one of these myself, but you know the procrastination thing! Glad you did it.

And BTW, Photomat never had a bathroom! They always made a deal with a store in the shopping center so their employees could use their restroom. Yea, I knew a girl who worked there once and asked!

whow thats really cool !! awsome build !! also love the road and the papers flying around .. maybe ... if you got the nerv .. weather the yellow of the roof just a tiny tiny bit ... thats wuld really make it pop , like thise ridges in the roof will get extra depth with a wash and since the road is also not super clean that will tie in with ...

very very cool stuff

Man that is awesome Tom, I remember them well. Great build idea and great build. I think the Fotomats died in the 80's...

[mikemodeler]

Great job and as always, nice details!

I have seen many of these converted to coffee or cigarette drive thru shops.

[Mike Kucaba]

Excellent work Tom! Looks period perfect.

[Sixties Sam]

Stunning! Spectacular work, Tom.

You really captured it. The back-stock of film, the window ads, the little boom box on the desktop; everything! The only things missing are bins of finished orders, stacks of envelopes, and a pile of inventory sheets on the desktop.

I worked as a runner for a similar company (1-Day Photo) for awhile in '70. It was an amazing operation back in those pre-digital days! And the girls were all young . . . and . . . beautiful! (On purpose, of course.)

It was a great job (!).

[gasser59]

That is stellar. Great idea for a mini dio. Very well executed with all of the little details.

[baddgass]

Great work brother.

[realgone58]

That is great! I completely forgot about these things until I saw your post. Nice Monte Carlo by the way. Where did you source the correct hub caps for it?

[Maindrian Pace]

Beautiful job. There was a Fotomat near me in a grocery store parking lot for ever, the main building still stands and is now a drive-up bottled water kiosk. Desert, you know.
