Ramfins59 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Tom, that looks great. I'm sure there are not many of these Fotomat places around anymore with everyone using Digital Cameras now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 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!

crazyrichard Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Man that is awesome Tom, I remember them well. Great build idea and great build. I think the Fotomats died in the 80's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 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 (!).

realgone58 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 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. -MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
