Hi simon!
Looks great!! maybe want to put some dice on the table outside where the guys a sitting, so they have something to do. You might wanna draw a g-string on that dancer before the cops bust the place.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I appreciate them. Thoroughbred, I'll certainly look into adding some kind of activity to the outside tables, but as to the G-String, that's a big Nono. Have you ever heard of a biker hangout that doesn't have a nude dancer? That's one of the items that's short in supply on the diorama is, motorbikes. I didn't get them all assembled in the alotted time. But I'm going to finish the diorama soon. I will update the thread acoorfingly.

Cheers, Simon

Cool simon! My wife would make my life unbearable with that interior scene...No wonder no one's shooting pool!

All you need now is a beat up truck driver leaving the place with a pile of smashed up motorcycles in his wake!

Simon I need to know where did you find that 59 Chevy ElCamino I gotta get me one of those

[GS4]

Thanks for the compliments guys, I really appreciate them.

Allgany, I'll be totally honest with you, I don't know, most likely got when I bought some secondhand stuff. I've had it for years.

Keith, thanks for sorting out my error

Cheers, Simon

Nice work, but I'd remove the nude on the bar before putting that on display though.

I say leave her in for authenticity sake. When I went to visit Howard Zane's Piermont Division at one of his open houses for the first time I noticed a rather over abundance of nude women skinny dipping in various lakes, rivers, ponds etc. with crowds of gawkers (no not the full sized one HO scale gawkers) perched on the edge of bridges, cliffs, any numerous precarious vantage points. It actually added for very whimsical effect to the layout. One of his operators told us a story of how they had a church group come in and visit the layout well all the young boys in the group were like hey wow! look at that! while the teachers, chaperons etc. were gasped and apauled.........lol oh well that was a trip none of those kids will ever forget
