Here's a few quick overall shots. The only points of interest I can think of are: 1. The table for customers who have to lay down was a long table from 1/24 scale doll house material. I added the cousioning from Sculpey. 2. I tried to make a model of the colored ink supply bottle rack on the table.

Maybe the tattooer might have a sandwich and beer on the table in front of him, you know, to emphasize the strict sanitary conditions maintained in the shop :) Country: USA | Posts: 2091 quartergauger48 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/09/2015 :  9:41:53 PM     Bob, " Bill Gill's. is just perfect'... Ted Country: USA | Posts: 5321 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/11/2015 :  06:58:17 AM       Thanks Pete, Bill and Ted. We really need to get the sweeper to come down the alley. http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30102&whichpage=1 http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=38921 http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=45371 http://www.freewebs.com/santmod/ Country: USA | Posts: 3262 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/11/2015 :  07:53:49 AM       Every time I check your thread Bob I am blown away... Amazing stuff! Country: USA | Posts: 2653 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/11/2015 :  10:58:12 AM     Excellent, Bob! Apparently great minds Do run in the same gutter! I was about to observe that the bus station and parlor could use a wino or two and some trash on the street. Love the dead bottles there! Nice! Pete in Michigan Country: USA | Posts: 5785 Bill Gill Fireman Posted - 07/11/2015 :  12:29:19 PM     "Go Greyhound!" used to sound like an invitation for a pleasant bus ride, but the evidence of activities in that alley make me wonder if here it might be pleading to get away from there fast :) Very nice scene, Bob. Country: USA | Posts: 2091 Ray Dunakin Fireman Posted - 07/12/2015 :  12:52:48 AM       The cruddy sidewalk, empty bottles, and other small bits of detritus are excellent! Country: USA | Posts: 3139 dallas_m Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/12/2015 :  12:56:33 AM     How 'bout dat! The back of the bus station is on the wrong side of the tracks. Nice job! (Well, maybe "nice" is the wrong word here.) Cheers, Dallas Chambers Gas & Oil -- structure build Quality craftsmanship with a sense of humor! Country: USA | Posts: 4674 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 07/12/2015 :  07:42:18 AM       Thank you Carl, Pete, Bill, Ray, and Dallas, I appreciate your comments. I have tried to show two sides of life. Back in 1941 the bus station in my home town was always kept neat and clean, not like later times when things went down hill. Even in the neater cleaner times there were still those areas "down the alley behind the bus station" that were not nearly so clean. I have a bunch of figures primed and will be spending my time painting them. Then I will get the model outside for some photos, I dislike the flash photos I have been posting. I have been so busy with outside work and family commitments that I have not even thought about what might come next.

Though I somehow feel compelled to come over there to pick up those empty bottles laying around. Now I wonder.... if Bill's shop has any packs of lick on tattoos with gum, or any Scottish tattoos?
