[DIY & Creativity] 1950s Diner Done

Done! I may have a couple of things left but basically done. This was very fun and went together so well.
As most of you I had a guest appearance by none other than Elvis!


As for changes beyond, I painted most of the edges. added some lights to the stairs. And of course I added The King!
I also experimented and rather than use the little silver squares for the disco lights, I dipped in mod podge and then sprinkled different glitters. I liked the silver and gold ones. The red one in the middle did not come out as well. I used a crackley glitter rather than fine. It just clumped. But I left it.


There are a lot of 2D but in all honesty, it looks pretty good. As I was building this, I noticed so very much and the 2D things actually added to the beauty and fun!

This is basically the same distributor as my Saloon. No big complaints and I got a smaller hammer which works great, Came with kit!

You’re welcome. I got a tiny pair of scissors recently with one of my kits…They are super sharp and much easier to use than my normal sized scissors. I can’t recall which kit they came in but I remember being confused because there were no paper items to cut…LOL!

It really is a gorgeous build. I love your modifications. This build is fit for the king!!

Just Love it. Good job! I made a spotlight out of a piece of orange sipping straw, and electrical taped a light that came with the kit inside the straw. Then Crazy glued it to the top of the adjacent wall pointing the light on the stage curtain. Came out great :+1:

Wow, that is a great modification! I was almost going to put Elvis on stage but was afraid you would not see him as much!

I love all the details. This turned out great!

I love how it turned out and the Elvis touch you added.

I absolutely love what you’ve done with your 1950s Presley Diner! I’m not usually a big fan of 2D printed stuff on 3D models, but yours really stand out.
