An AC unit has been hoisted onto the roof, with ductwork from a scrap plastic sprue. The rooftop HVAC unit over the walk in cooler is a Lego block with washer fans on top. Wood furniture screwhole buttons make the two domed vents over the grill. #24 wire forms the plumbing vent stacks over the kitchen sink and rest rooms.
The diner is named for Bill Sweet and Irene, model railroad friends from Lockport NY.
I like how you take common Lego blocks, sprue, wire, and a little paint to create convincing detail parts. I've started a "left-overs" box to keep bits and pieces I might normally throw out to repurpose in a similar manner.
ReplyDeleteThank you - and I always look at little common objects with a scale eye ... asking, "If this were HO scale, what would it be?"
