My BOTW is an old Myrtle's Diner I picked up from Chops, that is due for some significant remodeling 
Will post later after she's had her makeover.

| Looks like it could be fun to pull out an old combination car and turn it into a diner of your own design.

And this is the way cool Myrtle's traded to me by the amazing Raysouthernpac of LA. For this he got a NIB Tyco Exxon Station. This pristine model came in its box and the whistle gives a wonderful "hooooo" sound.

Chops that scene is literally dripping with Tycomania.

I would agree...
One of a set of three small town buildings put out in a set by Tru-Scale back in the early 60s, I sent this to a modeler in a talent exchange where we each swapped a building, personalized it with our own time and talents, then sent them back to each other. A closer look would reveal full interior detail, including a rack of guns and other stuff...

That pawn shop is top shelf! A beautiful and fascinating piece. I'd better stick to Tycomania! Don't even have to shake the (Blue) box!

That ray guy sounds like quite the fella!
Looks great my friend and glad you are enjoying it. Better that it sitting in a box with no use.
If you are not having fun, you are not doing it right.

Thanks guys...it is a piece of work, I was stunned. The light is made with a large LED, the signs are glued to either side.

Another Life-Like building kit I got this week:
Note that it's in the 80s "precision engineered" packaging.
Here it is assembled:
I decided to reverse the way it was built on the box, as it was designed for modular construction.
