My BOTW is my N scale caboose drive in I just completed yesterday. I know you may be asking "Haven't you already posted this?" and yes I did.I just wanted to re-post this building because now it actually looks like a building and less like the caboose it once was.

Thank you.You can look at how I made it almost step by step under the customizing section under the name of "1960's Arnold caboose made into drive in!" or something similar. That's, of course, if you want to see how I made it.

I think I like those awful bushes the most. Along with the
tireless car, it hits that Tycomania sweet spot.

The very essence of Tycomania, distilled in that one scene.

To older coots like me, Arnold's drive in has a different meaning:

Great piece. That search light on the left is a clever
addition. Nice back drop, too, the whole scene flows.

I like the buildings shown so far. This next one is an old AHM farm building I bought at a recent yard sale.
It was damaged but I fixed it as best as I could with some markers.

Sweet barn! The cow seems to be following
the lady with the purse. Hope she don't get
bit. Clouds came out real nice in this shot.

Nice barn! It actually looks a lot like another barn I made from an old H0 scale shed kit. At least in terms of color choices.
