Jerry B44 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 With help from Bob Weltyk I am about done with my diner interior. Did some surgery on the tables and the people to get it to work out. Stock interior the tables/chairs are too close together, but I wanted the tables centered on the windows. So narrowed the tables and the seats, plus made the seats look more like chairs by cutting the sides off, had armrests like in a coach car. Still have some details left. We have some UP diner plates/etc that I took some pictures of and printed them off to use for the table tops. No 1/32nd plates out there.

Jerry B44 Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 You can see how Bob did all his Accucraft streamliners, this is the diner work that inspired me. https://youtu.be/BlnZl-zxcII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 That's great Jerry! I like your printed dinnerware better than those oversized doll house pieces. Maybe some small vases with flowers?? But I have no idea how to come up with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Very good work Jerry. Now I want to know how to make those nice looking dishes and silverware. You are right. No 1:32 dishes and silverware anywhere. Tell us in detail how you did it. Please Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Bob, we have some UP dinnerware and I set up a table all arranged and took some pictures of it. Picked the best and sized it to fit the tables.(insert in the lower corner of the above pix). Made a page of them. Printed it off, sprayed it with a clear UV spray and cut them out. Leaving a long edge to hang over and give an illusion of a table cloth hanging over the edge. I used double sided tape on the table, then stuck the printed table top to it. I cut some clean tube for glasses and glued them on yesterday and made some kitchen pots and pans from plastic tubing I sprayed silver. Kitchen figures are too tall, may shorten them some. I had re-painted the shell with Trucolor UP yellow, but it still does not match MTH's version. Maybe I used another brand before. Guess I'll live with it, got new lettering on now. I can email you some of the table top pix if you want to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Well Jerry, you fooled me. I thought they were small replicas of dinnerware, boy, you got me on that one. They sure look good. I am happy that you told me because I was just about to buy a 3d printer. Yes, if you have some extra pics. please send them. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Here's a shot of the tables done with some glasses I made from some tubing. I shortened the cooks some also. Here is a detail shot of it put back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 The couplers on these cars did not match up well with anything I run. The great thing is the dummy coupler boxes are exactly the same mounting as the #1 KD couplers are. So they swap right out easily. Just incase you need to, that is.
