DRIVE IN MOVIE SCREEN PROJECT

Nice Job!!!!!!  

Real nice! Gives me an idea to do something similar.

Nice work Alex!

 

Looks good.

 

Rich

Came out real nice. I am sure he will enjoy it.

Nice job Alex. How about a playground under the screen. Don

I've been toying with the idea too for my AF layout and studying what Walmart has to offer for small screens.  Don, there are plenty of Plasticville playground pieces out there for Alex to consider using.

 

Phil

Thanks Drew, Kevin,Rich, Don, Don Scale rail, Phil, for the very kind words.

I appreciate it very much.

 

 

Thanks, Alex

Hi Alex, your a trickey little engine. 

I have plans for a flat screen TV as a drive in and you gave me some great ideas.

 

Thank's for posting.

So whats playing tonight   I will bring the popcorn  I think the last movie I saw at a drive in was the Blob with Steve McQueen

Alex,

 

That looks great! I really like your scratch built projects.

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

Mike R

Yes, definitely nice work Alex!  But now we have a dilemma.  Do we watch our trains run or watch a movie?  "Quite the connundrum" as Newman said in a Seinfeld episode.  LOL!

 

Phil 

Thanks Mario, Ben, Mike R, AND, Phil, for the kind words, It means a lot to me.

I enjoy posting these projects because if it gives my fellow forum members some idea's, That's what it's all about.

 

Thanks again, Alex

 

Looks great. It would be nice to see once it's in place in its new home!

Very nice and a great idea!!

Looks great, you will find you get great reaction to that addition on your layout.

 

Just a FYI if you search on the internet for home outdoor movie you will find all the commercials that use to play at the old drive-in movies for download. The dancing hot dogs and sodas along with the countdown till showtime, and more. I put these together for mine. I used a small portable DVD player set into my board. Miller Engineering had the neon drive-in sign for the entrance. Hallmark had a tree ornament that was a lighted ticket booth also.    

Very nice Alex. Sure like the drugstore and Penn station you made. A true craftsman! Can't wait for more out your projects!

Nice job Alex. Very creative!

This is an overhead picture of the drive-in that used to be on Staten Island.  The mall sits there now

 

Boy does this bring back great memories when I was a kid and we went to the drive-in.  It was like an adventure!! 

 

Great job Alex.  I know where a tablet is that would work for my project!!

 

Alan

My youngest son gave me a 5" picture/movie viewer for Christmas for such a project. He wants me to have a drive-in movie area so his son, Aidan 3, can park little cars there.

He picked up 3 of these screens for $7 a piece at a closeout site. I don't have the wood working skills to make the drive-in screen but it's a cool idea.

That's great. I have a friend who I can sho this to, maybe it will get him to get going on his. Thanks Alex.

Thanks, BigtruckPete, Jeff T, Nelson,Barry, Ben,Alan, Bill, and Ed for the nice words and great info.

 

Thanks, Alex

1,000 times nicer than the drive-in scene that I built to use with a portable DVD player - I needed to hide the base, something that your picture frame took care of naturally!!!!  Congrats on a great looking drive-in screen!!! 

 

These couple of pictures show how bulky a portable DVD player is relative to you streamlined version!!

Great model Alex.  I wish I had room on my layout for something like this!

Thanks Walt, and Jim for the kind words.

 

Hey Walt it looks mighty nice in the photo you posted

 

Jim This structure is pretty small and doesn't take up much room at all.

 

Thanks, Alex
