I have an Ameri-Towne Palace Theater with a Miller Engineering marque I'm planning to build. My problem is that unlike many other Ameri-Towne structures a printed interior background isn't included with this building. If you have this building did you add a lobby/interior (or photo of one) to it? I've searched online for pictures of theater lobby/interiors that would be appropriate but haven't found any? Suggestions on what to do are welcomed as well as photos of completed Ameri-Towne theaters.

Here is what I did with my flat of the theater front. Painted the little lights white, painted walk-up, added marquee, downloaded lobby interior and window treatments, taped those to the plastic. You can just see a NH boxcar on the left. I had to raise the front up because the marquee sticks out just enough to interfere with a passing train. I normally google the images, download to desktop, print on photo paper.
Hope this helps you.

Here is what I did with mine. I searched images on Google until I found some that I liked. I put in a concession counter with pictures on the front and back, a woman behind the counter and a customer facing the counter. I also put a woman at the ticket counter and put LED lights inside. I am happy with the way it turned out.

Jerry, a download of a lobby interior and window treatments is exactly what I've been searching for but found nothing suitable doing a google search. Could you either post here (or email me if you'd prefer) links for the downloaded images you used or files with those images you downloaded and used for your theater lobby interior and window treatments? You help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Oguage, that was years ago. Couldn't find them. Try these, or google (it's now a verb) theater lobby interiors. You don't need anything fancy to edit them. I just put them into Word and crop/resize them til they fit the size I need. Most anything will serve as window interiors for those narrow windows on the front. I'm sure I used something left over from the other fronts I had. You can even make small pics of your kids or your bedroom/kitchen/dining room. Use your phone and download to your computer.
Chugman, been checking out your pics. Layout is going to be awesome. I wanted a theater for a newly created space, but it won't fit without interfering with the sidings the space was created for. You guys have given me an idea for a new flat with that Miller Marquee, which will also have to lay pretty flat.
