Hey, Jeff, when that diorama is completed, let me know.   It'll come in handy as an altarpiece for our BBM Cult worship services.  ;)

It shouldn't be too difficult to come up with a building for Monroe's grocery store, too. That's a pretty nondescript small-town storefront building.

So in addition to the Siesta Motel, it should be possible to come up with the laundry with the apartment over it, the grocery store, the Black and Blue Eagle bar, maybe the Elks' Club building, and, since they do make HO-scale mobile homes, even Joe Aguirre's trailer office.

The motel arrived in Friday's mail. Now the next time I'm in a hobby shop, it's time to start looking for an appropriate pickup truck.  :D

That's beyond my technical capability.

OK, I didn't think I'd be able to do this, but here's a link to the eBay listing, for anyone who wants to see the Siesta Motel in HO scale.  ;D

WOW!  Your very own Siesta Motel!   :o


"They went off in Jack's truck, bought a bottle of whiskey and within twenty minutes were in the Motel Siesta jouncing a bed. A few handfuls of hail rattled against the window followed by rain and slippery wind banging the unsecured door of the next room then and through the night.  The room stank of semen and smoke and sweat and whiskey, of old carpet and sour hay, saddle leather, shit and cheap soap."

Don't forget the little whiskey bottle!   ;D . . . but I won't say anything about how to create the appropriate "fragrances"!   ;) ::)
