[quote user="Mailman56701"][quote user="CAZEPHYR"] [quote user="BRAKIE"]Great modeler but,needs to study more..His roadways are to clean-no oil drops.rubber tracks etc...I thought one photo( the one with the Denny's restaurant) was a picture of the real thing on the first look..A closer look revealed it was indeed a model due to the street surface[/quote] I used to live in Lancaster California about 20 miles south of Mojave and visited that Denny's many times while shooting pictures around that area.  His model is very good and his skill at building the models is fantastic.   If I remember correctly, the Denny's restaurant planted some of the trees that Pelle had on his model layout since they saw the layout pictures and planted the trees to enhance the real prototype. Not only is he a great modeler and artist, but he is a great landscape artist also if that story is true. [/quote]  Actually, the palm tree info. pertained to another modeler, and involved a hotel......but I too have to add iirc.[/quote] The palm tree story is true and it did involve the Best Western Motel.  Pelle delivered an color enlargement during one of his stays in Mojave to the management and the next visit that Pelle made the palm trees had been imported and planted.  Simple story.
