Thanks Jerry!

i scratch built all the interior. The bar was made from bits and pieces of styrene and covered with Bare Metal Foil (same with the seats). I took a strip of triangular balsa aileron stock for the seat backs and some 1/2 inch square balsa for the seat and glued them together in about a six inch strip. Then I sanded them to the shape of the seats using the LAR technique ( Looks About Right ). Then just sliced them off to length with a razor saw and miter box. I made he ashtrays using some HO scale signs that used to come in Model Power building kits, snipped the sign part off, heated a #11 x-acto knife and pressed the stem to melt it into shape. Then snipped the base into somewhat square with a nail clipper. The "carpet" is a textured paper towel. If you look closely, you can see the pattern. The plant stand was made from a wire nut which I cut down a bit and stuck a wire armature tree in it. There're some things I'd do differently the next time, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Hard to find some of this stuff in S. thanks again for your comments.
