This is a 1:12 scale
replica of IN-N-OUT BURGER's first store, which opened in October
of 1948. I based it off a stylized painting by Jack Schmitt, as
well as the actual stand. This is (to date) the biggest project
I've worked on, with the base measuring 40"x40". It was
challenging to build in a larger scale (one inch representing one
foot) rather than mini-fig scale, in which I build almost exclusively.
Once I got over the initial shock I found it pretty exciting to
build at this scale (not necessarily easier or more difficult, just
completely different). The windows are my favorite detail, as they're
angled corners. Acheiving that was probably the most daunting aspect
of imagining up the entire display, but it turned out well I think
(and it's all unmodified LEGO). I also like the picnic table and
produce, which weren't that difficult in terms of building, but
they look cool at the larger scale. The car is a 1949 Ford coupe,
which I should be making a separate page for eventually. Enjoy!
