City of Miami part 2 - 8
was glued over the wrap for the kick plates. A little work with the
Dremel tool on the ends that butt up against the walls and the bar
itself is finished.
The masks along the side of the bar were Photoshopped from one
of the black and white photos. I pushed the image to sepia tone
coloration, and sized them to what looked right. After printing
them I cut them out and glued them into position.
The wall that butts up to the outer wall I painted in the yellow car
color. The body of the car has some extraneous windows, but by
painting the wall yellow, it will show yellow thru the window, mak-
ing the window kind of disappear.
I did all five curved sofa pieces together and in the same way. The
sofa at the end of the bar was painted in three colors. Yellow on
the outer wall, brown leather for the seat, and silver for the frame.

For the end wall of the rear lounge, I followed the written descrip-
tion of the wall treatment. Accordingly, the wainscoting on lower
third of the wall, was a brown leather material, so I matched it to
the sofa with the same brown paint. The next level up was cork
paneling. Back to the Internet for a cork tile piece. Some magic
with Photoshop again and I had 1/87 scale paneling on paper. I
glued the desk to the wall and then this paper paneling from the
top of the sofa and desk partway up the wall.
The final or topmost part of the wall is described as some type
of paneling, likely ash in color. I made it with card-stock. Also a
part of the doorway will be formed from the end of it. The curved
doorway top has a painted palm tree representation on the bar
side. I found a similar image and merged it into the card stock for
the bar side of the door top. I used super glue to attach to attach
the partitions and bar area to the floor.
