I've actually made some headway with the 1/12 scale Tiki Bar. The bar itself is finished and I've put down a floor. The Tiki mask I made is being incorporated into the bar's sign, which I think will be flanked by Tiki torches (that will actually light up and flicker!!!) at the front of the bar. Here's some photos of the progress...

Welcome to the Tiki Bar!

miniature tiki bar - the bar!

It's been a while, but here's an update for you!

In a moment of sheer inspiration, I grabbed an empty tea box and thought it'd make a great bar for the Tiki project...

While out shopping for some craft supplies today, I picked up some cool fabric and paper grass accents...




Thinking these would be perfect accents for the bar, I knew exactly how to integrate them. Here's some shots of the rough concept...




The bar is also going to get some legs to raise the height a bit. These I'll be stained a dark brown to match the fabric accent.

Stay tuned, readers!
