Prepping The Majestic
In honor of Oscar Night I'm adding a movie theatre to the town (which hasn't been named yet).
But since this is 1919 the movie posters and "what's playing" have to be accurate. You will see a lot of attention to whatever accuracy is possible throughout the project.
I found a resource online that displays movie posters year by year and downloaded a bunch. Then I kept shrinking them down until I found the right scale. To give you an idea of the scale we're talking about... here's a bunch of display boards with shrunken posters already attached. That's a nickel...
So I decide what's playing is a movie by Charlie Chaplin and one by Tom Mix - both released and viewed during the year 1919. The other posters are used... they're just inside the theatre. Once I get it lit, you'll be able to see the lobby. Until then, let's get some popcorn!

Looking good...and just in time for the Oscars. Nice.
That is pretty sweet.
Wow, this is looking pretty awesome! Great detail.
Didn't Birth of A Nation come out around that time? I think that would add a little flair to your movie theater. :) It looks beautiful.
faiqa - 1915 or 16 I think?
Forgive me if this is an ignorant statement, but: I absolutely love this new(?) hobby(?) of yours.
Hi Poppy! Thanks! I love it too.
