In this HO-scale diorama, two gentlemen are taking a break and discussing today's affairs. One is walking his dog, and the other is sipping on a beverage that he must have just purchased at Buddy's.

To the right of the bench there is a flowerbed bordered by rocks. The fence around Buddy's courtyard is scratchbuilt and set in overgrown flowerbeds. There are cracks in the sidewalk in addition to the required expansion joints.

Buddy's is a busy place. Every seat is taken. The details are exquisite. The customer's newspaper is a reduced copy of two real newspaper pages!

Other details includes signs in the door, drawstrings for the blinds, and a tree growing up the side of the building.

Buddy's Café is just the perfect hang-out in town to stop by and have a cup of coffee, maybe even a bite to eat. It is wonderful to sit with friends and chit-chat. This mini scene includes patrons, lush vegetation, street corner sidewalk, lamp post, and a mail box.

All the windows have curtains, and there blinds in the front to block out the late afternoon sun.

There are many signs on the side of the building. Most have been there for years. Note the full trash can out back by the door. Last night the wind must have blown it over.
