When Cheyenne was making Park20's beer garden / cafe I got inspired to make my own all I need is photo's of beer gardens of WW2



MATT

Hi Matt. Beer gardens of WW2 are probably much like beer gardens of today. Basically folks want to drink outside when the weather is good. So any typical rustic lodge-type or café building with outside seating is cool. This is where your imagination can get the freedom to enjoy the build.
In Sweden they call it "utservering" where a terrace or balcony is built with timber in the summer, adjoining to the said establishment. Seating can be simple, long timber-benches and tables to having logs cut as seats around smaller tables. An urban version would probably have a surrounding wall to protect privacy, with seating simialr to the rural version.

Matt, Frank's right on the money !!!
Most early beergardens were extensions of inns, beerhalls or hostels for Octoberfests, Summer gatherings etc. for nice weather outdoor beer and kockworst.
Get youself some good German looking buildings as ref. pics. I searched " timber and stone German buildings "
I'm retired now and have all the time in the world, except last week, just got back from " Holiday visiting and new house hunting yeeech ".
Get yourself some 3/16th foamboard and form your basic structure. If you want, you can p.m. me and I'll help you with this build.
You can build the bottom ref. pics. it's not really that hard. Foamboard, fishtank stones, balsa & basswood, plaster or sheetrock mud. That's it, all applied in the proper proportions.
Lottsa time and patience [ sp ? ], I'm not patient enough to pick up Webster and look it up. Yes redundancy is a hobby of mine.


This first pic. [ with the tunnel was used in Parksies beergarden ]

Thanks Cheyenne your help will be much appreciated

Hi Cheyenne! this photos are really COOL ! , first of them have a lot of scenic possibilities.. I´m very tempted to start working in it ... :-)
Happy New Year !

Carlos, don't you just love all the different textures and shapes !!!!!!
I forget where I found these ref. pics. I think somewhere when I googled " German stone and timber buildings ".
If I remember correctly these are pics. from the early 1900's - 20's .

Matt sorry to step on your post.
Let me know when you want to start something.
Glenn

Oh yeah, post some of those ref. pics. so I can see what you're in for, l.o.l.

Unfortunately i am occupied with another diorama, otherwise we could have a started a beergarden contest. ..... Building of course , not drinking !

Happy New Year to everyone

Cheers
