Trattoria La Volpe
Carlo Volpestra's grandmother taught him to cook in the Old Country. A smattering of fresh basil; a pinch of oregano; a bulb or two of garlic. Mmmmmm. Now Carlo runs his own Trattoria. The Fox. After you look at the menu in the window and see how reasonable are the prices you will come in and have much more than one meatball. $180 with free shipping to anywhere in the Continental United States

The model sits on an 1/8th inch thick balsa wood base that measures roughly 3" x 2 1/2". Measured from the bottom of the base, the highest point on the model is just under 2 1/2" tall. As always, I will include a detailed materials list and a brief how-to should you wish to match the scenery materials that I used to make this diorama.
This model was designed with a 1950's or later North American model railroad layout in mind. By changing the posters, it would be suitable for any era from the Roaring 20's to the present day. I hope that this hand made, signed and dated, diorama will find a place on your z-scale train layout or as a conversation piece on your shelf, mantle, or desk.
Please note this is a scale model, not a toy. It is not suitable for children. Besides it is much too nice for children in any case.
I will happily ship outside of the United States. Please contact me and we can work out shipping details if you are interested.
