Please post photos of the other rooms - here or in Beyond Tiki. If the other rooms are as cool as Hula Sue, then we're here for a real treat. |

Great stuff, Mr. Pupu! I can't wait for the next "installment". It kinda feels like I'm anxiously awaiting the next episode of my favorite TV show! |

Hello Guys, thanks! leleliz, thanks very much for all the kind words. nukke, thanks :). I think I'll wait to post the pics of the other rooms until they are closer to completion (they're all in various stages of progress and on hold until Hula Sue's is 'finished'). Zog, thanks, that's certainly how I feel about all the great work going on at this site. Sure is good company to be in :) Here's a picture of the airplane fuselage under construction.

Oh, Pupu, My Pupu! I'm just about a 1/2 hr. drive from Edmonds, and constantly haunting thrift and antique stores, and who knows what I might come across... You (or anyone else )are welcome to come over to the "Poi Dog Paradise" for a tour and tipple! Make me something Tripical. You know,a mai-tai,with 3 shots of rum!

tikimyniki, I meant it when I simply asked that you not post on this thread. Since you can't even honor that and I don't have the ability to block it, this will be my last post on tiki central until I can. Life is just too short. Everyone else, thanks very much for all the great ideas and kind words. I truly appreciated the constructive give and take and warm encouragement and I'm sure I'll peek in from time to time to see what you're all working on.

Mr PuPu, great job! The whole project is terrific, but I have loved the airline section the first time I saw the drawing! Everyone who does a Tiki Bar always hopes to make it special and unique, I think you accomplished that big time! Great job again! Amy [ Edited by: Queen Kamehameha 2009-07-20 16:08 ] |

Please reconsider. As a community, TC is only going to be as good as its active members. It seems to me that the best way to keep the quality where it should be isn't to complain about others and then leave, but rather to be active yourself and set a good example. Illegitimi non carborundum! Thanks for the all the pics and inspiration. |

I just wanted to bump this thread to let Mr. Pupu Pants know we still want photo updates... ...Mr. Pupu Pants, I know you left because of a troll, but it looks like the troll is gone...the bridge is clear, so please post some updates! For those of you new to the thread, have a good look from the beginning. It's an inspiring tiki room! |

Mr. Pupu, PLEASE disregard the "troll" and honor us with more photos/updates on the progress. I've followed it closely since the beginning and will hopefully be starting my own room soon, and yours has been a huge inspiration. I may try to pick your brain for some help on a few ideas I had that might require your ingenuity to figure out... Mahalo, Paul |

PuPu. First time I have posted on your thread although I have watched your progress from the start. It's been like a drug to see it all unfold and I need a fix. These long cold Michigan Fall nights would warm up with a little PuPu magic to get me through. |

Hi Guys, thanks very much for the nice comments. Definitely missed hanging around Tiki Central. :) Had a great time :) and actually did see one Tiki place on the trip -- a small, beachside cafe near Nice and Monaco. It was called.....ummmm.....'Tiki Place'. Here's a picture: Also, when we were at the D'Orsay Museum in Paris, we did see someone entering with a Tikiyaki flight bag. Was anyone from this site visiting that Museum and carrying that bag in early to mid-September? :) Among other places, we also went to the D-day beaches (incredible and very moving) and Euro Disneyland. For all you fellow Disney fans -- it was a cool park but, overall, not nearly as detail-oriented as Anaheim. They did, however, still have a Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse (very cool): Anyway, it's nice to be back at Tiki Central and I'll chat with you soon, |

Hi Guys, sorry it's been so long. I'll post again very soon as I'm on roll right now :) The front corner of the bar will be rounded and the upper level ('customer' side) of the bar top will have portholes every 1.5 ft. that are flush to the surface. You'll be able to look down into them to see lit display cases that have Hawaiian travel memorabilia. A background behind the hula girl masthead will be painted to resemble shades of blue water with a lighting effect that looks like rising bubbles. The foot rail will be bamboo supported by carved struts. I'll post some updated pictures of the booth and the airplane section later this week. Thanks for all the encouragement!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! Welcome back Mr. Pupu. The bar looks fantastic and can't wait to see the airplane section. That lighting effect behind the figurehead in the bar sounds killer. Inspiring work as always and I am looking forward to more posts. Thanks again. |

Hi Mike! On another note---this is a good time for me to toot your horn as a generous and creative tiki friend. In an earlier post, I had mentioned that I was planning to have a video monitor running aerial footage within the porthole window of the airplane seating area. Well, Mike took it upon himself to create an awesome set of 'aerial' clips by building a miniature airplane wing (complete with Hula Sue moniker and engine), shooting it as a 'window P.O.V.' and adding sound effects and captain.s announcements. Over the course of several weeks , I received several DVDs of 'flight' footage (daytime, sunset and night time with clouds) in the mail. How's that for tiki community spirit and generosity? Mike, I know you did it for fun but it was also very kind and meant alot. Thank you again, kind Sir!!! Oop, had to edit and add one thing -- Thank you Amy! I'm sure enjoying watching what you're doing with your new treehouse 'village'. It is beyond cool :) [ Edited by: Mr. Pupu Pants 2009-11-30 14:38 ] |

Looking great as it has since the start, thanks for sharing with us all again. I love the portholes in the bar idea, and the airliner area as well, great ideas...Any progress on the 3D relief map?
