1:87 HO railroad scale

I know these aren't strictly auto related but here is the story behind them. Last christmas my wife and I bought a '51 Merc custom rod with a greaser and girlfriend for our oldest son's railroad layout. He models the 60's/early70's. He decided that he should include one of those old pull-off picnic areas you used to see everywhere. I decided to build him a couple of picnic tables and grills to go in the new area. Here they are. Let me know what you guys think. The picnic tables are made of wood and I cut down craft sticks to scale 2x6's and built them just like they used around here back in the 60's. The grills are made from blister pack plastic with sprue posts. The grates inside the grills are made from jewelry wire and are removable. Hope you like them.
