crazyrichard Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 haha thnx finished the second bench ,polisher and drill , gave them a new green coat of paint , weathered them with black and rust en a bit of clear so there is some shine then used one half of a aeroplane bomb and made a sleeve on the pipes so its thicker and added a shutter wheel its high up but thats because the building had previous uses and thats from the early days the black i put on the pipes looked terrible so i painted them green then painted the shutter wheel red , thats actually a steering wheel from a formula one car (smaal size was perfect). i just removed one center spoke and made teh edge ribbed added a powerline to the drill some brackets on the piping and rusted them a bit in places made it so the rust runend down along the wall all together shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Great stuff Richard !! I definitely want you on my team !!!! hey thnx !! and what team do you mean ???? i will add a ton of tiny details like rattle cans , tin cans , boxes , tools etc etc so i thought i'd start making some stuff inbetween the bigger items first made a wooden shelf above the left bench , i will add a nother one next to it and maybe 2 higher up , why will be clear in this post so i can fill them with smalls luckely i found a trophy in my partsbox , it needed to be glued together i got that from some partsboxes i got from a friend who didnt used the stuff , glued it together and painted it gold > so i already got a price hahaha the base will be black later on then went wild and scratched these tiny cans and sprayed a bucket out of the fujimi kit silver (so didnt made that myself) painted the cans orange and glued them in place here you can see how cool it will be with filled shelfs of tiny things , so that will grow in time from here on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Good looking progress Richard. Are you planning on putting the tool box that's on the floor on a table or cabinet? I know I would get a sore back leaning down all the time to get a particular tool. Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 thnx yes that is just sitting there for now , so much to make still atm building a rolling table for parts and stuff first hang some big vintage posters on the left wall , need some pins or maybe a frame to make it more real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 because i dont want to use to much that is recognisable from the fujimi kit i used the shelf case and made that into a rolling table with turning wheels and a real wooden top after some weathering and wood stain ...

crazyrichard Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) started the detail on the rolling table , some wrenches and files and a oil can then put a wrench set on it painted that red and with a wooden pin made the sockets and ....? chrome (one cast piece from fujimi) then the mechanic came by and grrrr he made a right mess of it , spilled oil out of the can did 3 more oil cans from the fujimi kit , one red and yellow one on the left shelf and a green one in the hanging closet / cubbord (?) and painted the oil catch funnel Edited March 3, 2013 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 thnx and i have a nothe one btw on some zoomed in pics it seems very dirty but overall its not that extreme .. thats always the issue with making close-ups i guess i made a small cartbord nox on the rolling worktable with a pen as reference for the scale / size then made a larger cartbox box on the bench with a carb plate in it then totally changed the grease tray , made 2 larger sections with black mesh and so now the greese barrels can sit on the left and when i made a big oil drum it can sit on the right the glued some brass and plastic tubes in the barrels so i can use that as base for a pump system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Styrene Chemist Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Wow Richard. While I was reading through this topic I went from nice - cool to WOOW awesome!! Way better than the first idea! Great job so far man. Of zoals wij het zouden zeggen : Mooi werk kameraad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 thnx thomas you know how it is sometimes it takes a while before you find the right look and feel ... and since i never have a fixed plan when building something i was lucky today found a hudge model house in a build skip thats ment as a example for builders to show potential buyers i ripped of a few parts .. most will be used in a new diorama , when this one is finished want to make a more modern looking garage especially for taking pics of my completed models , this one is to detailed and it only distracts so those parts will become a photoboot garage then a got a package a guy milled a tiny ford hotrod for me this will sit in the garage , how cool is that cut a cubbord to size and i will make a wooden top on that and place the rod (then painted) on the cubbord yesterday i started a oil catch cart for cars on the bridge i probable will make a second better version not 100 % statisfied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 This is looking too cool Richard. A combination of scratch building and kits plus a lot of creativity.... On my must follow list ! Joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 thnx !! and yes the fujimi kit is def a must for a garage , the tools would be hard to make right and get them to look decent i do have the drive to change as much as possible waht i use from the kit .. so far most is sratchbuild and some things have junk , fujimi kit parts and styrene in them lol painted the mini rod , the black needs tyding up when the red is dry but i;m very happy with the result uing a small pin i was even able to paint the windows , rims and grille just usd chrome for all those parts first made the file cabinet where the rod will sit on made doorknobs and a real wooden top in place the rod >> oil drum made of 3 old rims totally changed the oil cather as well base layer of red waighting for more paint and decalling all the barrels , jerycans and drum together seen from a normal distance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 finished the oil catcher cart painted and weathered the oil drum (made out of 3 rims) finetuned the paint on the minirod and put pinstripe decals on the file cabinet , will get some clear so the silvering is gone and the cabinet shines pinstripes op de kast , komt nog een laagje clear over dan glimt de kast en zijn de randjes vd decal niet meer zo zichtbaa volgende op de aganda is een grote kast boven waar nu de grote poster hangt en daar werkplaatsboeken en catalogussen in zetten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Richard, in the USA your fire extinguisher would be mounted right next to the exit door. That's so someone wouldn't be running deeper into the building to get it if there was a fire. There would also be two extinguishers, one chemical and one water. Nitpicking!

crazyrichard Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 hey guys thnx !!! and well yes the fire extinguisher issue sounds logical yes didnt really put in a lot of thought , well maybe i will scratch some new ones (this one was from the fujimi kit) yesterday i made a standing closet / file ... upstairs most of my pictures are shot in the evening when its dark , while im building on some the weathering might come across real extreme .. now i do want a dirty and lived garage but this pics i took when i came home just now and are lighter .. on these you can see its not that extreme at least thats what i think you should see the garage at my work (transport company and maintenance of big machines and loaders) thats 3 times as dirty hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 wel i got stuck a bit , i want to add more machines but i have this massive floorspace but putting them on the floor would look wird maybe .. so i'm planning to make a stone wall in the middle of the garage with a wide passage door , hen on both sides i can place more machines and stuff .. thats the issue when you start building without a plan lol so for now continued some smaller details > put 2 small speakers on the hanging cabinet and under the cabinet i made a head-unit > on the rolling work / parts table i hung a dirty cloth (on the handle) > and made 2 wooden shelfs next to the wall cabinet made the base and iside of the cup on the cabinet black and put a 300 sl badge on the wooden shelf , not real hotrod but i liked it.. car nuts like more cars then hotrods only made the wood draker and stained it btw my garage isnt your maintenance type its more like so-cal , just a speedshop where they build rods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 made a lower small wall from styrene with brickwork on it , maybe i will make a second one , this alows me to build more amchines and place them there and create like a machine shop area but still keep a overall clear vieuw first draft / base wood on top some wood stain and wall weathering , the white edges will get some paint as well some pics with staff and rod , the glossy clothes on the staff is due to halogen lighting above the rable , that makes everything shine irl they are not glossy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Charger Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thats a great garage I must start my own one day ! Are you going to have a hubcap wall a number plate wall? that would be cool I think mayby above the trophy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
