My Garage, Under Construction

Here's my reposted garage facade..

My garage name will be Project 5Five, paying a small tribute to Project Four Racing which was founded by McLaren boss Ron Dennis. It ran in junior fomulas and also the BMW M1 Procar championship until it was folded into McLaren F1. Hence, MP4-xx for their car designations.

Overall Layout with my nearly completed R-33:

this is simply wall filling, spackle, whatever you call it textured with a styrofoam block.

thanks Richard! I have the long wall painted the base red oxide, now I have to go back and paint the individual bricks. I'm also going to paint a few more bricks on the short wall as I feel there are too many red oxide bricks. The base has been painted, I just have not photographed it yet.

Hey guys! Over the past month I've made substantial progress. It took a very long time to make the brick walls and then paint them! Many nights were spent watching TV and painting bricks. Then there was the decorative concrete base at the walls, the door, and waiting for the signs to come in. I was disappointed one day to find that the base and the long wall had -for some reason- warped. So I had to spend some time working the base back straight. So, here is she about 90% complete. I still have to finish the concrete base, add a wash to the door,add grass to the border of the long wall, and generally touch the whole project up.

Apparently the file size is 45kb now, so standby for photobucket pics..

Well, I'll go through photobucket since the file size limit for some reason is 45kb (cue Ben Stiller: "Is this a post for ants!?) For those of us who don't want to look at a tiny dot of a picture, here's my way of saying bigger is better:

And a few of the "normal" sized pictures...
