rudimen Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 A garage diorama I made from styrofoam that was packed in a computer monitor box then weathered. With added signs, doors and junkers and junk parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 That's pretty cool. I'm guessing the gears in the drum came from clocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTMust Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Definitely unusual, interesting, a little weird, innovative, impressive, strange, and well executed! I'm liking it! Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 What sturck me so was the fact that this packaging is VERY VERY reminessesant of the "Origional " Sunoco cottages built on the eastern seaboard in the late 1920' s. All had a distinct "Humped " roof and were tiled in Slate , Blue . Go to the Hemmings Motor News site to see such a building .

Dr. Cranky Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Rudi, some great details on this build, including the coiled up hose and the faucet . . . very nice, and if you kept track of the expenses, you probably built this one with a very low cost. And now you can generate lots of eye candy for the rest of us to consume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyjunker1 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 it is realy cool and different and i would agree with cranky on the cost being low no more the $40.00 that was untill you dismantled the rolex to use the guts for the junk barrel. cost after that $14.500. great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagoneer81 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Ingenious! I've always said that the details are where you find them in the real world, but an entire building?!? That is soooo very cool! I'll never look at packing material the same way again... Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba930 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Very Good looking Dio. You did a Fantistic Job with this Set up, that type of Station was close to what we had around back in the 1940's as well. Grateful to you for sharing with us!! bubba930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruleworld Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 it looks great as the weathering makes it so realistic. i've often thought those packing rails could be used for something. the only thing i don't like it the out of scale leaf litter on the sides, it looks like bits of plush carpet. it stops the 'old wrecks' from looking like they've been there for a long time. i'd replace it with concrete or bare dirt with some odd bits of long grass.

Mark Crowel Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Definitely creative. It has an art deco look to it. Edited May 11, 2012 by Mark Crowel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
