whale392 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Craig; gotta tell you that the Chevelle up on the jackstands shots just look REAL! Your garage scene is very much realistic in almost every way. Awesome work; I will be looking to your work when I get ready to do my garage.

mannyclub Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thanks guys!! Had some time tonight to make the inside of the one of the lights that will remain open. Working on gettin that 572 in that camaro. Thanks for looking! Manny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookedonplastics Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Craig, this is just fantastic! I love the look of the exposed light tubes. And I have to mimic Greg......How did you pull off the realistic fresh grinding on the Chevy's quarter panel?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyclub Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 thanks Russ, I used K&S .005 aluminum sheet and cut to shape then just glued it on in some spots. I traced out the quarter panel on the aluminum then just cut it out. Manny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 That's a really cool idea! How often do garage scenes have a ceiling that's actually a part of the display? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTEAZA Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Talk about taking it to a new level,this is nice work.Can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyclub Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks guys! Thought I would do a 572 block (like a crate type engine) to sit next to a car being built and the engine that is going in that car. I just used some black guitar wire for the studs. Still have to sand the tops of them and paint black. Little touch up work and add a few more things to the engine and should be done. Thanks for looking.

Tony-442 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Hello modeler's! From my previous post on my old diorama, this is the new one im building. All wip pics will be in this thread and updated when I get more done etc. The shop looks clean right now but will get messy during time thats for sure, I mean...its a body shop! lol Still have to put in the interior walls etc and lots more work and stuff to do. The drop ceiling will have molding around the top also. This one is gonna be fun to do! Im goin to add a front section on also for parking with a small fenced in area... Thanks for looking.. Manny Wow... I thought that was a real room at first... just a guy falling down in the photo...lol Great Job!!

mannyclub Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Well just a small update... I figured out where I want the compressor to be so I can start running the air lines etc soon. Still working on the interior walls. I started to get the shop alittle messy by adding some sanded bondo on the floor around where the Impala is being worked on also. More updates soon! Thanks for looking Manny Edited January 25, 2012 by mannyclub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHamilton Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Interior ceilings are hardly ever modeled, especially in such a large shop - what a GREAT touch! Whatever you photograph in this diorama is going to look SUPER realistic. Fantastic job, Manny!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyclub Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks Ken!! Yea i have never seen one before, I built a few other dio's and made the same ceiling. I like it mostly for taking pictures in, your right though it does give a realistic affect I belive. Manny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
