The Hollywood Garage

Hey guys, here is my next project. I’m already a few weeks into this project so I will post some progress pictures in the next few days so you can catch up to where I am in the building process.

My inspiration is this drawing I found on the H.A.M.B. Forum, drawn by Jeff Norwell.

I want to do a 1/25th scale garage diorama all in black and white except for the car. The car will be the only thing in color.

I did some mock-ups so I could see what it would look like and determine the size of things.

I started with the car. The garage will depict a scene from around 1957. The car will be a period correct 32’ Ford. Something like this:

The first thing was to create a correct stock frame. A stock frame is pictured on the bottom. I started with the Revell frame on the top. In the middle is the Revell frame with some modifications.

Yeah that's it, except the body of the car will be red.

Hey ! How did you do that? Make everything black and white except the car... ?

Yeah, just a quick job in Photoshop. I sloppily highlighted the car and cut it, Then converted the photo to black and white and pasted the car back in.

Should be fun building the garage in B&W!
