crazyrichard Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) thnx guys , came home and the paint on the table was dry , so i glued on the glass top and added a chrome center piece , not because of the glue , no you could not see the glue was under the glass , i just didnt like the center and thought it looked nice with a tad of real chrome dont mind the champion box that was a test for something else , i wont use this size in this dio Edited September 1, 2014 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) yeah could be .. now really thinking about the direction i want to go in..sure i like it but i'm getting further from just a nice garage i wanted to make ...i could have easely made a diner loli have to watch out i'm not going overboard on the 50's furniture and make like a too staged whole ...you know ? like i want to get the rest looking more like a place where rods and custom come to life , get maintaned etc ...so i have to think about what i need to do stylewiselike either go 100% for the theme i have now or make the rest a tad less out there and more normal ... bit stuck on the whole overall feel and look Edited September 1, 2014 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I vote for mancave garage, Rich. All the customer garages I've been too don't like customers near the work area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Either way, you need a Rockola or Wurlitzer jukebox to set the tone in the waiting area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Mancave sounds cool, add a pinball machine, maybe big screen TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 after thinking about it for days and days .. i got stuck .. tonight i was sick of the fact i could not come up with something and i didnt like the look ... so i gathered a bunch of scrap wood and started building , no thinking just build , in no time i had this going on and the idea's started coming again !! so the white pillars are thick , nice and stirdy , the wooden edge gives me room to continue the theme with stained wood , white and the racing blocks also the wide edge makes room for some advertising signs and what not .. now later i will make windowframes in between the white pillars , a doorframe with opened door so scale wise thatw ill be good later on ... then i will add a ceiling on the office ..... that will give me the chance to put lighting in the office .... so in the office i will keep the floor . but scrap the 50's furniture idea , instead i will put in some archive cabinets with books , a desk ... some office stuff and what not .. so overall the garage will remain a cleaner one but with a more rough look , with rough i mean not the over the top 50's look with red bench and juke box etc .. looking back thats just not my thing for a dio .. one day i will do stuff like that but then i want to build a full diner / drive trough ...

crazyrichard Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 thnx already stainded the wood edge of the office and now i'm making a roll up door .. will post pics when thats in , not really working that fast atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) crappy pics but for the idea .... stained the wooden office edge , that will get more detail later on dont mind the door and window openings in the office , this is just the base i will make windowframes and a doorframe with a door and windows , in proportion so then it will fit the scale .. now those are just pillars with big open spaces that makes it look too big , so that will come together later on started on the rolling door rolled up part with chains , no electric door other wise they get lazy haha the door also need some guiderails on the inside of the opening Edited September 11, 2014 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
