kilrathy10 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I finally got around to building a rudimentary diorama... Not much by way of equipment on the inside, but I made a tile floor and built the building out of scrap pieces of cabinet wood I had around.... I added some lighting, as well... I've got a few more things I'd like to add, but this is the gist of it all.... I, definitely, will add some figures here and there, soon....Thanks for looking....

And where does the red widebody Hellcat came from? Thanks, Buddy... The dio is all 1/24 scale, and the Hellcat is a Motormax issue... Got them at Walmart in 2019... They can still be had at diecastmodelswholesale.com On 1/27/2021 at 8:52 PM, DRIPTROIT 71 said: Looks great JT!! Are those orange tile I see in that shop?? Thank you, Man... Yep...

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 That's a lot better than my first attempt, which thankfully is forgotten to distant time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 You must have some popular mechanics. You have run out of parking space. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterNNL Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 My only suggestion would be to unclutter it as the garage sort of disappears in all the vehicles. I guess it could be free beer night 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Great work on the shop. I love the hand lettering on the sign, it gives the place a small-town feel. The parking lot is a bit busy though. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Ram Club Cab, did you stretch the truck to a Club Cab? Or were you able to buy it somewhere? If you stretched it, great job. It looks like you bought it somewhere.

There are way more 1/24 scale offerings in modern cars and trucks than in plastic... It's true 1/24 scale, too... It was the Muhammed Ali Action/Brookfield Collectors Guild Nascar show truck model.... Bill Elliot.... Way more for your money... Got tired of base model snappers with no mirrors that cost way more than they're worth... Trust me... Repainting this thing was WAY harder than building up one of those 1/25 scale AMT Dodge models... And looks so much better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
