RCScaler Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hello everyone! New to the forum and new to the diorama hobby! I’ve been into RC cars, car models and the scale realism of them since I was a young boy, and now I’ve decided to take things a bit further with building a ‘somewhat’ 1/10 scale garage! I say somewhat because I didn’t try to scale everything to 1/10 but did the best I could with materials I could find around the house and things bought inexpensively from a hardware store. The entire thing is mostly made of wood and some vinyl stickers. Hoping to learn more as time goes by, like how to make realistic looking concrete and bricks instead of just using stickers! I’m posting this in the finished dioramas, but I keep thinking of more I can do to it lol, can’t slow down a creative mind! Will post more pics as I add more!! Thanks for looking!!! greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dptydawg Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Excellent job on the shiplap walls and the electrical system. Nice job of blending your wire rack shelving into the ceiling. You can always add more stuff to a Garage dio. There really is no end point. Great work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I don't think you need to worry about tips and tricks. You seem to have your diorama well under control. Looks great! Your floor and brick wall especially. Although...your mechanic looks a little on the short side. 😋 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in search of a better replacement! And thanks, this is the first time I’ve endeavored this deeply into dioramas and Im enjoying it so much. It’s great to get all and this positive feedback from everyone aswell! 😁😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
