the sign is on with a spacer now , glued so its done

thnx the clear coat was dry so i just cut the circle out .. and stuck it on the wall with some spit (letterly) haha just to see , so its not fixed yet ...maybe i will make a spacer so its a bit of the wall and some shade will show on the wall

this was the first idea that popped into my head when i read the question .. i would say if you bend clear tubing in the right way and maybe take the clear bathroom sealant you can make like a more watery effect on the clear tubing

thnx guys !! the logo after 3 hand brushed layers of clear varnish > then sprayes a thick layer of gloss clear (rattle can) on it , now on the pic its just been sprayed on and on the wall it will shine less , did this shot on purpose by the window and made the light hit it to show the gloss .. so in the garage it will be readable

small update ... i designed a new garage logo more suited for the style of this garage .. the lead sled side profil i actually got that of a picture of a black t-shirt i found on google used that in a red circle and added the richrods styrene garage text , just simple and clean , added a mild grain effect that helps to make it look a tad more realistic when printed out , not so static (?) looking then printed the logo out on the right size and glued it on a piece of plastic ... that now has one coat of gloss varnish (just hand brushed it on) , after drying (read after this post) i will give it a second layer .. maybe a 3th and 4th .. i will stop when it looks good .. when the coats are done i will cut the circle out and i can place it on the wall , will use a spacer so its not flat against the wall and that will create some shading and depth ps i was playing around with this logo and held it in front of the window in my house and realised that when i would print something > anything with white lettering on a colored surface and print it mirrored and place it backwards on a signholder and put lights in it it would really look so much like a light sign .. will try stuff like that later

love it !!

thnx thnx yes i finally broke though my summer / build dip

thnx and no this one will be more shiney ... if i use weathering it would be very very minimal ...its hard not to go wild on weathering because i just love to do that but no ... shiney

NICE

love it , i always find it facinating how a tiny diorama can look so good

nice !

i'm a succer for customs like this , love it and yes the backdrop / picture dio is still looking great as well

thnx kenneth now thinking where i can get some nice material to use as glass windows .. packaging stuff ususally isnt bright enough , good for a weathered diorama but on this one i need crisp windows .. oh well i'm sure i will find something

just finished the rest of the windows and added the stands below at the wall , those are just there because i only had short pieces of the ribbed stuff , so i hat to hide some seams , later with dres up and benches / machines .. it will tie in i think

thnx

thnx guys and yes well maybe only a black and white tile floor where the office / chill earea will be . all over might be a bit over the top ... i just made the first wooden surround in the window openings , later i will make windowframes with windows , maybe make them so they are a tad opened ..

whell got a lot done today , started to dress it up with hardwood and stained the wood .. looks real classy .. this made me think .. i need a shiney floor now ?? stylewise it could even be a rich mans mancave garage ..??

thnx guys , well went for kind of the 60's style ... made a checkered edge ... not really my style , i just love the old buildings and weathered stuff .. but i just wanted to make something different this time ... printed the checkers in the right size on regulair a4 paper cut them out and glued them on the wall , the left side in the pic below has one coat of gloss clear over it , this really makes the black more black and gives it a shine ... later i will give them a second coat .. after this its sealed and doesnt look like paper anymore .. simple and cheap

my god that turned out like a real ........speechless
