thnx guys !! yesterday i made a welder table with vice ... the top is made of aluminum sheet and bend in one piece to get thick edges .. legs are styrene ...all rusted up .... made that so i could use it to pile up parts and tools and make the empty space there filled and detailed .. started with a blower and scoop and some hub caps and mic. parts .. would be cool to ad more smalls later ..

i see , i would just use very thin round styrene or maybe something else you can find ......brackets from thin sheet of alu or copper or just styrene .. should look great i layed a square box version along the walls to distribute the power ....thought it would be something different and because i made a lot of machines later on an never had a plan that worked best for me at the time

hmm wiring .. i myself used thin wire .. and a superthin hollow styrene tube ... so i made a small square piece from flat sheet plastic (old window blinds but you can use styrene or whatever) ... then drilled a hole in the middle of the flat square plate ...glued the wire in the hollow round styrene tube , cut to the right side so it looked like a plug and glued that into the hole in the flat sheet ... then glued that to the wall and it looked like a plugged in .........in a wall socket ... i also have some wires from machines loose on the ground , not plugged in .. to make it look like the metal thingy's that slide in where there i glued in thin tiny pieces of small needle pins ... here > like on the angle grinder and the battery loader in front of the lift on the column .. i made a outlet with plugged in extension cord .. and a running light plugged into that here you can see the machines plugged in and then you might understand my explanation better of the flat squares with styrene round and a wire together found a pic from earlyer in the build so you see the pin and if you want to make airhose if you pull it tight around a round stick or ... and pull it tight it will stay like this > maybe for a compressor hope you can use these grts richard

nice ! i like it ! i have a few good idea's for you !! when you print a sign for the wall ... take clear tape .. / see through tape .. and stick that on your print .. after that cut it out to size .. this gives you a little bit of shine to the sign and a tad of depth .. all my signs have that and it really brings it from a paper look to a more realistic look .. also works great > print sign > put double sided tape on the back > clear tape on the front > cut to size and stick on the wall when i make like a tin sign .. i put clear tape on the front and back of the print and then glue it to a thin piece of metal or copper plate .. the tape protects the print so the glue wont go in the paper and affects the print .. then i bend it a bit to get the look of a sign ... and even using a thin piece of styrene > plastic under the print to get it spaced of the wall a bit gives it more depth now you printed the overhead door .. looks pretty nice but if you print that door and cut out the sections wich would fold when it go's up , then stick them on a thin piece of styrene clear plastic over them .. and glue the sections on the wall with a tiny half mm seam in between it really looks like it could fold .. then some strips on the side where they "run" in ... just some enthousiastic idea's .. i think would make it even more realistic and wuld not be that much more work

shot > played with the light and some more brown tone

love your work !!!!

thnx guys !!

thnx guys ! and rich .. cars are no problem .. just take some and put them in .. i have mechanics .. so maybe a few pics with cars and mechanics soon ?!! my idea is to put in a chassis on jack stands .. maybe with some suspension and brake dics .. like its been build up

last set

part 2

since all of the facebook pics wont show on forums , here are some fresh ones .. i added a lot of smalls , some toolboxes , welder , weathered the walls a bit with black powder .. needs more details

cool !

thnx !!

after a long break .. started again ... covered the top edges of the wall with hardwood as a nice finish and its in the theme of the inside of the garage then decides the outside needed a nice finish as well , made window frames the walls are painted white as a base coat , not sure what to cover them with , brick or wood or painted ...back wall window is not finished and the rolling door will get some framing as well some atmosphere shots

thumbs up , love it

nice work .. awsome
