added some steel pins on the poster you asked it clayton so i just made a splash plate , i put a layer of clear glue on it and sanded real aluminium above it so the flakes stuck on it , kind of looks like lube with alu flakes , then made a few bigger flakes from real alu -

well guys the hardest part for me was to get some signs on the wall and make it fit the atmosphere and not look to much like i glued on some random posters .. i tried , printed and .... so many signs posters , shoplogos .. everything i then held against the wall was like nooo not nice .. but tonight i printed this awsome old chassis poster and i liked it above the benchcabinet ... then soon i got the idea to put loose signs on top of the cabinet and i loved that .. creates depth and just looks cool ... the chassis poster is just paper with clear tape layer and the small signs on the benchcabinet are glued on copperplate -

used a chain of 0,5mm and made a tumbler to change the position of the shutters on some pics it looks big but thats the close up put the heater on the wall , the hole next to it was originally ment to be the smoke outlet ... that was not thought through so i changed it into a fresh air vent .. real mesh inside and you can see through .. the smoke outlet pipe is just loose and rough .. that needs work , will be silver with brakets to the wall supporting it the tumbler and chain on looks real big but thats really the close up picture to fix the chains i glued them on a small metal pin so its like hung on the wall and can be slided off to work the shutters what i ment on a normal distance and how you would see it irl . it looks normal (chain size) now betetr pics will follow when i finished the smoke pipe -

the matte green was dry enough so i painted the gass inlet copper and made a reznor logo in photoshop then magic .. the paint is army green (rattle can) i knew what this does with some clear , the tone changes more to green and it always looks soo deep , only gave it one coat and that will be a tad less shiney after drying .. doesnt need to shine too much when thats dry tomorrow i will wash the pannellines with black -

since its freezing outside i needed to start on some heating (lol) looked at some old reznor haters and started my own fantasy version somewhat similair to the reznors without copying it exactly used a plastic box , with a old window blind plastic plate glued on top in a v shape so it fits in the corner ..... the pipe in the corner i already glued in .. its gassline then sawes in some lines and scribed them to make like loose panels glued in a smaller box below and added a front , its made from boxes used in a lab for testing or something like that .. its a very weird type of plastic opened the front to later add movable lamels to direct the heat .. made a upper edge in the hole from a old plastic rails thingy pipe for the gass .. and a smoke outlet a round thing to make it more real very loose test fit ..its hanging on the black straw so not sitting right -
ooh yes this one also gopt deleted .. nice start , i will follow this

i made and added a > genius at work sign .. i thought a less serious sign would be cool again .. changed the sign next to the rolling door , this one makes it more serious , the hotrod oil sign was a bit to corny ... in the trashcan at the bech i added a creased flyer of a indian cycle event overall dio in good lighting 2 shots with the a ford in good lighting so you can seeall the details about half way done i recon ... still need to make so much > fire extinguishers , watercooler , chairs , tools and more garage related things .. and more ...
