    You sir are making magic! Great looking build so far, amazing as usual!

    Looking good! You’ll be out of control before you know it, haha. The kit I’m using has a plastic base, I found some gray paint I’m going to use, I like the way it looks on my sidewalks after some weathering.

    Got a little more done on the sidewalks. The edges are slightly curved, not rounded, but corners knocked down as well as I could without it looking strange ( to my eye anyway). I added expansion joints and dirtied them up in what I figured would be high traffic areas. Thanks for looking.

    Thanks, they are slightly rounded, still need more work, still roughing things in to get an overall feel.

    Thanks for the encouraging words? the rest of the sidewalk is roughed in..., finally..

    So, all along I’ve been thinking that the base of the actual garage was missing something, that something is the sidewalk like area that usually skirts the building . I started making those today, still have one side left to do, but these little guys have chewed up a lot of time today.....

    Well, I went and got some plywood to make the base of this growing out of control project, lol. Ended up with a foot print of 4 feet wide, 33 inches deep. This lets me position things like I wanted, also leaves some room behind the shop to put some stuff . More pics of the rough layout and how it will kind of look .

    Thanks for the input. I’ll have to find some and see what it looks like , then go from there , thanks again.

    Thanks, I used the same kits to build that one. Yours looks great as well.

    Breath taking........ wow that’s gorgeous!

    Thanks so much for the info, I’ll have to look into getting one of those. It’s not my normal kind of purchase, and most stuff I see like that is in a much smaller scale, so I was completely unaware such a thing existed. Thanks again.

    They had a great turnout, did anyone take pics while there?
  16. tbill
    It’s a touch small for what I have planned, but I think it’ll do. I didn’t realize you could get/or there ever was a 1/24 scale chopper....

    i totally dig that! cool build.

    Incredible comes to mind, what a fantastic build, well done sir!

    Picked this up the other day, it’s almost big enough to work as a flat bed load for one of my tractor trailer builds.

    As I’m working on my garage dio, I’ve decided I need a ‘lot’ to put it on. My dilemma now is how to replicate pavement/ black top. I had thought of either black sandpaper, or rubberized undercoat ( not sure how that would work out), what else is out there? I’ll be using plywood as the base if that makes a difference for any other products you may recommend. thanks, tom

    We almost have a tow truck for the shop.....

    Looks great from here! Nice build.
  24. tbill
    So, I picked up some paint today that I think will be suitable for the floor color, and a few more ideas popped into my head on what to do around the outside of the building , so even though no tangible progress, the wheels are spinning....

    Picked these up at a show yesterday, the bags have big rig tires in them and the blue packages are air cleaners
