How much longer do we have to post pictures of our zombie hunters.

I will be there Randy

Those front lego tires really work on this. I have a set of those and have yet to find something they work with, but this really works.

Very nice.

Very nice. I have a couple of these I am wanting to get started on.

I really enjoy these different kind of builds. It just gives people something a little different to feast there imaginations on. Very nice job, and keep up the good work.

Found this at a museum here in town. Evel Kneivel had this caddilac built into a pickup so he could haul his motorcycle to his event. Thought this was pretty cool to share with you guys.

That is pretty sweet man.

This looks like the LORA CROFT, TOMB RAIDER Jeep. They are very nice tires and wheels.

Slam that puppy.

Anthony that is sweet. Keep up the good work man.

I could totally see GM building one of these.

Looking good man.

Thanks guys, that is a good idea for the diorama base. I actually have long short dresser in my toy room that the top is coming lose. I thought if I take the top off and turn it over and do my diorama with removable pieces on that side and when I'm done I can take everything off and turn the top over so it looks nice. Thank you Maynard that tutorial will help out a lot to redo my door.

Thanks Junior, and no Jim I glued two everfreen strips to a piece of styrene sheet and then cut around it later on. I tried using channel, but I couldnt get two seperate pieces to shape exactly the same.

Here is a couple more, and 1 of the door (it is still drying, so I didnt want to turn over). The door will have a little more detail to it once it dries.

Thanks for the info Maynard. That will help me out alot. I really like your garage and your shed. Could you give a little tutorial on how you built your side door, I am really digging it. Here is where I am at so far. I finished the door railing and am now glueing the hinges to the door. I had problems with putting too much glue on my hinges and glueing them shut so they wouldnt move, so I had to do it all over again. I had also finished up all the siding and most of the trim. I am waiting on more balsa to finish trim and a few other exterior things before I shingle and paint. I am still not sure what I am goint to do for a floor. I really want to do a full diorama with a small yard and gravel driveway, but I dont have enough room to store it or to show it off.

I am starting to make progress on roll up garage door, but it is putting up a heck of a fight. I will post a couple pics when I get off work.

I am really digging the color and the antannas. Nice work man

Well Jim I havent really decided on a floor yet. I am still not sure what I am going to do about roof as far as shingles or steel roof. I thought about shake shingles, but I triesd a couple rows of them , and it just doesnt look right. Shardik, I am going to put fire blocks between the studs, but I am out of balsa studs and hobby lobby wont be getting any in for a week or so. If anyone has any ideas on a roof or a floor I would be interested in hearing them. my friend came to the house the other day and when he knocked my eight year old daughter answered the door. He asked where her dad was at and she said, He is down stairs playing with his doll house. You gotta love kids dont ya. I dont think my buddy is gonna let me live it down.

I decided to put an entry door in the rear. Let me know what you think.

Yes I do wonder if I should have gone wider, and I also wonder if I should have gone a little smaller in size, and if I should have made my peak shorter and I am still kicking myself in the butt for not putting a side door on. This is my first diorama ever, and as fun as this one is I will be definately be building another one more up to scale and planning ahead a little better than I did this one. This build was kind of just off the top of my head winging it kind of project.

I finally got the front and rear of the peak up and put siding on. I have alot to do to get rid of all the gaps in the siding. I am also going to extend the front and rear of the roof out more and add soffet and facia (not sure if thats how you spell it, but oh well). I had also added 2 more windows on second photo. My ferret (Willy) convinced me that I really need to get a garage door on to keep the varments out.

Thanks guys for all the information on garage door and helpful hints. I ran into a little problem though. I am starting to run out od balsa stripping and I bought Hobby Lobby out of that size I need. I may have to make an hour trip to the other nearest Hobby Lobby.
