Hi all,

I've not posted in this section before but I have looked at every page and the work I see here is INCREDIBLE. I don't really know anyone around here interested in models. I love this web site. Really cool to see a community of folks you can listen to, learn from and see everyone"s ideas. And again, INCREDIBLE !

Thought I would show a few pictures of something I have been working on in the winters. All comments, criticisms and suggestions are welcome. Pat me on the back or punch me in the gut. I can take it.

Enjoy

Very nice the only thing that I see wrong is how would you get a hemi lump out without an engine lift? :)

Thank you, working on a hoist. Almost done

Thats one grungy garage; I like it

Thank you

That is one of the best, well-used, garage dioramas that I've ever seen. The grunge and clutter, the wall insulation, the wood or coal stove...... everything is very well done and very realistic looking. You must have a LOT of time in on this.

Thank you very much.

I made the wall insulation by laying out my pattern out in a graphics program and printing it out on beige letterhead paper. Spray adhesive was used to attach to some pink felt. Took the sheet and crumpled it a few times and cut it into strips. Very easy

I made the stove from a piece of 3/4 inch plastic water line and a straw from McDonalds. Yes I have a lot of time in it. My cold weather project. 5 winters so far.

Thank you again
