George Bojaciuk Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Just wanted to update you on the progress of my own product, Esler's Garage. I just got a first painted sample from China and thought I'd share it with you. Remember, this is their first attempt to try to do what I would do. Needless to say, I already have a bunch of corrections planned. There is more weathering to be done as well as more detailing. The roof will go to a steel look and the pumps and building itself will have deco. I'm attaching 2 pics, one as it arrived and one with a very quick cut and paste. I'm only making 125 pcs and I'm looking to keep the cost around $100 with a cap of $150. This all depends what my final cost will be yet. The garage will include two detailed figures and it lights up under the canopy.
George Bojaciuk Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 Dimensions will be 10" x 10" x 28" roughly. When I finish working on it, I'll post final shots.
Jason Rothgeb Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Dimensions will be 10" x 10" x 28" roughly. When I finish working on it, I'll post final shots. Any idea on a tentative release date so I know how long I have to save up my pennies and dimes? This is a great idea! A backdrop to photograph my models has always been a "one of these days" project for me for years, but it has not really jumped to the forefront because I'm not really interested in building a diorama, I would just like to have a nice backdrop to photograph my models in. To have a turnkey or partially assembled alternative that looks this cool is wonderful! Your excellent musclecar book, the idea to sell a 1/24 lift, individual diecast muscle car components for modelers to kitbash, and now this. This may sound corny and make me look like a fanboy, but the car model hobby has certainly benefitted from your efforts over the years. I'm looking forward to your latest.
George Bojaciuk Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) I'm alive and well! Jason, thanks for the very kind words! I'm doing the final deco and hope to have the corrections in by next week. I'm hoping for a Summer release. My plan is to do many different scenes that accent a model, not overpower it.
