Did you make the two post hoist and the engine hoist from scratch?

No, I wish haha. They're from the Fujimi Tools kit

Cool stuff, nicely done

[Tyler62990]

I got a bit more done since my last post. I got a good start on the garage and I'm callinthe office, bathroom and outside just about done, for now anyway. I wanted to really bring everything to life so I also started working on some figures and giving them little jobs around the shop. Sorry for the bad pics, all I have is my phone. Here's What I have so far:

The office:

Trophies came from four of the Revell Merc kits. I thought the chrome looked REALLY gaudy so they were stripped, painted and decaled. The little cars came from the AMT 57 T bird and 32 Lil Vicky kits, also stripped and painted. Gas pump is a cheapo from Ebay. Who doesn't want a Caddy gas pump?

Bathroom:

Got the stall in, sink, toilet, etc. I thought the mop bucket would add a cool touch

Outside:

Old fencing is some screen and a lint trap. Cinder blocks are resin painted with Rustoleum texture paints. I love the results you get with these paints, the pictures just don't do it justice. Some tires, weeds, a few random parts and a tree made from a stick from the back yard finish it off. Truck is a Lindberg 34 Ford tow truck weathered using Sophisticated Finishes rusting system.

The garage:

Got a lot done here. Random parts, hanging valve covers and oil pans, some grills, a radio, and exhaust rack, and a overhead light are where I'm at so far

Neat. love this.

 

[crazyrichard]

[Tyler62990]

Thanks a lot guys. I'm just about done with the welder, after a lot of trial and error of course haha. Hopefully it all comes together and I'll have some pics in a couple days.

This is really inspiring. Love the weathering and all of the little details that bring this whole project to life. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the welder. I made a working trouble light in mine so a sparkling welder would be so cool.

Thanks again guys! I finally have this project just about done. I only say "just about done" because I built this shop to be changed at anytime, therefore very few things are actually glued down. Once it's finally in it's permanent home, I'll have some pics of the for now completed project. Until then, here's a pic of the welder working. Since taking these pics, I changed out that horrible looking yellow light for the appropriate blue/white combo. If I find a way to post a video of it working, I will, along with the pictures I mentioned
