Nice work! Great set up, and nice details in place...the work bench and tire rack caught my eye, in particular!

The models are nice, too!

as i build more kits these will be rotated out and the new ones in.

this is going to be more of a photo setting type deal

as my builds go through different phases they will be posed in the

right setting inside the shop.

hose and shop hoist.

i also hung the doors on the paint booth.

[Tony T]

That hoist is too frickin' cool!!! Nice!

[envious8420]

yeah i "enjoy playing with my wood" according to my wife.

[Tony T]

HA! Great to have a supportive wife with a sense of humour!!

The time stamp on your pictures is deceiving though...5 years off...your VCR doesn't flash 12:00 does it (Just joking with ya!)

Just noticed the puddle under the hose faucet...nice touch! The dust on the compressor is cool...you almost need some hosed off by the leaky tap! I'll have to snap a couple of updates on my garage...at least the front is almost done! The inside will take some time, and you've given me some ideas to work at in the meantime!

[Mal.au]

That compressor is to cool

Must admit when I looked at the first two pics I thought what the hell is that

Great Job

yeah the first few pics of that compressor i was thinking.. is that what i think it is. you better build a protective guard around that pulley, all you need is a scaled down guy from osha to come and shut you down for unsafe moving equipment. i like the paintbooth idea though, never thought about making a shop with one.

[envious8420]

lol osha

[Tony T]

Looks good...simple, yet effective! Well done!

[envious8420]

thanks!

wow, these last pics are very deceiving! Very realistic!!

I wish I build cars, because I'd love to tackle a speed shop diorama. Heck, maybe I can do one anyway, and sell it to one of you guys or raffle it off or something.

what scale is this thing??
