landman Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Many of you have seen my shop diorama which consists of a garage/restoration shop, an engine rebuilding shop complete with dyno room and receiving area.
landman Posted October 13, 2020 Author Posted October 13, 2020 Later on I had used a photo of a local building to depict the front of the establishment.
landman Posted October 13, 2020 Author Posted October 13, 2020 Now I want to do a "behind the shop" scene loosely based on fellow member Geoffrey Wallace. A piece of plywood and the center panels of some cabinet doors provided the starting point. Gave a first coat of "cement" to the yard
Anglia105E Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Good start, Pat...... and this ' Behind the Shop ' diorama base looks a good size too. Looking forward to seeing your progress with this one. David

Anglia105E Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 The garage diorama that I just completed, in 1:43 scale is 12" x 36" x 9" David

landman Posted October 17, 2020 Author Posted October 17, 2020 Working on the roof overhang and the siding. the siding will be held in place by some two-sided tape.
landman Posted October 22, 2020 Author Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Working on the end panel. Brick, stucco (sandpaper) and siding. Ended up removing the sandpaper. Edited October 22, 2020 by landman Forgot the pics.
Anglia105E Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 The end panel looks really good from the inside, Pat......... you seem to be well organised at this early stage! David
landman Posted October 24, 2020 Author Posted October 24, 2020 The end panel has its brick, door , signage etc. i even gave it a sky although I doubt any pictures would show it.
landman Posted October 24, 2020 Author Posted October 24, 2020 Used the hooded bulletin board from one of the Fujimi garage sets to make a notice board. Added a fluorescent light to it. A couple of plugs, pins and beads will turn into lamps.
landman Posted October 24, 2020 Author Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) The shelf stand will likely hold some trannies. Edited October 25, 2020 by landman
Sixties Sam Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Great work on all of these! Very realistic! Sam
landman Posted October 28, 2020 Author Posted October 28, 2020 Coming together. The tranny rack will have an overhang roof over it. I have to figure something for the bottom of the overhead door. I may remove it and repaint it as the red came through the aluminum paint.
Anglia105E Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 I like this view of your building, Pat...... Already you have achieved a high degree of realism. David D
Dominik Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 well done so far. looks realistic with all the signs and textures
landman Posted November 17, 2020 Author Posted November 17, 2020 Danke Dominik. I've added a "steel" plate at the bottom of the roll-up door and a "cement" pad in front of the man door. Also laying out the shelter for the transmission rack.
landman Posted November 17, 2020 Author Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) The shelter is composed of square styrene tubing, sprue, popsicle sticks and a sheet of stiff paper. It will receive the same corrugated "siding" as the side of the builsing. Edited November 17, 2020 by landman
