Middle Budget Race / Fab Shop

[Ian McLaren]

This project started out as a 27" x 16" X 13" high white feature less shelf.  I have no photos of it at that stage and as this is a perminate feature none will be forth coming.  It needed to be at least this size to properly photograph 1/16th scale modes (its primary purpose).  It was not intended to be a detailed model in itself, just a back drop void of full scale tools and windows.  Along the way I had aquired a few shop pieces from previous projects, nothing major but it was a start.  Now the shop is getting life of its own and I find myself adding more and more items to enhance the illusion.  How far this will go is anybodies guess but I think it will become far more than first intended.  This photo is the most basic picture I have of the space being used, the green door is just a green file folder cover, everything shown are parts left over from previous model projects except the tool box which I printed from Ron Olsens STL files.  The work bench scratch built from left over model railroad materials and the black set of drawers are a leftover from a Hotwheels formula 1 set.

Be careful, these get out of hand pretty quickly. I blew WAY over my original $100 budget because it was so much fun.
