TomA Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Looking good Jim. Sh1t, how big is that garage diorama you have the cars in? Bloody HUGE!
Ron L Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Looking good Jim. Sh1t, how big is that garage diorama you have the cars in? Bloody HUGE! I wish I had room for a garage like that. Our real garage is small enough as it is. Maybe a hanging deal like the railroad guys do? Hmm..
envious8420 Posted June 13, 2009 Author Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) IT IS A BIG ONE AIN'T IT. Thanks for the comments guys! Hanging might be the way to go. might help keep down on the dust too. Heres some better outside pics for ya! just need to finish up a few bits and its done. Edited June 13, 2009 by envious8420
