I really like this. Taking model kits and showing them off exactly for what they are plastic models. I was thinking about doing something similar with a junkyard dio.

Cool...I guess the only tools they'd need is a big tube of glue in the corner!!

Being a custom shop, a tube of putty as well, I suppose!! wink.gif

Well done.... great idea!

I've been trying to figure out a way to do the OH garage doors on my two car garage dio. You appear to have done it! Can you show me how you managed it?

Well , its a very cheap dio , but here go's. The doors are friction fit, they hold themselves in, so I just put a small wooden dowel across the inside top , spaced wider than the thickness of the door and mounted a hook I made out of a paper clip on the inside roof beam

then you just slide the door in over the dowel and it rests in the hook. good luck.

That's ingenious! Thanks for showing this smart idea. Now I'll see if I can adapt it to my dio.

I've seen your dio's yours will look alot better than this!! Hope it helps.

Very neat concept and a nicely-executed concept.

What did you construct the building walls from? It appears to be corrugated plastic or cardboard?
