Kaleb Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Looks great, I've been wanting to build a shop but I don't think my wife will let me use her desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Gotta get your own desk man, if you got the room for it. I have a pretty large shop, ALL to myself. I do need a bigger desk though. It's been cleaned up since these pics were taken. I'll also be getting a Pace paint booth in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have mine but I don't have a place to leave it yet. We're looking for a place to live so I can have room to work on my 1:1s as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Decided to work on the dio a little today. Picked up some doors and windows from the train section on Ebay. Might add a plate glass window, not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatManScaleDesigns Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 This garage is really turning out great. Good job James, I wish my skill allowed me to do something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thanks for the words of encouragement guys, it means a lot. Alberto, I have NO skill. I just build it the way I see it in my head. Obviously it's been a SLOW process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatManScaleDesigns Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 LOL but if you rushed it it wouldn't have came out so good. Do you have a link to where you got the doors and Windows from? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTMust Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 James... not to be a "buttinski".... but either Ken was thinking your pictures of your "office" was a model..... or his comments were tongue in cheek, or maybe..... I'm just going senile! Of course... if it was a model......... !!!!!! LOL Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
