Here is a hot rod garage I did a few years ago.

[Chuck Most]

I'm literally just starting my first one, still in the 'parts gathering' stage at this point...

[Mercman]

Here's a WIP. First up the shop.

Next up is the storage garage.

Chuck, you are gathering some wonderful parts. Keep it going. About time you put your rides in a photo op base. NIce.

[my name is nobody]

my first attempt at a 1/25 scale garage.

still a work in progress.

occasionally I will stumble upon an item that is a good fit.

so the new item is added, sometimes an older item is taken away, somtimes not.

I started with an old wine crate (Penfold's grange) because it is very sturdy. gathered a few odds & ends from the parts box, AMT made the coca cola machine. and got a GMP Lift.

still have a box of GMP accessories unopened for this garage.

And the exterior of the wine crate still needs to be detailed.

After reading the first post, I was going to post a few pix of Darryl's shop that I absconded but he beat me to it. So much to look at and well worn. It is absolutely my favorite shop build and it only has two walls.

Another great thread, Romell. Here's one of my older ones....

Wow. There's some really nice dioramas showing up here.

[Romell R]

Very Nice fellas lots of nice weathering goning on and thats what I think the key to a successful dio is. I have the parts I need comming (was able to make a really good deal with a buddy here on the forum for the parts) now I just need to make them look realistic. I also noticed that placement is important to realisum . looks like i'll be doin alot of reserch for my shop build.

[BOSWELL891]

Here's my first and only dio not all that great but I like it, this picture isn't current it looks a little different now.

[hvymtl]

If i may throw my two cents in google Wilco. a very VERY good master of the diorama from Europe.

he has a few really awesome Dio's

Although the work here is really top rate .

Mr. Hamilton - your work has so much detail that small pictures are so hard to study. Do you have larger pictures some place where one could study for hours?

Romell,

Thanks for your kind comments about my Diorama. Here it is with a '34 Ford that I just finished. First completed model

in 40 years.

Thanks for posting that Chuck. I only took the time to look at the pictures and I was there over an hour. Amazing!!

Thanks for the link Ken. I just knew you'd have a photo album of this wonderful build.
