scale garge 1/10 1/8

[semijoe]

hey guys
here a scale gararge ive been working on

ive been wanting to build something like for awhile, so i figure i give it shot .
ive started by buying a peice 1/4 inch styrene, this way i can bolt stuff to the floor.
right now im waiting the floor covering and the wall covering to come in, in the mean while
i started to build a working truck lift. fr the main post ive used 1 inch square stock with 2 actuators in them .
ive purchased a snap on toll box , which is really kool and highly detailed, also fun a reall kool engine hoist.
ive fun some other stuff too. i believe everybody will like what ive in mine . the truck lift is going to really kool when done
so lets get started

all the legs spread out and extend and the feet can be adjusted in height . she works great. time for detailing it and a ramp

[semijoe]

the wall is brick but the white floor is causing a glare where you cant see it in the picture,,,, the floor im waitng to come in, this week . this should knock out the glare.


i painted the engine hoist and man did it come sweeeeet!

floor is in , time to start painting the lift


i started on a tire / shelf rack. it plastic on the out but alum square stock on the insides

tire rack and shelf is done, ive made the legs adjustable too

i just start on the largers scale trucks and having alot of fun with them, so i figure i build a garage to. im really happy with it , thanks man

so looking at the garage i wanted to do more then what room i have , so what i did was made a second floor, same wdith,but i will no backer .so i will use this part and slide in front of the other, so this way i can have 2 different views

had to order more flooring

[semijoe]

i worked on a contol panel and oil tank for the truck lift, heares what i have so far

[semijoe]

added some paint and airhose with impact gun

[semijoe]

just in case there is a spill, i drilled 2 holes and put a drain grate . also the floor came in and i ran out to finish it

[semijoe]

i started on an engine stand, everything will work on it. 1st i started on the base , made for styrene square stock. then i cut some solid alum rod and inserted in the framing



next i drill holes for 4 caster wheels . i made these from brackets i had laying around. and for the wheels i will use bearings off an r/c truck

[semijoe]

ok, caster wheels are on , tomorrow i will make the mounting head

[southpier]

wow. are the trucks radio controlled?

[semijoe]

[semijoe]

i just knowest that the neck on the engine stand is alittle to tall, i will have to cutan 1/2 inch out tomorrow

ive also built an aircompressor

[semijoe]

tody i made an transmission stand, it telescopes and adjust with cork screw up/down and the top plate adjusts to

[semijoe]

the rest of the floor came but its a little different. the rest of the floor i wanted to do like a show room typr thingy lol

the squares are a little bigger , has alike a smokey tint to it and ive added a mirror floor.

[semijoe]

i freind of mine email a picture of a oil drum with pump, it looked really kool to build , be a great item for the garage

[semijoe]
