Hi Andy,that brick work is way cool,How did you do that?I think your doing a fine job...

[andyteal]

Hey Stan thanks what I did for the brick work was. I started with a sheet of foam insulation the blue one its an in thick I think using a t square I measured a 1/4 in vertical for the the lines the actual brick width is a 1/2 in then I just drew the lines in with a pencil and I used water based airbrush paint for the color just kinda put a dot of about 5 different colors and smeared it all together then let it dry some just so it was a little tacky then I dumped regular flower on it rubbed it in to fill the cracks with "concrete" and that's it

Beautiful walls .. amazing they are scribed!

[andyteal]

Well thanks guys and crazy Richard I got the brick idea from your hot rod garage that was amazing I don't want to copy it but I just liked the look of brick so much you do great work

[Baugher Garage]

That's a brilliant technique for the brick! Very clever and it turned out great! This is looking really cool Andy!

the brick work is very convincing-you are off to a good start. good to see someone working the 1/18 die-cast. I love redoing these.

Well since were on the topic Richard the chain hoist you made is very cool and I was thinking of making one I have the chain but I'm lost on how you made the pulley system I didn't even realize that you had made one but it was slow at work tonight so I was looking at your garage again and seen that you had made one

[crazyjim]

Looking pretty good.

Did a little more today put up a door its a sliding door I wanted to do an overhead door but maybe I can put one some were else as you can I put channel in the floor and on the wall I'm going to paint them still and then I made the doors out of styrene sheet sanded them and painted them a few different colors and airbrushed the straight lines

[crazyrichard]

hi , about the pulley that was just a old lego rim , and some BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH plastic .. i didnt even put in a lot of effort .. just find something round ... or you could look up some on the web ..

mine was just fantasy .. i didnt use reference and made that last minute when i took it to a yearly builders fair from a big dutch forum
