garage model

[will71]

I found this basic garage model online by doing a google search. After I built it, it seemed kind of plain and boring, so I spiced it up by adding a bunch of other items to it. All of these can be found in different model kits found online. I just printed and built the ones that I wanted. For the books, I copied the covers from the internet, opened them in paint, and re-sized them by trial and error until they were about the right size. Same with the posters and tools.

Thanks for looking.

Great Diorama !

[Vermin_King]

Very nicely done. No, it isn't obvious what your favorite car is. It's a real shame that there will be no more Pontiacs

[glounsbury]

Very nice diorama, my garage floors never looked so tidy.

[BobGurkin]

Looks great ! Very nice job :)

[imcold]

Wow, now that I see more of the garage, it looks more than good, it's exceptional!

[ProjectKITT]

Very nice! You really added a lot of detail to that. The manuals and posters especially are a nice touch :)

[JohnM]

Excellent bit of detailing there, but it's still too clean and tidy to be realistic.;)

I've seen the basic garage somewhere before, but I can't put a finger on it now. What's the url please?

Johnny.

Thanks everyone :) I had a good time detailing this. It's my first diorama. Probably not my last though. Here's the link where I found it. It's in German, and I can't read German, but the links for download are at the bottom. Note that it's just the floor and 2 walls. I printed one of the walls twice for mine.

Here's another link with some pretty cool buildings. I got some of the signs from one of the models here as well.
