Default 1:18 scale garage re-do

This past summer I insulated, sheet-rocked, painted and added tile floor on the Vette bay in my garage. Of course I had to re-do my scale diorama to replicate the real garage as best I could. Hope you like. It's been a fun winter project.

way too much time on your hands... I would have glued my fingers together and broken the model in the first 10 minutes...

Is that Vic helping you clean in the diorama? If so, put a trenchcoat on him

PS- Dan - I'm with you, 10 minutes until my fingers were glued together.

That's a pretty big hammer and adjustable wrench. Great work.
