You have done a remarkable job on putting that together. The realism is unmatched. A job well done.

Thanks guys! The ceiling is now painted, my "mini" Pepsi machine is in, I've added a little trash can, just need to add a few more shop tools, and a couple of figurines, and I'll call it finished.

I did have a guy get in touch with me wanting to make a drive of 200 miles to see my "garage", when he found out it was just a model, well, we both had a good laugh! The realism is pretty neat.

Nice! Bonus points if you get a functioning light bar.

Bonus achieved!! It has the same flashing lights as the real thing, and, has the siren package also! My son is an AR State Trooper, and it has the same lights/sirens as his patrol car.

In 1980, Vette Vues magazine used a picture of my Monogram 1/8 scale
Silver Anniversary model on their cover, as an "April Fools" joke.

Shortly after the magazine came out, one of the local Corvette Clubs sent me a letter
inviting me and my beautiful "Silver Anniversary" to join their club...
