Default My Corvette Garage in 1:18 scale

Its time for a December 2013 Holiday Update - Please see last page - New Addition and new accessories !

Here are several pics taken over the Holidays with a model of my real car in diecast with correct chrome wagon wheels and parked in a wooden barn/garage that I have been finishing for a while now. What do you think of it? Dave

Wow, that is very cool!! What a good project,
I like all the tools, boxes of oil, etc. in there, alot of great miniatures.

I bet you had alot of fun making that--a dream garage for sure!

Thanks for sharing, it is fun to keep looking at.
Might sound corney, but those are the kinds of things that are entered in county fairs, etc. that everyone loves to see. Think about entering it in your county fair next summer. Ahhh, participation

Here is a look at the garage itself; which is really a barn. The wood logs are 1 inch square. so this is a rather large piece. The garage is in the back. Yes, I made the work bench, cabinets and storage rack. Finding the accessories is the challenge.

Since I can't do my fullsize garage this nice, I want a scale model like yours!! It looks just great!

I found a few die cast model 1:18 scale items like four-post lift, tools, air compressor and people miniatures at Northern tools website.
