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.

The real garage:

Great job.
May I ask how you were able to match the picture on the wall.

avettelovertu

That is way cool! You replicated it very well!!

bullmarket

Thanks all.

I made a .pdf file of all the tin signs, banners and posters that I found on various internet sites. I sized them to scale and printed on sticky back paper. I stuck them to a thin sheet of plastic (model shop) and cut to size. I then glued to the wall.

I'd made an earlier post to you in my thread, and don't know if you saw it, but you inspired me to make this diorama. I was so impressed with yours, and how you replicated everything. The one thing I have to mention, my diorama is NOT a replica of my garage! LOL! (Wish it was!)

bullmarket

I didn't see it, but thanks. You did a great job.

How do you do this?

I don't like the cold, so I always need an indoor winter project so I don't get bored. I made measurements of my garage and made everything at 1:18 scale so my diecast Vette would fit. I made the walls and floor from 1/4" plywood. I painted model using the same paint on my walls. As described in previous thread, I scaled and made my own signs, etc. Cedar shake siding, I cut balsa wood and glued on. The tools, cans, etc I bought from various vendors on Ebay. Just search for 'diecast garage' stuff. It was a lot of fun and the kids love it at car shows.

The winter before, I made this diorama for car shows; of a car show. I cut it to fit over my battery tray in the Vette.

Park the Audi outside, buy or build shed outside for yard tools, buy some more tools and tool chests, quick jack, Mount TV on wall.

I was so bored that I spiked the wall art and installed two new walls on a shed. Now I can call it a garage to store two cars.
