My Garage Diorama

Well this was my first diorama, and I experimented with a lot of different things until I found techniques and materials that worked for me. almost everything is scratchbuilt with the exception of some tools the lift, engine hoist and mechanics. The shop was designed to be a newly opened shop, that is why everything is so clean and neat. Feel free to comment and ask questions :smile:

Once again feel free to comment and ask questions :sunglasse

Looks very good.

NICE! I like the mini R32 and the Showroom area.

lol thanks josh, knew youd like that ;)

Dam good man. A little clean tho. Is that r32 from the candy eggs? You are good with the little details! Keep up the awsome work man!

I've got a ton of questions!
-Where did you get the lifts?
-What did you use to make the walls and floor/tiles?
-How did you make the computers/flatscreen?

That Camaro looks baddass in there!
Awesome work!

Thanks for showing an interest

The lifts came from a fujimi garage kit i bought on ebay.

the walls are foam board cut to fit, then covered with scrap book paper, comes in many style and is only like a dollar a sheet. the tiling is vinyl doll house flooting you can get at ac moore or anyplace that carries dollhouse stuff.

the flatscreen and phone i made from scratch, the laptop and printer i got from printable minis, but i needed to resize it to be to scale. go to google and type in printable minis. Great site has a ton of paper stuff, looks good in dios.

Hope this helps have any more questions about that or anything else feel free to ask love to get more people into dioramas :)

Looks good! But i cant se any oil... and thats wierd ;) Nice work.. have been thinking of a diorama of my own for a long time but i have not managed to get started on it.

I gotta say it looks awesome!!!

glad to see this one finished. looks great

where'd u get that lil revolver in the closet & in the desk shelf?

awesome contents! Where'd you get the small R32???

Also I think it'd help greatly if the people's clothes were colored with flat colors :sunglasse

Under the back of that Camaro with that oxy torch near the fuel tank could cause some exciting moments.

I would love to know how your scratchbuild that small skyline inside the office room.

Looks awesome, I love the puppies :D

great dio!!!!!!!!!!!

only 1 thing how did u make the floor???????????????????

There's a couple hand-cannons laying around in there. Is it in a bad neighborhood? :eek:

OPP..nice garage diorama

looks good. The people can use some washes and highlights for realism, but I guess it's the first time you paint something like people. And also.. is that a gun in the drawer of the desk with computers?

Very cool dude. I love the little skyline model in there as well. And the showroom is a nice touch as well.

amazing skill and patience for detail here. Im really impressed with the office and like the extras you have added like the laptops, stereo, tv and the clock radio is a nice touch too. fantastic dio here, great work.

Great work man! lol i dont know what to say that hasnt already been said.
Maybe add a wastepaper basket in the office or a barrel in the the shop?
Top notch work tho :thumbsup:
