thnks for coments... ;)

Awsome!

I wish I can do one but I have no room... :frown:

Very nice by the way.:)

I dont know where i'd start with one of those.

lol...well i strated getting some k-line to do the floor and walls...taked a big piece and put some cars in it to see the size...then cut and paste the walls and floor...and started decorating... ;)

How did you make the vending machines, what did you make the walls out of?

all of the stickers and shiznit in one day also? dude that's unbelievable. my dio is gonna take like 2months and isn't gonna look anything near as nice as yours!

How did you make the vending machines, what did you make the walls out of?

well the walls i've made with k-line...looks like cartoon but with smudge inside it...between the two faces...

the vendign machines, printed the theme and pasted on some cartoon...then cut it and assemble it...

enjoy :grinyes:

Thats really good work. Where did you get all the rims and stuff?

the rims bought...and the other stuff are things that i get from some other models...when i modd them...and so on..

thats cool i was thinking of getting one from ebay and making it a bit better or somthing ......

i've seriously gotta try out the vending machiine and little posters and such.

i've seriously gotta try out the vending machiine and little posters and such.

yes try it...you will like the result...:grinyes:

im going to have to start on some sort of a diorama pretty soon, just need more time to get the escort done :(

well i printed out the vending machine. i printed out some pics but i think my color cartridge in my printer is running low on only like 1/3 of the pics turned out like i wanted them to :( but yeah i framed the pictures too on powerpoint. i stuck a little black border around them. i'm gonna build the vending machine soon.

lol you like your print outs of thinks dont ya noswil .... im going to make a diorama for outside i think just somthing i can use for makinging my cars look more realistic for when i take pictures there was a thread in the car modeling section iv printed it off, looks really good :) like an industrial building type thing ....

@la go 4 it.

yeah stuff it im going to, i think you know which one i mean aswel noswil..... im going to make little prive boards for the in side of them make it look like a car sales pitch :)

prive boards? what's that.

Lol, I have the same issue Hobbes, I'm making a few, just nowhere to put them lol, I'm making a DragStrip and Cooldown, a Racing garage, and then just a fab garage. Craft shops make TONS of cheap stuff lol.

wow sounds intersting elrx. show us pics!

yes...show us pics...

you people have pretty nice ideas...

@ la, for your cars looks more real, try put them outside, near things that look small beside the car...tryy, for instance, some new paviment... =)

Are you using chop sticks to support your loft? Thats kinda cool, fits the import tuner theme. A little tip for people planning on building dioramas is the craft store AC Moore sells plastic sheets that replicate square tile floors in the doll house section. The tiles are the perfect size.

so that's what it was, chopsticks. creative!
@turbo welcome noob!

Thank you for the welcome!!! The only reason I knew what they were is because i have the same chopsticks sitting in front of me from dinner at my moms the other night. This is way off topic but my mom made the fortune cookies and put fortunes in them hinting that we are going to disney world so now the whole family including my girlfriend are going :)

yes they are chopsticks...hehehe

everytime i go to the chinese restaurant, take some...LOL

indeed know that plastic card but here where i live, is very hard to find so we must invent...

welcome @ turbo =)

Thank you for the warm welcome:)
I like to make my own stuff too but sometimes its nice to have something like the tiles and stuff like that. If you ever need anything like that let me know and maybe we can work something out. They dont just have tile they have brick and hardwood floors too.

-Alex

real hardwood? pics pease.

I'm sorry. I should have been more clear...It is not real wood, it is just plastic or a light rubber that replicates hardwood floors for doll houses.

any pictures by any chance? size price? webiste etc...

yes i would like to see that...and some other nice stuff...

thnks for the availablety! =)

Ill look to see if I can find it online but if not, tomorrow I will take a ride over to the store and pick up some to show you guys.

EDIT* I just looked and it isn't on their site. Tomorrow night I will have something for you guys ;-)

GOOD NEWS!!! Im gonna go pick that stuff up for you guys tonight!

*curse* i wanted to do a diarama for years but i did my car room insted...

cool set-up

Do a diarama too. They dont have to cost alot of money to make and you can work on it a little at a time.

Sorry guys, my girl had one of her tantrems like always so i wasnt able to pick the stuff up. Ill look for it some more online later.

@turbo that's no problem. whenever you have time. girl as in kid or girl as in girlfirend?

Girlfriend. The floors come in all diff. kinds of wood and are $12.95 USD.

nice...when you can, show pics then =P

Im not sure when I will be able to pick some up. Im heading to LOWES to pic up a couple tools im gonna need for work tomorrow so if im over that way tonight ill get them but if not i cant do it tomorrow because im working 7-5 and after work im relaxing.

no problem dude...we wait ;)
