Not sure it counts, since it's a diorama of the outside of a garage, and it's still a WIP. Anyway, here's mine:

Not terribly detailed, but purposely so. I'm considering adding a window with wheels, exhausts, and other parts in it so it looks more like a tuning shop.

Really nice jobs on both builds! What a great place to showcase your builds!

I built this some years ago!

awesome job! how did you do the dust and cobwebs?

that's the beautiful part of it! I've got to thank the spiders and leaving it out in my 'real' garage for inspiration while I build...ha ha

When the dust first developed, I thought it looked cool so I left it out to see what would happen.

HAHA! Thats Awesome! Fish the actual spiders out cuz there not to scale though! lol. Any more Dioramas anyone? It doesnt have to be a garge. It could be a parkinglot or something like willimos!

ha ha ha

Yeah, i'm not gonna try lifting up the cover on the car, they might just be small enough to live there, in scale. ha ha

Great idea for starting this thread, I love diorama sets of all kinds, I'm anxious to see some more cool builds!

yeah I am gonna make a 1:24th scale one. I need some ideas. How did you do the floor?

It's a sheet of styrene (evergreen) that has a tile pattern in it. I really like the clean, modern build you did, I want to build a diorama like that sometime soon! It really makes the builds come to life. Do you make all those tools? very cool and nicely detailed!
I'm working on a corvette funny car right now and I wish I had a diorama to set it up in for display!

yeah I am gonna make a 1:24th scale one. I need some ideas. How did you do the floor?

Is yours 1/18 then?

Mine is built 1/24th scale

Mine is 1:43 I think or maybe is 1:64. The tools came with. But i had to paint them all! Yeah that is the only styren or hobby place carries. is evergreen.

Great work. They look like movie studios.

So tiny! That's extra impressive! Very nice work on it. I got the materials for mine at my LHS, and it's all Evergreen. The plastic sheets come in architectural shapes; walls are corrugated aluminum, and the garage door is board-and-batten, I think. The door frames are just some L-girder or channel or whatever you call it. I don't remember what sizes I used, I just got a couple and eyeballed it, and now if I want more to match I take some with me. The ground is a couple linoleum floor tiles from home depot, I think it was kunta who took some pictures on his roof and gave me the idea.

Sixx - yours is great! I love all the stuff on the shelves. If you've a garage that doesn't look that messy, you're not doing it right! Also dig those posters. I might have to make an "inside" for mine some day.

this is my shop theres a bicycle in there somewhere but all this stuff came from my parts box

Thanks willimo, I think we've all been ripped off by a guy owning a garage like that one! ha ha

I love seeing the dio builds, like you could just run on in there and get to work

I like the way your rafters are letting the sun in and lighting up the models!
great job man!
