I'm looking to find a garage diorama kit that I can build. I looked to Fujimi and they really don't have what I'm looking for. I'm having a hard time finding diorama kits. SMBC has some, but none that I can take pictures of my builds in. Do you know of anyone selling these kits?

Can you tell what parts / things you look for to add into a garage dio? That would make to find the solution easier I guess!

I'm actually looking for the garage itself. You might have seen the sets where they usually have what looks like garage walls and they usually come with door decals and clock decals and a floor that's about it.
The other things are aftermarket parts to dress it up. I'm having a hell of a time finding the bones of the garage.
Thanks for your help

Garage dios (like all dios) are best scratchbuilt. With a bit of knowledge it's easy to build your own, and you can do it far better than you'll ever find in a kit.
This is probably the best book on the subject (http://www.amazon.com/How-Build-Dioramas-Sheperd-Paine/dp/0890241953/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203378374&sr=8-1). It's mostly about military modeling, but the techniques definitely apply to car dios.
