1:18 scale showroom and garage

[Hobbes]

Holy Shit!!! Very sweet!

What did you do and how long did it take?

There was alot done here so ill keep it simple.

1. Made some sketches of sizes, dimensions, material e.t.c.
2. Got some MDF and beading (beading will become a small ridge around the base so that cars cant roll off) cut to shape from DIY store
3. Applied undercoat to MDF and beading, then coated it with grey finish for the base and an off white for the walls and beading.
4. Joined together the pieces with special glue (no nails used at all!)
5. Runners and glass fitted to the showroom (glass removable so that i can swap cars around and switch on my turntable)
6. Drilled holes through the MDF for LED lighting (got 6 pieces in a pack and each piece haas 4 leds on it) Note: LEDs can be very expensive, i paid £40 ($75) for these ready made pieces.
7. Lastly, I threw on my 4 post lift, trailer, turntable, tools, cars, wheels e.t.c.

Im glad you all like it. I came across some difficulty when it came to installing glass for the showroom but nothing i couldnt handle

Overall, it took about 6 days to make from scratch which isnt much and cost me about £90 ($170).

Thats amazing!! Great great job u've done there!!!
where did u get the glass?? Are they custom made?

[dub_city]

Glad you like it. Yeah, i had to get the glass custom made and i also got it smoothened off on the edges so that i can slide it back and forth in order to rotate my collection.
