looks like you used foam core for the walls.. its pretty cool.. but then you get stuck with those foam edges. what you can do is put "wall paper" like another layer of chip board, museum board, or a texture paper, or what ever the desiered finish, or you just apply some 1/16" bass wood over it and paint it.

Professional model makers at the architecture shops uses basically plexi glass, styrene, and hot glue and paint it all at the end.


i see that your windows and garage doors are flexing, you can either use clear styrene or plexi glass and score it with your exacto knife, and paint it.

ps. that rsx looks awesome

hey man, thanks for the comments, i realize those points u made, i had to make this on deadline so i didnt have much time to perfect it. Maybe thats what i should do now. AS for the windows etc, you are looking at a model that is 6 YEARS old, so needless to say..there will be flexing.. thanks for the comments! maybe i'll make another "franchise" hehe

I did a lot of stuff like this for a Lionel train platform and had 1:24 or 1:18 die-cast cars on display. But I never did such a detailed garage. That really looks great. Nice work.

Great work looks killer. I have been trying to build one but cant get the size right. What hight and lenght are your walls?

[.porkchop.]

the size of my walls
the main garage area is approx 24X14X8 (L x W x H) all in inches.
I hope that helps?

PorkChop, did you ever think about getting some decal paper and printing out some posters and stuff to replace the ones you have? Other than that, that is one bad*** display.
