Garage Diorama meet!

[wrexink]

Lets see your best Dioramas! Here is mine. Every little tool and thing i painted. Everylittle shelf everything! Im proud of it.

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!

[Sixx]

I always forget how to post pictures here and Tonioseven comes to the rescue! well, here goes my best attempt. I built this some years ago!

[wrexink]

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

[Sixx]

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.

[wrexink]

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!

[Sixx]

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!

[wrexink]

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

[Sixx]

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!

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.
