    nothing special but i think it came out pretty good

    i used scrap booking paper ontop of foam board. its 1 sq ft

    the floor is diomandplate design from the "harly davidson" scrap booking collection lol and the green bricks are from the marvel comics collection themed after the incredable hulk

    thanks guys

    the engine hoist and engine stand i actually scratch built mostly out of the left over "trees", the plastic frame stuff that actuall model kit pieces are stuck to

    some other things in the garage include the fenders and a door from a buick regal, a turbo buick engine and trans sitting in those tires, 2x tool boxes, ramps, a jack and its hard to see but those are scale tools sitting on the fender, a screwdriver and a open end wrench

    heres a close up of the buick 6 that needs a new home...

    Way cool!!! I used to build things like that over 40 years ago. Somewhere I have some old black & whites of mine. I'll have to see if I can find them.
