thnx

also washed the wood on the garage and made barn doors , the flat part is actually a piece of brown painted plastic glass , lexan with grooves i found one day .. on top of that i put real oakwood

i will add hinges and in the middle a chain with lock

Looks great Rich. keep it up!

thnx !



whell on this picture you can see the shingles are flattened now after the glue dryed

gave the door a bit more age and sanded the edges , then painted it light brown all over and with a cloth wiped it off this gave the whole piece a new shade of brown without being painted ..
then washed the door all over with dark brown oil paint and that created depth ..

made a small chain , need to make a lock that hangs on the chain ..

above the door i will make a sign with the garage name and the word service

i designed a sign in photoshop , wanted to use the richrods name ....

just fitted it and gave it one coat of matt varnish







scale idea and my desrt after building lol

made a lock from styrene , went for like a nice big lock .. always loved those old big locks ...
made the doorhandles from brass , brass tubes with flared ends in the holes with handles bend from brass tube



tow service ?



hmm my current tudor project didnt get much attention now i'm doing this dio , so i pushed it to the garage

whell first of all better pictures in this update ,

second i completly did the concrete floor over , started from scratch with paint , i needed to extend the squares to the garage part .. it was not easy and at one point i thought i ruined the floor ..
in the end the tones and looks came out better then before..

used some bondo then light grey , some mixed juices ....






the grass is just loose and a test , i want to build a wooden fence from the side of the garage around the corner ll the way along the left side , then add a tree , bushes and place the ford in the corner with some more car parts around it ..
the ford isnt done completly will get some more work







just one shot in front of the window looking into the garden , later on i want to find the right location and take the dio out there for some real nice outdoor pictures

Darn impressive stuff! Especially now with the better lighting in these pics. All the dirty and worn surfaces look so convincing. The floor is a bit too reflective (most evident in the last pic) but the texture and the scale of the texture is spot-on!

Amazing Rich!

thnx guys !! and yes most pics are made while building in teh evenings and are crappy , also i always make like close ups and those tend to make stuff look rougher then in real life

but like you said its then fun to make some daylight pics and show the whole ...

and the floor is as matte as can be , its just the wood that keeps catching light .. the paints are all matte .... maybe next time i will use a thin layer of real concrete !

I want to comment, but I'm just speechless
