GARAGE DIO

[dannyi]

...the wall started out as a test piece for a mold I was working on. Been on the shelf for quite some time now. I've been dabbleing with resin parts for awhile now and needed something to display them on so people can see what they look like in a dio scene. So I thought I would make a small little photo backdrop for them, but I'm having a fun time with this so I thought 'what the heck', been wanting to do another dio anyway. Going to make a full garage using this little section to start with.......






..more to come.......................

Wow, what scale is this?
That's a lot of detail on that backing plate!
Cool !

[smartresins]

Great stuff! Good detail. Well done. Now your doing the rest? Cool! Jody

[dannyi]

..thanks geezerman and smartresins.........I plan on expanding this over time, got a few other projects on the fire also.......
.....geezerman the scale is 1:25, and the backing plates I make. Their a one piece cast, I currently sell them on e-bay. I'm in the process of making more dio detail parts, that's what prompted this little photo backdrop. Wanted to show folks what the parts would look like in a dio scene. Here's a couple pics of the brake assemblies.......

This is just way cool. If you get it finished, it'll be a masterpiece.

..thanks fellas, sorry I haven't been around much, we've been moving. I'm sure most of you know what a pain that can be. Been putting time in on the resins when I get the chance, plus I managed to get a web site up. Still tweaking that.
...carguy, you can purchase these parts and more on my web, it's cheeper then e-bay because of all the fees involved. I'm still going to use e-bay because of the exposure. Here's the address.....

..decided to switch direction and go from the more modern looking cement blocks to a 1920's era brick building. Basically an old warehouse converted into a service garage. The time line for the dio will be the late 50's , early 60's...here's a few progress pic's.........

...going to have a beamed ceiling with wood floor joists depicting a second floor. The ceiling (top) will be removable for extra light during picture taking.

...started on the windows last night.....
