Doug, did you scratch-build the garage accessories or did you build the lift, parts washer, compressor, etc. from kits? 

Thanks, Jim

Very Nice! What's the size of the garage? 24'X30'?

   Thanks all for the comments. Got a little more done on this one. My work had me coming in for some night duty ( starting at 1:30 AM) this last 2 weeks so I have'nt been getting much building done. This weekend turned cold and rainy here so it was a good time to stay indoors.  Painted the garage and added a roof. Put up the fence and sidewalk. Made a picnic table and a few other pieces. These pics are just for mock up to get an idea of where thing are going. Still need to weather the parts car alot, get the landscape done (the green area will be grass), add the right trees, ect. Make a drive way where the buddies that come over to help (drink beer) will park their hotrods.  To answer a few questions---most of the accesories are from kits,  the benches,cabinets, tables ect are scratch built. Building in this scale --1/24--makes things pretty easy to convert to scale size . 1/2" = 1  foot  but I just pretty much eyeball things so they are close enough for me.  This garage scales out to about  26' X 28' so pretty close quess.  I think I will add lights to the inside roof to make for some different picture opts.  All comments and ideas welcomed so if you think of something to add--speak up.  This one will have a lots of stuff stuck in it.   Thanks again   Doug
