Scale garage items

[Gaz!]

Hi,

 

been prepping a old hard body bonnet for some paint and had a thought to what we used when I worked in the garage.

Here’s the bonnet being prepped,

 

 

Spent a hour and knocked this up,

 

 

 

 

so, what wonderful items have you created in the ‘scale’ world.

 

this will go with the mountain of stuff I’ve be gathering and still no garage to put them in, lol

Come on people, get the pics up!

 

ill show you more of mine if you show me yours, ooh err. 

[heavyleftthumb]

thats damn cool pal. nice work. to get the ball rolling  heres some of mine.

im sure people have seen my stuff i have designed and made. if youve not have another look.

That reminds me mate, when is my next batch due?

 

at this rate, I won’t have room for a Rc to fit in 

 

i can personally vouch for @heavyleftthumb‘s work here, I have loads and quality is spot on.

Ok, here’s another one I’ve made.

all from offcuts of plasticard apart from the barrel, that’s a 32mm waste pipe coupling from b&q. Has a working light and brush is a 4mm bullet connector with a bit of wire left sticking out (stiff brush for gettin oil off them landy parts )

 

 

 

 

oh and then there’s the work bench’s I made too.....

 

come on guys, don’t be shy

Damn why did you have to recommend his work

 

@heavyleftthumb I may be enlisting your services when I can decide what I fancy being made

[Gaz!]

Soooo,

 

not many of you make any scale items then?

 

here is my last offering,

had a properly battered Tamiya Subaru brat shell, carved it up and ended up with the doors, wings and bonnet (hood).

the doors and wings will either get weathered as old tired ones or maybe sprayed up ready for a car, no idea as of yet.

back to the bonnet, it was real rough so did the best possible with filler, painted it up Tamiya light metallic blue.

 

i wanted to create something you could see in a posh garage like gas monkey/west coast customs etc.

all the mechanism bits came from a 70’s clock that I found at a village fete for a grand sum of £1 (still has the battery in it too). numbers were in a big sheet from hobbycraft, again just £1.

 

it needs the fingers touching up and the rear covering with black but for now scale bits wise, this is it. (Kinda hoped the thread would be full of little bits you’ve created). Will eventually be on the wall of the scale garage, one day.....

 

as always, feedback welcomed both good and bad.

 

 

 

even has the Tamiya model no. on it.

 

 

Thanks for looking

thats damn cool pal..... top work  ?

[Gaz!]

Cheers mate 

[peter2117]

those all look awesome @Gaz! top work ?

[Gaz!]

Sooo, tried looking for a tumbleweed emoji and nothing so I’ll have to type it instead.....

 

ok so how about some ideas for other things to make, bearing in mind it must be made from odds and sods readily available?

 

ill give any ideas a go and offer them as somekind of a prize maybe, 

 

just got a mini arcade machine that plays basic games, something else for the garage lmao....

[heavyleftthumb]

i've busy designing more scale stuffs. tadar

 

a new jet wash

What wood are you guys using to make the pallets?

 

[Gaz!]

The wood is balsa wood from hobbycraft, it’s expensive but it’s easy to go in and get what I’m after with it in hand.

 

thats what I’ve used for the scale workbench etc. Also lollipop sticks can be used too 

 

some pallets can be 3d printed too.

[J.K]

Nice one, cheers Gaz - Hobbycraft's just round the corner so i'll go have a look!

[Gaz!]

No worries at all mate
