Thinking about building a scale garage

[WickedFog]

I have been thinking about putting together a 24th scale garage. Anybody done this? I know @Iowa crawler has a really cool one. If you have one, please share. I need ideas.

I too plan on an 18th scale garage. You doing wood or scale cinder blocks or another material? You could also 3d print cinder blocks.

Also scale builders guild has do e amazing builds with garages. Some hsrdcore ocd dudes there.

I've thought about it myself but just like under your name, I have too many projects as it is.
I tend to quit a project sooner than I finish.

I will 3d print a lot of it. I want it to look like the inside of a pole barn.

I would fall SO FAR down a tunnel of OCD that I'm pretty sure I'd create a black hole! Just have fun with it and I think it will be a great project!
Plus, you 3D print so this is perfect for you!
I've seen some garages done. They seem like a cool addition to a nicely built scale r/c.

I have thought about it, but have nowhere to put one.

As soon as I get my current projects done, this will be next on my list. I need a better place to photograph the little guys.

If it doesn’t have a fog machine installed for photo shoot, I’m gonna be wicked disappointed

Plus a scale Jessica Rabbit to pose with them... hubba hubba

I have a vape that can take care of that

I'm in the same boat as you. A scale garage sounds cool, so does a slot car track or even a scale train track setup - but I always end up at the same spot. Where would I put it.

Yes to all of the above. Really drives me crazy, I love miniatures, so dioramas always appeal to me.

You could sell a few 6-packs of crawlers to make some room!

I needs to play "Smoke on the Water" too! Maybe a strobe light or lasers?

Our house came with 3/4 of a HO track already set up.
Its hung on the walls like narrow shelves.
I want to finish the rest of the track and make it go again.
I guess if theres no more room for train tables or a set up on the floor, go up!

I actually did that before. I even made the scale lumber on a bandsaw. But it was in 1:160 scale

Built one of these the same way too, almost identical to this, but longer, and curved. Stick, by freakin stick. This one looks to be HO scale which is 1:87.

I'll try to get some pics. This track is around the edges of a cathedral ceiling so its like 9 or 10 feet above the livingroom floor.
access to the track (once completed) would be from 2nd floor catwalk.
The catwalk is where I thought I could start building a CRAZY indoor, multi floor 1/10 scale crawl track...
Who has a few grand $ and some free time to come install with me?

I need to grow again this year. You can come "trim" with us too!
I wasn't ready for how much work the harvest is!

Just thinking... I should lay out a Mini Z track in the basement before one of our rotten kids "claims" it!
The tv and couch is set up with a switch on it already... the clock is ticking on this one!

I might need a full time employee!
