Guy Brothers' Garage - scratch built in card

[Melyn]

I have almost finished this garage, scratch-built using photographs from an old garage in a village not far from me, edited in Photoshop printed and stuck to mount board, and assembled kit-style. The roof needs painting and there's still a few more details to be added: plants, lichen, and moss growing up it, plus signs etc. I will add finished photos when it is finished along with some work in progress pictures.

Nice and atmospheric with some well observed and not overdone decrepitude. Perhaps a few signs/notices/name boards on the main building would add some life.

Great work.

 

Obviously a restoration specialist looking at the range of cars and the petrol prices!

A few have been added since I posted, and there's more that I may add.

That is exactly the plan! It's the village garage and also a specialist in restoration, repair, and sales of classic cars.

 

This is what the garage looks like now, with forecourt and foliage added.

(The white on the side is where I did have two signs, and then knocked them off. I will get round to remedying this at some point!)

just another picture, now in situ on the (very work in progress) layout
