Joe's Backyard Paradise

Uh Oh !

Don’t forget the Model Cars , Scale Auto and FSM mags laying somewhere !

Tanker will wonder where that MW you got off him cheap at the Garbage–er–Garage Sale.

Probably Needs a couple beat-up coolers, too.

And I thought I was “nut’s” for putting 1/25 scale crushed beer cans in the back of a pick-up !!!

Every shop needs a “shop cat” ! ( Otherwise the mice will get your fry’s)

Thanks for the kudo’s fellas. I’ve still got some more items to go as far as contents of the garage is concerned. I’ll be turning my attention to the walls, windows, door and the outside of the shop soon.

I do believe a nice 1970 Grabber Blue Mach 1 would look right at home there!

With the rear window louvers…black of course.

Absolutely! And a Cleveland 351 on the engine pedestal dolly! [B]

Brilliant thread keep it up!

Joe, take notes man, I think we’ve got the car situation all worked out! [H]

Nice job!!!

I built a garage diorama that I presented to my son because he and his friends used our garage to work on their cars. He was 18-20 then 38 now.

I added many of the touches you have like magazines, pizza boxes, parts boxes, soft drink cans, oil stains, grease, spare parts on the floor/workbench, etc.

It got to where I just had to tell myself “STOP”. Detail is cool but if you aren’t careful the project will never be completed.

There is just so much detail stuff available. Either for sale or instructions on how to make your own.

Looks great! Based on my garage you just need a little blood on the floor from busted knuckles :slight_smile:

I have been following this as you know .

Can we have a nice 1953 Studebaker Starliner in there , and someone polishing it ? Please ?T.B.

Thanks for all the good and humorous comments fellas.

I’ve decided that this one here will be my re-entry into modeling. Moving forward…

Good call there Bro. Looking forward to the finishing touches on this.

Thanks Joe. As for the finishing touches…you know me. I’m not anywhere NEAR finished with this one yet. lol

This is really cool. Your are doing some nice work. I like the surgery on the Snap-on box. It is for sure better that way. The detailing you’re doing is great. I’ll be watching this space. I’m surprised that you didn’t use a Whataburger bag, or maybe a basket from Boat-N-Net. [:)]

You’re giving me ideas. I got a Joes Power Plus service station from the consignment bin from King’s hobby store in Austin some time ago. Thanks for the inspiration. Looking forward to see how this turns out. [Y]

Thanks Mark. Man you should do something with that Power Plus Service Station here. I’d be glued to the set!!

Hello Joe,

Next time I go to dads in Austin I’ll bring it back. I don’t have any room for the finished display right now, but there are lots and lots of pieces that I could be putting together and working on. Thanks for the inspiration.

Mark

Looking forward to seeing that one Mark.

Well guys, it’s been about four months since I’ve done anything here. With my intro back to the bench I’ll be working on working on this one through to the end. I’ve taken steps to dirty the floor up some and weather the walls slightly. This week I’ve been working on shop clean up equipment. I managed to assemble the push broom, paint and weather it and did the same to the trash can, dust pan and brush. I found some tissue paper with some writing on it wadded up and thrown in the trash can for an added touch.

Oh, those look really good!
