LOL! Thanks Chad.[Y]
Love your dio! I know that the ‘tool box’ part of it is pretty old in the forums but I am just thinking that so many of those boxes you see have a couple of drawers that are about an inch from being closed all the way. Not nit-picking but just wanted to point it out and am thinking it would ramp up the realism a little.

That’s awesome, Joe.
But it brings up a bad memory. Back in the early 80’s, probably, we had a Coke machine just like yours in the shop. I was young and wanted modern, I got rid of it in favor of a ‘modern’ pop machine.
To this day every time I see one I cringe. I have no idea if they are worth anything. Not the point.
That said, you have the next best thing, and it takes up less room.

Now, that’s a dandy addition.

Beautiful work so far. Is there a build thread on the PU? I see no battery chargers for power tools or compressor/piping/filters for air tools. I’m assuming the dio period would determine which. Just first cuppa rambling. PaulE

I love that old Coke machine! If you want to do a modern garage:

It’s a Doozy! Possibly the simplest resin kit in the world - only one piece! Waterslide decals too!
Now we need a candy vending machine…

Hey, I am thirsty. How much for Coke? 10 Centavos? Thats one of them bend off bottle cap jobs isn’t it. Remember how good a coke tasted when you were a kid? Man, what a treat it was. I loved the fizzy part.
It looks great, sir!

Thanks Konrad. I never heard of Mrs. Thorne’s Rooms before so I went and checked it all out. All I can say is WOW!! That stuff is amazing!!
What a fun build to read through, @mustang1989!! Thanks for bumping it. I love the finish and the details — the scuffed floor is a trick I’ll be filing away for future use, and I love the bait shop sticker.

Thanks Tom. LOL!! I had a good chuckle when I pulled that bumper sticker off on the wall. Never done anything like that before and it was a lot of fun to be able to get that on the wall.
This whole build was a good amount of enjoyment for me to put together and I’ve got plans for a little larger one so I can start photographing my builds in a bigger setting.
