    The Beetle's Garage

    Hi friends.

    I need to try new experiences and challenges.... and this morning has an offer I cannot decline

    I visit my collector friend on the city, he explains me that has found, lost on the shop, an ancient resin kit, in fact is a garage O_o and ask me if I want to do something with it. Of course

    So, here I am!! Have a garage and three “die-cast” cars to give form at this little diorama or scene at 1/43 scale

    I want to do this model absolutely rusted and weathed!! RIP :P

    On this one, I want to change all the colour of the van and do it quite “older”, but she will still go on

    And that one will be the “actual” or everyday vehicle. Just add some dust effect or similar, looks so new :P

    PS: I create this thread here because I think isn't enough big to call it as a diorama and the cars are just "diecast" not kits.....anyway if the moderators want to change it :P

    Thanks for all

    My first idea is build it on a "big" base.....but after see all the set on a smaller one, well....seems looks better O_o

    This is the big one.

              Thanks guys and Moni

              The garage Kit has some little complements, so I will do an invent looking for the possibility to open and close the roof ever you want (just for see the inside part)

              And out there...grass, a little tree and a stone way,... This the idea! But I'm sure I will change it as always

              Thanks

              Polux

                Don't tell your Land Rovers you are doing this VW scene Polux. Nice work, look forward to seeing the master at work again.

                    Looking nice Polux and something different. Modelling takes on all forms and even part builts or pre-done models can be transformed into something.

                      they both look good big or small, but you know what court my eye was the tree,o_O

                      thats a fine looking one, and you should still work it in ,if you can,

                      just me thinking

                        Thanks Si and Moni!

                        I'm thinking on a different layout, now...ops: I found it more fun and original.

                        Tomorrow will post some pics

                        Ps: the little tree is just for imagine it on the layout

                          Hi all!!

                          This is the new idea O_o .....and where is the garage

                          The rusty beetle, walls full of graphyties.... just the usual parking near a station or on the "lower places" of the city O_o
