I have already spent three months working on this diorama (and still in progress). Majority of the accessories seen are from my own creation coming from different materials. Initially, I had only planned to do a simple garage, but I noticed some more things missing. So I decided to do some extensions of the set.
The car lift is a Hotworks Up & Down lift. I didn't use the base and wall that came with the set. Instead, I created a simpler base that actually looks much better.I had also bought a Snap On garage essential tool set to add on this diorama.
I fabricated a fixed door and door handle. I also cut some pictures from various magazines and converted them to wall posters.Ceiling lights using LEDs.
I fabricated this air gauge, hose and nozzle, together with the tubing Fabricated car batteryFabricated stainless steel work bench with drawers.Fabricated springs and wrenches.Fabricated wall outlets and power extension cord.
Fabricated wall fuse box.
Real working exhaust fan.
Lamborghini cut-out sticker for the main wall.
Wall posters.
I had replaced the monitor's screen from Snap-On to Lamborghini logo. Repainted the keyboard as well.
Fabricated and installed the lift switch.
Wall posters
Fabricated dry white board with marker and eraser.
Fabricated tool drawer with side handles .Added a few more fabricated items. Such are wrenches, elbow tire wrench, aluminum braided hoses and radiator filler cap.Fabricated a laptop, chair, braided fan belts, and braided hoses.
Fabricated some boxes
I got this engine from my son's wrecked Bburago Diablo. I detailed, repainted and replaced the plastic wires with real ones.
Added some wheels from the wrecked Diablo.
I repainted and added seatbelts and buckles to the wrecked Diablo's bucket seats.
Fabricated an air compressor with hose and spray gun for the garage's paint booth.
Fabricated a folding ladder.
Fabricated a Makita 9227C buffing machine.
Paint booth extension. Here, I have used the Up & Down lift's base. I repainted the wall and weathered the flooring. I repainted the wrecked Diablo's body to white as primer preparation. As well as the doors. Fabricated some buckets.
Added some boxes
Fabricated paint table and paint cans.
Fabricated another stainless work table, sand paper and sanding backing pad.
Working sliding door connecting the main garage to the paint booth.Added some GI Joe figures donated by a fellow diecast collector, Myk Formoso. I grinded some of the weapons fixed the their bodies and repainted them.
Fabricated another long stainless steel work bench. Added some rubber hoses and braided aluminum hoses.
The garage with working lights on the ceiling.
Refurbished and repainted the shocks of the wrecked Diablo. I also added piston rods and springs to replicate the real ones.
Fabricated a Digital Engine Timing and ECU management analyzer computer.
Fabricated an angled wall mirror.
Facade of the exterior side walls.
Still in progress. This is how the whole diorama should look like from a distance. I'm adding a driveway/parking on the front side, working flood lights and ceiling for the paint booth.

Thank you for viewing and for the appreciation Edward and RikMun!

very impressive
Just one question what did you use to make the roll up doors and where did you get the led light.
Thanks Rob! I used a thin corrugated board for the roll-up gates. Usually found in school/office supply shops. I buy the LEDs from a local electronic parts shop.
These pics were AWESOME i really mean that...
every single detail ... perfect...
... Thx for share your ART!
PS: u got talent bro...
Thank you VeheN! Cheers! :)
Excellent details realy nice
but on the planning board 13:45 to 14:45 you have 4 cars in the garage but you have only 3 doors ;)
This is a truly amazing diorama. I've been working on one for ages now, and yours has inspired me to continue once more and try to finish it.
Very highly detailed, and those own made additions make it just perfect.
OMG......very nice garage and mini tools!!!!! really impressive work....the garage looks so real when u swtch on the light!!! Guess i have to change my hobby!!!

ehm, i wanna ask u something, u said that u made the Fabricated stainless steel work bench with drawers, could u help me, what is it made from?
the folding ladder also, it so beautiful..
and last one, how did u made Fabricated a laptop, chair, braided fan belts, and braided hoses?? could u tell me?? :D
btw, very nice to see ur diorama.. 1000 thumbs up.. :D
Thanks Frederick, Lambodiecast, zehobby & Stephen for viewing and appreciating my work. :)
@ Stephen: The stainless steel work bench is made of paper clip for the frame stands, illustration board covered with aluminum foil/tape for the table top. The ladder is made of a coffee stirrer. The laptop is made of thin cardboard. the braided fan belts are made of de-soldering wires and the braided hoses are some wires from the brush of an R/C motor.
I hope this answers your question. :)
Woww..., thx for the explanations... :D
ohh.., so it was made from the pape rclip.. ckckkcck.., i almost see it everyday, but i just can't figure it out, that a paper clip could do this marvelous thing.. :d

Diorama fantastic! I am impressed by the cleanliness of the project. It is clean and very well done. And a lot of personal achievements to increase the details!
Small question, for interior and exterior coatings, you used what exactly?
Can you describe the electrical installation for the diodes? Can you make a small map?
Can you give us the dimensions of your garage?

I wanted to know what is the scale you used to make your garage? I am looking to make a motorcycle shop, this will be a 1st for me and I want it to look correct. The bikes are 1:18 scale. Any advice you can give me would be great.
Thanks
