Back at the workbench for the first time in 4 months. Going for a busted down gas station complete with a totally scratch build garage door!

Estimated time of completion? 2016 probably.....lol

Looks cool so far
-
Yea, I know it's not a lot to show right now, but I didn't have the right sized wood to start trimming out the garage....lol
-
Sounds great. First update to the front page.
-
Started framing the garage door. Most of this will be hidden, but it's gotta be legit
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/Service%20Station/wood_zpsx6updk8x.jpg)
Cut out the wood for the door, has to be the most even cutting I've done yet.

Coming along great mate.

I love the realism you are able to achieve on the three and three quarter scale. It will be great to see this one progress.
-
Actually, it's 1/12 scale... :)

Actually, it's 1/12 scale... :)
Whatever scale I like the realism.

Mocked up the door tonight. Won't have that big a gap at the finish, just not ready to install yet. Will add a bigger header above to hide any gaps. Still needs details of course
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/Service%20Station/10991072_715723371881977_9150835830401825724_n_zps7u1u4zbq.jpg)
-
Looks like a nice garage door to me.
-
Got some details up on the door. Now I just need to connect them together and get them lined up just right

That garage door is looking fantastic. Update to the front page.
-
HAD to get some paint on this thing. This is just the base coat. Experimenting with crackle medium but it's not working how I want it to, so we'll see
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/Service%20Station/10432480_719337754853872_3696602412511547450_n_zps6ziih2hf.jpg)
Messy paint intentional...lol
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/Service%20Station/10801711_719338374853810_7075399227101731033_n_zpsxuvayimf.jpg)
-
Wow! I love the detail you give this all!
-
Looks great.
Ron
-
First color coat on the door. Most of this will be chipped/sanded away
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/Service%20Station/11034264_723031524484495_8437614576290018874_n_zpsfq5cwhlv.jpg)
Third time trying crackle medium, third time it doesn't work...
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/Service%20Station/10981358_723033911150923_7395272134852713709_n_zpsfbkovpfk.jpg)
-
Looks like you are making some progress.
-
Busted out the sanding drum on the Dremel along with some hand sandpaper to get the wear and tear started.
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/CustomCreator2008002/10474739_10206340900830820_5668005938524167832_n_zpsm748rc5z.jpg)
Bottoms of garage doors get the most abuse, so rounded off the bottom a bit and made it uneven
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/CustomCreator2008002/11057389_10206340900390809_1941948516729030711_n_zpsyis4amp0.jpg)
Same with thresholds.
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/CustomCreator2008002/10991284_10206340901110827_6892557395728145925_n_zpsleoizf89.jpg)
Well that took about a month....lol
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/Service%20Station/17493_726608240793490_8071570328760364851_n_zpshiblknj8.jpg)
-
WOW! Looking crap! And that is meant as a compliment ;)
-
Nice progress. Off to share.
-
The weathered and battered look on the doors looks excellent 10/10.
Ron

Got the preliminary awning up over the door. Need to fix up the galvanized roof. Also added drip strip above garage door. Needs weathering still.

Love it! Great detail!
-
Nice, looks like regular one to one size construction.
-
loving the details keep up the great work.
Ron

Started on an ice merchandiser tonight. Going to be a challenge from wood, but I am testing my skills at making wood look like metal....lol. I have some wood putty for any gaps once the glue dries. Still need to add the door and condenser on top. #patience

Also added some ground posts in front of the garage frame.

-
Nice start and is it going to be a ruined one or are you going to have ice in it?
Ron
-
Ruined and rusty most likely.
Still working on this one (I've been real lazy/busy for a while)
Anyway, onto the pictures:

Still lots of weathering to come!

Looking good, glad to see you back.

It's looking great.
Ron

Oh yeah, great update. Extremely realistic looking off to share.

wow very realistic !! Excellent job

Started adding the dark water stains tonight. These will be lightened up a bit as I went pretty dark to start.

Looks like you are getting close to be complete.

Starting on the nitty gritty

Wow, that looks fantastic. The level of detail is superb. Off to share.
-
The details on this is looking great!! You even have the weeds growing in the cracks. Awesome!!
-
Waiting on some ideas for the building to come to me, I decided to make some props. These are nice because they can be used in numerous shots, and not just "tied" to this one diorama.
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/Service%20Station/11215716_815752558545724_5805088689207084860_n_zpsxlu805df.jpg) (http://s526.photobucket.com/user/CustomCreator2008/media/Service%20Station/11215716_815752558545724_5805088689207084860_n_zpsxlu805df.jpg.html)
First coat of black. (You might notice I added double nails to the pallets)

Its details like this that really push a great dio to make it epic. Nice work.
-
Excellent work, I'm loving the details and weathering.
Ron

Pretty much calling this diorama done. I need to finish the ice merchandiser, but that's kind of on the back burner.
