Service Station WIP
« on: February 10, 2015, 08:16:13 PM »
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

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

Started framing the garage door. Most of this will be hidden, but it's gotta be legit


Cut out the wood for the door, has to be the most even cutting I've done yet.

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.

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

Got some details up on the door. Now I just need to connect them together and get them lined up just right

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



Messy paint intentional...lol
