That looks great Bret.
The trim around the edge of the ply is very good idea.
Great WIP photos and working notes.
Looking forward to your paint up and detailing.
Cheers, crowie

looks cool,again it reminds me of when i had them as a kid

Grrr, got me hooked again.

I think you are starting to get the hang of this woodworking Bret You going to paint it or stain? I usually paint before I assemble this kind of project, easier than trying to cut in the colours so it looks neat.
You probably got a steadier hand than me though. Looks good.

Well another project have you got time to work. If anything else is to go by then it should be a corker.
I have been meaning to make one for some time now even got around to drawing plans

Digger, Your plan looks like a lot of work. Cheers

Nice work. I must admit though I found myself looking at the background of the photo as much as the project itself. Good looking workshop there.

Small update I made some gas pumps and island and I got the base and inside of the garage primered.

Bret

So I guess I didn't load any pictures on the last post. DOH! So I will add them to this post. I got the base painted with the first coat except for inside the garage, and the holes filled on the garage sanded and coated with primer. If everything goes to plan should be able to get the color coat on the garage this evening.

Brilliant love this

Like triple decker with winder for lift

I got a coat of paint on everything. Still need to put one more coat on the grass and the blue of the building. The black covers real well on first coat.

What do guys think should I paint the inside white or leave it gray?

Awesome job!! I vote for leaving the gray at least on the floors...it looks like concrete. Maybe the inside walls in white..or you could go seriously garage journal and do a pinstripe wall..LOL!

Looks good Bret,
Though very neat with the lines of the roadways.
I normally do a very light blue for both the walls & floor.
Plus you could do a contrast on the trim around the roof top carpark.
After the paint work is finished & dried and the decals are applied, I usually give the whole thing a coat of Gloss Clear Pressure Pack to seal everything.
Don't forget the sign & the trees.
Cheers, crowie

What, no office fitout!!? What about the display shelves with the bags of crisps and magazines? And the fridges with all the drinks?

C'mon Bret, people will think you're getting slack!
