    Default toy garage/servo

    My brother asked me if I could make his young fella a toy garage to keep all his cars and trucks in. probably got a bit carried away, but it should do the job I think. only problem now is that I think my young bloke wants one too!

    Nice work. Not surprised your young one wants one too.

    Looks great, great detail the flags really add to it, and the removalable lid to store the cars is a great idea.

    Default toy garage

    I have finished building a garage for my grandson but need some stickers and signs etc to complete it.
    Can anyone advise the best place to find these.
    Also while I'm online, does anyone have a plan for a dolls cot.
    I would like to make one about 30 inches long x 25 wide. It could be on a rocker base or on extended legs with a swivel action. My email is [email protected] and I live in Sydney Aust.

    Regarding the decals, if you have access to an inkjet printer, you can buy some inkjet photo sticker paper and make your own: Photo Sticker Paper - Inkjet Online

    Alternatively, you could try these guys: http://www.oztion.com.au/buy/auction...temid=10518712

    Or Hobby Co in the QVB in town.

    Top job "joeyjons" with the garage though I'd struggle with the lid myself.
    I get my stickers from the $2 shops when I do something similar but haven't seen the good range of automotive stickers.
    Cheers, Crowie

    G'Day "The Finnsta",
    I've got a couple of dolls bed/cot plans for you to check out,
    I hope that's what you're looking for.

    Default Decals

    Thanks for the advice. I do have a printer but I'm not sure I have the necessary skills to print up what I need.
    I'm off into the city, so I'll try Hobby Co.
    Appreciate your help.

    Default fusilier

    Thanks for the pics.
    As I mentioned, I have built a garage (from a plan in the April 2009 edition of the "Better Homes & Garden" magazine) and it's just the decals or signs I need now to complete it.
    Both crowie & silentC have given me advice as to where I might get these (or how to produce them) but a visit to Hobby Co wasn't very fruitful so, my next step is to get my daughter to help me run them off the computer. ( Never too old to learn, I hope).
    Again my thanks for all the suggestions.
    Regards, The Finnsta
