@hudson555x

Thanks for the comment. I used white LED Christmas lights for the diorama. Hope the info helps.

[Jokeapp]

very cool video....................

[Flymigi]

Yes, you did a really good job !!! I've tried to build an old gas station in 1/18 scale several years ago. Maybe you like it too. (sorry for my bad english)

Thunbs up !

Greetings Flymigi

How long did it take to build it?

[JFRMD]

@boombaby183

It took me probably about a month to make it, but I did it during spare hours, so it wasn't a continuous build. :-)

[Dilsterboy]

Im wondering what length does the doors have to be to be 1/18 size

[JFRMD]

@Dilsterboy

In my diorama, the door is approximately 4.5x1.75" in dimension. This was scaled down from the standard door we have at home. Take note however that in real life, there can be virtually an infinite number of variations in door sizes. If you've seen a particular type of door which you want to scale down to 1/18, you need to know its dimensions, then divide each by 18 to arrive at the desired scale. The same goes for other structures you may want to replicate in 1/18 scale.

[Dilsterboy]

I yes i read ur comment below but Im a plastic model builder thinking about moving on Die Cast 1/18 scale. Im going to make a Diorama. But does the link have any diroma buildings on makineg a american classic garage made of bricks, and a detriot looking garage?

[JFRMD]

@Dilsterboy

Hi again, thanks for viewing. Unfortunately, I haven't yet made an American classic garage-inspired diorama, but I hope to make one, one of these days. For your diorama project, I guess it'll be best to use photos of actual American classic garages as reference and inspiration. :-)

@JFRMD Watch my new video that coming out on December 15th. It is all inspired by you. Thank you for posting your garage diorama video.

[Skittleman2341]

I like the awesome Diorama. Looks great. I will be making one. I want to know what material you used to make the floor and the walls. And so the height is 10 inches and the floor area is approximately 18"x36". Thanks. :)

[JFRMD]

@Skittleman2341

Hi there, thanks for the comment.

The walls are made of thick cardboard, the flooring is made of vinyl tiles laid on a plywood base. Good luck on your diorama. :-)

[carcrazy506]

How did you get those wall posters. They are so cool.

[JFRMD]

@carcrazy506

Hi there, and thanks for the comments. The wall posters are just cut-outs from car magazines. :-)

[carcrazy506]

Awesome

[carcrazy506]

Where did you get those wall posters

[northean]

Im very curious, how do you go about building a diorama like this? Im very interested in building one myself, but im not sure how to go about it lol. Can you throw me a few pointers? Thanks!

[JFRMD]

@northean

Hi there, sorry for the long delay in my reply. As for your question, you can visit an old google website I put up (the link can be found in the video description above)

I haven't updated that site in a while, but I hope you can still get some ideas on how to make your own diorama. :-)

[Autofanatic28]

How big is your garage? I would like to build one for myself. Thanks!

[JFRMD]

@Autofanatic28

Hi. The floor area is approximately 18"x36". Good luck with your diorama, hope to see pictures or videos of it soon!

[Autofanatic28]

@JFRMD Thanks! When I"m done with my diorama garage I will post a vid up!

You have a great looking garage! the best i've seen from any diorama garage.

[Autofanatic28]

@JFRMD Hi! Can you tell me what's the height of your diorama? Thanks!

[JFRMD]

@Autofanatic28

Hi, the height is 10 inches, hope this helps.
