Chris Comport Builds a Garage
Here's Chris's description of what went into the "Emil's Busted Knuckle Garage ca 1941" diorama.
"I used one Archie's Bar kit (DD9), one Mai Wah Noodles (DD20), and one Ace Auto (DD22) and reconfigured the walls to form the diagonal corner entrance. I cut that wall open to fit a Grandt Line #3622 (Victorian Recessed Double Doorway). For the windows on either side of the door, I inserted a pair of Grandt #3714 (Engine House Windows) but cut the top sash into an awning-style window.
"The roll-up door on the garage is scratch-built from cardstock and stripwood, and the pump island was cut from your Sidewalk castings (DD18) with a styrene canopy. Most of the other details (pumps, trashcans, lights, barrels) were from various suppliers. A lot of tires and junk were my own castings.
"I used the cornice from both kits to cap the garage. The cornice brick over the office section was cast in a mold I made of the Revell Engine House wall. The vehicles are modified Ertl and Solido."
