opinions on idea for workshop diorama
Have an idea in my mind for a workshop diorama for a while and saw these in a toy catalogue recently
1.
2.
By leaving out a few bits and a few modifications it should be possible to do what I want with either of them but the preference is to go with the first one. By using the wall templates from http://www.carrera4fun.de/
I can make it look fairly ok inside
What think you all

Re: opinions on idea for workshop diorama
It looks a great idea Peter - should look mighty fine once filled with rally cars, mechanics and tools.

Re: opinions on idea for workshop diorama
There is a young farmer in this house who has one. They are big. The one he has is in your picture (with the tractor inside) is 500 to 600mm square. At some stage I would like to build one in 1:18. Have gathered a few bits.

Don't sell the cows just yet - can be used in other dioramas

Dave it was in the Smyths Toys catalogue over here http://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/toys/construction-cars/c-399/farm-vehicles-accessories/p-3021/wooden-cattle-shed-with-cubicles/
They have a UK site but it doesn't come up on the search
Sorry to disappoint guys but "Animals, tractors and farm machinery not included." however my youngest niece has a few farm animals in a box somewhere so maybe one or two of those might make an appearance sometime
And keeping with the car theme I got her one of her Christmas presents today
yes I am a bad influence but she wants to be a doctor and drive rally cars when she grows up

I was wondering what to use the rooms at the back for, was thinking office and store, might put an engine/transmission area in the open bit on the left and a spray booth at the back right
Re: opinions on idea for workshop diorama
Thanks Peter, I found a similar one in the UK catalogue

Re: opinions on idea for workshop diorama
Have been busy on the ol ebay over the weekend, bench, gas cylinders, snap on tools, loose hand tools and a few more bits ordered. Have a couple of spare cars at home to be stripped down to remove cages, seats, wheels etc. Just need to find a reasonably priced 2 or 4 post lift and I should be well on the way
