Morries Custom Shop

Hi I finaly finished my first Diorame, we i'll call it finished for now.. I just wanted a back drop to take photo's but got a bit carried away. being a painter I definitely had to have a big spray booth, it even fits 1/24 trucks.

Sorry For a lot  of photo's just pretty stoked how it come out.

This is great work Morrie, Aces mate! It's obvious my boys don't work there cause all the tools are away and everything isn't covered in grease. Looking forward to your next diorama.

That's very cool  

Fantastic. Some great detail here. I really like the rust on your spray booth iron, your mesh gate and the paint around the lids of some of the paint tins on the shelf. A lot of time has gone in to this.

....and I meant to ask you - Where did you get the Refridgerator  ?

Thanks for the compliments guy, it's addictive once you start with the details and thinking of more and more things you can do, like the paint cans that took a bit of time.

Yes it's time consuming that's for sure.

I made the fridge myself, just used a block of balsa wood, shaping it only took about 20 minutes. then had to coat the whole thing with a thin layer of putty so I could paint it, the handle looks like a proper one, but its just car door handle off a kit that I had in my p[arts box.

You can buy G scale dolls house ones but there modern fridges and don't look as cool as the old retro ones.

 Thats outstanding Morrie . I am currently working on a dio myself and you have given me both ideas and inspiration . Again , great effort

  Great detail, and the weathering is spot on

 fantastic a great deal of detail have gone into your diorama, love it all

You did a great job on the fridge. I recognise parts from the Fujimi Garage Tools kit and some from Phoenix Toys sets. Another place you can get some 1/24 garage gear is SMBC ( Scale Modelling By Chris ) They make resin parts. I thought it may be one of their fridges. Have a look at their website some time.
Look forward to seeing your next dio.

That is a pretty AWSOME  job there Morrie, love the paint cans and all those other little things mate, brilliant job!!

Very nice and impressive work.

Sweet.

 ...nice work.

This is really well done , so much great detail , I like this a lot .

Morrie!...only 3 words from me  to describe your work here mate!...
Absolutely Friggin' Brilliant!.

Excellent stuff...................just so cool, it has all the right things!!!!!

Sorry for all the pics?? Don't be mate!! It's a great piece of work you got there. Makes me want to start my garage dio. But I am between houses atm and have no hobby station.. But well done, so much detail and thought.

I've done a bit more to my Diorama, I went to a model show a couple weekends ago in Newcastle and found a stall for a fella that makes diecast diorama stuff so I bought some new tools, couple of drills. a vice and engine stand with engine parts to add to my tool benches.

I also bought a stack of led lights off ebay, so I scratch built some light fittings and installed lights into my spray boot.
think it makes it look a bit more realist now









Some cast heads, crank and pistons.


New back to my bench with new tools, vice and drills, all diecast.

It just got better. Lights look great!

Lights look great.

way cool diorama

What can I say but…….
