Scale Model Garage
A scale model garage for my junkyard diorama. It is precise to an actual garage with studs placed “16 inch on center”. Wood door and window and removable roof.
The 2nd Garage display is a cutaway view that is more shelf friendly. Also see my brick 3 story building page for hints on how to make a structure out of drywall for your models.

How did you anchor the two post lift.

Hi, No sorry. What I did was scaled everything as 1/2 in. equals 1 ft. So knowing standard framing is usually “16 on center” I did the math to space them. The size of wall studs are, 1/4 x 1/8 x 4″ this is the size I went with to simulate a 2x4x8 board.
How tall are the walls
I did mine at 6 inch
Thank you , how large is the openings
I like the garage you made do you have any kits for sale.

I’m trying to build one model garage need to know where to find materials
I cut all the material on table saw, made the doors from balsa wood. There are many options for siding, I used corrugated craft paper for the metal look.
