New shop Diorama

Well I think I will have another go at this as its been sat away too long and I have gathered a nice few bits up to crack on

Just spent a couple hours looking on the tinternet for a suitable door that I can put in the shop diorama.
I found one then set about printing on normal paper different sizes till I was happy and stuck a "STAFF ONLY" sign on that then printed off in glossy photograph paper.
Just took a pic, but will put it on later today.


More parts found and i write a list what I want in it as i go along then ad more.
I need to design the counter and shelving too as I want parts to stand out right so they can be seen.
Bits like the pigs ears and the front spoiler and headlamps and stuff.
With the Escort notices i wrote them on flourescent cars, but i want this to be different so if I can print them I will.

I need to try and research again Motorsport shops so that i can see layouts for parts stands and racks etc and I would like a tyre stand with different types of treaded tyres and tyre makes.
a stand for bucket seats.

I am toying with the idea of making a frame up then make another wall so I can ad enough parts but not go overboard so it looks like a cramped shop as I have the customers to place about the shop.

Decided to do the floor in black and white type tiles checks so it makes it stand out more

is this still the 6r4 shop?

Yes Paul, still the 6R4 shop, hence Mark's comments about 'pigs ears', also known as 'donkey d0ngs', I believe!?

We 6R4 fanatics have a language all our own!

Good ideas there, Mark. Will be pleased to see how you're progressing in the coming days/ nights! You were up late last night/ this morning!!

Cheers, Steve

Aye

Still the 6R4 shop Paul, but I am thinking of a Subaru WRC shop (spits on the floor) next

Don't look at it then

lol
Need to get some thin good clear plasti card now.
This is gonna be a good long term project

We have that flooring in work reception & on our desk top

Just hope it looks ok when on the floor of the diorama

it will look well!

Can't decide whether to make a shop front or leave it open so you can see better into it

open,its better to see the detail inside....except you can make it in a way the front lifts away?

A little bit more work tonight
Pics up in a bit

Bit more to do, but adding another door on and plug sockets on the walls

floor looks well!

Taking shape nicely, Mark

I'm aware of where you got the '6r4' wall graphic from Mark - clever thinking! - but a lowercase 'r'!

That is 6R4 treason and you should be hung, drawn & quartered for that!

If i can get the old lettering off without damage i will change, if not it will stay.
Cant wait to start fitting it out with spares
