Recently I decided I wanted to build a garage diorama to display my model cars. I searched the internet and couldn't find any "starter" type kits. I decided I would try to build my own from scratch with no previous experience and a very tight budget. I will be doing my best to document the progress and the budget.

| Just a mock up of the Mopar Garage. |
 |
| The shelf was originaly the tire rack but I used some blue cardboard to make shelves. |
 |
| The tool chest was from a small kit, I added the decals from one of my Charger kits |
 |
| The oil drum and gas can are from the same kit and the decals are from one of my Charger kits as well |
 |
| Garage fodder, Some of the random bits left over from model kits, |
I started with a shoe box as a mock up to give me an idea of scale and what I wanted as far as garage design. Eventually, I will be using foam board for the walls and floor and will be covering the floor with (possibly) contact paper. I am going to be using a lot of the extra parts from my model cars as garage fodder and since they are from kits I won't be factoring them into the budget. I have bought a small accessory set with a tool chest, ramps, tire rack, oil drum and air compressor. I plan to buy an engine hoist, floor jack, and jack stands. I am also planning to build the shelves and benches myself from styrene and wood.
