Retread shop completed
I have completed the retread shop. The side shed addition gives it a better look. It is used to pull vehicles up to remove their tires for work. The shed is made from wood with a metal sheathed roof. The shed platform is styrene.
I added the shop doors on the front. They are made from styrene like the rest of the building.
This view shows the shed area a little better. I need to improve my lighting for these photos. The details on the shed platform include a tire, a trash can, a jack, and a set of shelving at the back which I scratch built from cardstock and paper. You can see the wires for my interior light sticking out at the back of the building.
Above is a close-up of the shelving before it was installed. I put some drawers in the top shelf and left one hanging open with a wrench sticking out. The stuff on the lower shelves is painted plastic sprue sections. The blow torch on top is a cast metal commercial detail part as is the wrench on top. The shaving is 1/2 inch high and 3/4 inch wide. There was some cursing as I fat fingered this together.
Now on to my next project - whatever that will be. Sometimes figuring out what to build can be difficult.
