scale garage 1/10 1/8 , functional lift


Recommended Posts

ive been wanting to build something like for awhile, so i figure i give it shot .

ive started by buying a peice 1/4 inch styrene, this way i can bolt stuff to the floor.

right now im waiting the floor covering and the wall covering to come in, in the mean while

i started to build a working truck lift. fr the main post ive used 1 inch square stock with 2 actuators in them .

ive purchased a snap on toll box , which is really kool and highly detailed, also fun a reall kool engine hoist.

ive fun some other stuff too. i believe everybody will like what ive in mine . the truck lift is going to really kool when done

so lets get started
