I used four foam boards,two top and bottom.I painted the road and driveway with spatter paint and I used RusOleum Multicolor Textured paint around the edges of the road and driveway.I'm using balsa wood for the garage.The floor is balsa and I glued poster board and spraid it with gray primer.Still a lot to do...  |

I'm building this to look something like my fathers garage/workshop.His has textured board siding that looks like stucco.I found some poster board that looks like stucco and I painted it light green,just because my house is light green.I'm starting on the door and window trim now.   |

No building plans for this,I just went by 1/2" = 1'. Along with the trim I am also working on the trusses.

I finally got back to the garage.I used tar paper for the shingles cut into strips then I cut the slits for the shingles.  |

I used staples and glue to attatch the shingles.I put the first row up side down then worked my way up.I cut squares for the top cap pieces and glued them on.I used the same trunk spatter paint I used on my parking lot diorama.Unfortunitly the paint goes on thick so I had to recut most of the slits.I used a new blade in my utility knife to cut the excess shingles from the front and back.  |
