That is precisely the sort of outdoor building I would like to have as a model car building workshop. . .

Thanks, David.

The building is my 1:1 repair and fabrication shop.  My modeling space is a corner of the basement.

Okay, I see . . . I presumed (wrongly) that you had moved your model building space out to the heated building from your basement corner.

Exterior of the shop pretty much done (still need to add the external part of the furnace chimney) and placed on the diorama.  Just need to "landscape" around the foundation.  Took a little head-scratching to find a reasonably logical place to put it.

Inside details are largely done tho things may occur to me later on.  Printing hand tools at 1:64 is pretty sketchy.  I used to be able to find photo etched stuff online but can't remember the search phrase that brought them up.

The building looks good in that location, Paul.

For the hand tools, I've seen some people find a good image of tools on a pegboard and just print it to scale using a regular printer.  In 1/64 scale one doesn't really need much more than that.

I grabbed this one from Amazon, it just took a few seconds to find.
