I've been bored lately and decided to build a scale garage for my cars, they needed a proper place to be displayed anyways.
Starting with the basics:
I'm using 1/8in plywood sheets as the walls, 42 cm tall walls, which is a bit large to be truly scale, but they work for the large workshop kinda look. I thought I needed a circular saw, but it turns out you can snap the plywood with a utility knife if you run it along the panels enough and in the right direction.
As for width, about 3.2 feet wide, and 2 and a smidge feet deep. Planning to add an extra foot and a half or so of room, but I'll have to see if desk space permits.
Walls are secured by some 1x2in. wood beams on both sized on the corners, wall detailing is with 1/4in square wood dowels.
Floor is made of 1/4 MDF coated with primer. I tried spraying it with primer, but I went through a can and a half without good results, so I'm switching to a roller and some paint on primer.
As far as attaching the walls to the floor, I might put some wooden beams on the outer walls, but that may be a problem if I want a second room.
As I was shopping around for some materials, I stumbled upon some nice walnut boards, decided to pick some up to make some nice scale furniture.
I'll get some pictures in sometime later.
