Hey guys and gals,
Some time ago I bought this garage display from Ebay, and because I could get a shipping discount when I bought two I did so (one with a blue/white stripes GTS, one with a red/white stripes GTS: not a Final Edition Viper because it has the wrong rims
).
But anyways, since I have those two I bought myself an aftermarket garage tool set from GMP Diecast, and put all the items in one display. There's a floor jack smaller than a 1 dollar coin (when the bar is in the upright position), and when you move that bar down as it is in the picture below you can actually lift a scale model up with it
Apart from that there's an oil catch pan (on the small cabinet next to the drilling machine), mechanics creeper (against the wall next to the stack of wheels), a set of green oil cases (next to the black and white floor jack), 2 ramps (next to the stack of wheels and the mechanics creeper), and finally 4 jack stands (the GTS model is resting on them). The rest of the tools and equipment you see came with the model display kit itself.
Now do you guys see the tiny Sean Roe supercharger on top of the engine? I built it totally from scratch with the aid of two-component glue.
Starting with the bottom plate and the tiny strut between the centre section of the unit and the smooth tubes, they are pieces of... paper.
Centre section of the unit (silver and red) consists of a few very thin sheet styrene plates glued together.
The inlet tubes next to the centre section were once part of toothpicks, the tiny red tube in between the strut and the centre section, and the silver tube in between both intake hoses are pieces of electrical wire with the copper still being in place for added strength.
I am thinking of adding some of the wiring in the future, made out
of stretched (plastic) sprue.
And here comes the big finale:
You see the red smooth tubes? They were once part of a.... scale 1:72 AIM-9
Sidewinder missile! How about that for a power boost, lol .
Next to that (as you might see in some of the pictures, little red spots on the silver areas) the paintjob was a pain in the asp to get done right
Enough with the description, here's the picture for all of you to enjoy
