Lol. They are real. The Zakspeed Capri is a HO scale car, which is 1:87 scale, so it is 1:8.7 scale in 1:10 scale garage. So it is a bit bigger than a 1:10 scale car. I do not know of any smaller ones. HO scale has loads of different cars so they would be fine for a scale garage, and perfect for scale crawlers as most of them is 1.8.5 scale. For the Hornets, those are the 1:60 ones that came out in 05' I belive. There is several others in that series as well. These are really a tad too big for a 1:10 scale garage as they are 1:6 scale, similar to a HPI Baja would be in that scale. For this reason I have bought some Georgia coffee miniature vehicles that are 1:10 scale of 1:10 scale, aka 1:100 in real life. Those came out in 05' from a Coca Cola owned coffee brand called Georgia. Very popular in Japan it seems. Georgia has also done a new series in recent years of miniature Tamiya vehicles. Most of them has non boxart colors, The could be seen as custom scale cars Here is a picture of those 1:60 aka 1:6 mini rc collection cars pulled from the web. I got all the Hornet versions, black, blue and clear. ![]() They are really tiny ![]() The Georgia cars are even smaller, 40% of the size of the Tamiya ones. ![]() ![]() I have bought 9 of those Georgia miniature scale cars that will live in a shelf rack with lights if all goes to according to plan. Bought the from Japan via ebay so it will take a month give or take before I see them. Have also just made a big order from Rob Edwards for more scale boxes and he is also going to make some posters for me. The posters is a simpler edition of his display cards And yeserday I bought several lengths of 10x10mm balsa square stock which will be made into my wall and roof beams. |

Yesterday I glued most of the floor.
May seems a bit random bits of tools, but it was strickly some bits that needed some weight to be glued down properly as not all planks are straight. ![]() Today I glued most of the back wall. Some bits needed help at the top to stick down so the rest will be done tomorrow. ![]() I left the bit behind the workbenc clear of planks as it will house the 12v transformer. ![]() Plenty of room for that ![]() ![]() After the last picture was taken I realised I do not have to cut the wall for taking out the transformer, as the bench will be removeable. I simply just need to bolt it to the back wall and just make holes for the wire to go through I will double up the width of the shelves for the Tamiya boxes so they can sit on a angle so it will hold more kits in the same space. There will also be a shelf on the left wall. I have 10 more kit boxes coming so the shelf to the left is needed. The workbench top plate and the shelves will be glued together tomorrow. Need to make a jig of some sort as I have not that small clamps while the glue is drying. I hope I will have it done in a few weeks time |

Love it. But I remind my uncle's barn where lived a ds, the floor wasn't straight. Lot of dust and wood dust. (Ok it was a up to 100years typical alps mountain house built in the rock. )

All wood is now glued, apart from the afterthought which I still need to make.
![]() ![]() The 12v transformater is now secured and holes was made for the wires. It might be a bit warm with use, so I will space it outwards to let air circulate. ![]() Tomorrow I will either cut the windows or making the beams, or both depending what I feel up to. |
