D. Krakow Auto Repair in 1/87 scale

You have done a nice adaptation of the original Anders! Those doors should look great in there.

I have seen electric meters in seemingly unreadable locations-though it is more unusual.

Beautiful work, Anders.   I'm honored to have my name on this fine establishment!

This project continues to prove satisfactory, constructive comments notwithstanding. We have some fine modelers here, don't we? -- Russ

I love the progress! And the chipped paint is great, I was wondering though, how tall are the meter readers in your country? Because he or she would need to be 10 foot tall to read your electrical meter
Gil
In Idaho where we now have digital meters that send the info automatically, no meter readers here

Beautifully done Anders!

Mock up for locker and restroom area. Don´t know if I need to raise the walls up to the peak...don´t think so. Any suggestions welcome.

It probably would look better if you did meet the roof line, especially if you would be taking photographs in through the open door from the little peoples eye level

I am loving all the detail you are doing, takes me back 50 years to when I was working in one!!

Beautiful work!

RE: the restroom/locker room walls... Continuing the walls up to the peak doesn't seem prototypical to me. I think it would be more likely to have a ceiling. If this would affect your access to the interior, perhaps the ceiling could be removable.

I've seen a number of old garages where the office &c resembled a box set down inside the main building. The gap between the top of the office area and the underside of the main roof trusses provided a convenient storage space for assorted junk that might come in useful one day.

I'm planning to do something like Ray suggested in my shop ... ceiling over the rest room will be removable to allow for lighting/detailing ... cosmetically, it will serve as a sort of storage loft ... where some small things get shoved to get them out of the way ...

Hi guys and many thanks for all the valuable input will make everything look much better. Relocated the now world famous meter, put up a different sign on the small building and the No Smoking sign is now more typical of the era. Concerning the interior walls I guess the height shown in the mock up picture is now in favour. Will shoot some interior pictures of the garage soon - detailing has started today.

Can´t really get those white walls to photograph well indoors. Might sound as a bad excuse for sloppy work but they do look much better in reality. Maybe Russ can help. Anyway will shoot them outdoors when it´s not -15 c. like today. Here is a picture from a previous project taken outdoors although not a white building it makes a big difference in my opinion.

Thanks for the photo of another project, Anders. 
You do some really good work.  Wonderful attention to detail.
Got any more photos from the srchives?

[Chuck Doan]

Low interior walls with a ceiling is perfectly fine. I work in a building where the offices and restrooms are just like that.

[Junior]

Thanks for that info Chuck actually those walls are almost done now.

Thanks Ken - that particular picture is from a machine shop that will be included in the next issue of The Annual. Will post other projects soon.

First work on the interior.

Lights are just temporary and looks funny. This pic. was shot with Helicon Focus and the camera moved slightly during the two exposures.
