lightningtiger Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Hi LT!! Looking good!! Love that door. Genius!!! Well done! Thanks 'marvinblue', I've designed the stickers for this except for the staff uniforms.....I forgot about that.....oops ! I must knock up a realistic tyre rack too......oh, well I should have this finished in a few days (oh, there will not be a roof over the workshop.....this model will sit at the far corner of my display layout right next to the Coles Express servo)......keep watching !

ER0L Posted November 10, 2013 Great job, guess I've never seen a folding door like this, that's a nice idea. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Great job, guess I've never seen a folding door like this, that's a nice idea. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Thanks 'ER0L', I'll have the doors fitted with glass pieces today plus signs, custom figures and tyre rack too.....so keep watching ! (but give me a few more hours though I just got up ) Edit - By the way to prove that a Coles Express and Kmart Tyre & Auto goes togther.....

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted November 10, 2013 Brilliant idea for the garage's door! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks 'LT12V', now for the update......only I must design a new trolley jack. More to come......keep watching ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Just quickly now.....one trolley jack.... There is enough clearance with a vehicle jacked up to change a wheel.....it's held together by tubing....the only Lego parts I ever cut. Keep watching ! Edit - another shot of the whole design so far..... Edited November 11, 2013 by lightningtiger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickmanJ Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Oooh, I like where this is going, I like the way you did the door effect. I don't think I wouldv'e thought about that. Keep up the good work! :-D I agree! I like where this is going; it has lots of potential to be really great. I, also, would not have thought of the door idea.

lightningtiger Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks 'BrickmanJ' for your kind words, I studied industrial technology back thirty years ago (well, 29 actually) plus design as well which was thirty years ago so I have developed the knack for thinking outside the box....like the doors and trolley jack. Keep watching.....I'm still thinking does this need anything else ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
