As everyone could find out in recent review by Pandora, Barney Bear (3629) has a very charming car. I got my Barney (my first FABULAND set) with the beauty in 1981. But in order to protect that vintage car for many more years to come, he surely needs a garage! This is my entry for the FABULAND Building contest:
Here is my take on what could Barney's garage look like (with small terrace/garden on the roof):
Beside cars, Barney is a bit into gardening (on multiple levels!) as well in hopes of catching Bonnie's interest one day:
The roof is removable in one piece to access and show how the car fits in. There's a space for Barney's wrench, car brush and vacuum cleaner on the shelves below the window (left side) as well. The garage has working doors on both ends (it is a public secret in Fabuland Barney is not particularly strong while going in reverse):
Here's the illustration how the garage door open and close:

Please note I am competing with the building, not with the car (it is only slightly pimped up). The car is used here mainly to illustrate how it fits in this custom garage.
Thank you for your possible votes, and good luck to all other participants!
