Seeing all the great garage builds starting lately sparked my interest, so I thought I'd give it a go....and what such fun am I having!!!

Rather than just work towards the finished product, I'm doing a few different stages to cover the "lifecycle" of my garage...before it becomes a car garage.....and will have a little fun with it along the way.

So the space I'm working with is quite small, the diorama itself is only around 850mm x 450mm x 550mm. It's more of a backdrop with just the two walls rather than a full "drive in" garage.

So we pick up the story to find our hero has just finished building his house. It's just hit lock up stage and the garage is being used as a bit of a work area/storage room/rubbish dump!!

These are made out of Parachute cord and sewn together with heavy duty thread. The thread is then covered with shrink tube to keep it from coming apart and taking years of abuse!
Here is one from 2008
