Porsche Garage Diorama 2008
by Alvin L.

Porsche Garage 1 | Porsche Garage 2 | Porsche garage 3

 

Everything is in 1/24 scale. The building structure and loft are scratch built. The 3 cars are Tamiya kits. The GT3 (painted in the colors of the German flag) was first lowered, and then I added Aoshima 19in Volk Racing wheels.

I used Tamiya smoke paint to tint the windows and all the decals used on this kit are from my decal pile. The blue GT2 was a very involved project, I started by cutting the driver's door off and I used the Renaissance resin door and door jam I got from Strada Sports. The hood was then cut out and everything under the hood was scratch built including the fuel cell with Detailmaster braided lines and Model Car Garage provided the photo etch hardware for the fuel cell and Scale Motorsports photo etch hardware was used on the brake rotors.

Decals from my decal pile were also used on this model. The 959 was meant to look like it was being restored with newspaper on the windows and primer on repaired panels.


To develop my diorama I collected a lot of reference pictures, I drew on my own experiences in various shops and I also added a few of my own ideas. Below is a list of all the parts used in my diorama. All of the parts used came unassembled and unpainted, and almost all are resin.

  • Fujimi- tools, welding tanks, figures, shelves and miscellaneous parts
  • R & D Unique- air compressor, bench grinder.
  • Scale Equipment LTD- utility cart, hand truck, water cooler, hydraulic press, brake lathe, wheel balancer, tire machine, milling machine,cardboard boxes, 55 gallon drums, machinist lathe.
  • Scale Modeling By Chris- tool boxes, sink, parts washer, small bottles and cans.
  • Evergreen & Plastruct- miscellaneous bits and pieces.

  • Porsche 917: The Winning Formula - The super-fast Porsche 917 dominated international motorsport in the early 1970s. Designed to win the world-famous Le Mans 24 Hours race, the 917 became the focus of obsessive ambition for all connected with its spectacular existence. Here, from a Porsche expert with unprecedented access to company records and the engineers involved, is the full story of the 917, which in 1997 was voted the world's greatest racing car. Includes coverage of 917 development, the 1970 Le Mans 917 win, the 1100bhp racers, and drivers Elford, Redman, Attwood and Bell describing racing in an era when mistakes could so often prove fatal. Must-have literature for your racing library!
  • Porsche 911: Perfection by Design - The story is matched with superb photos. As is often the case with images captured by Leffingwell’s lens, many are the kind you’ll pore over before turning the page. Porsche 911 lovers are in no way lacking for printed reading material. A glance at the average bookseller’s shelf may turn up more Porsche books than any other marque. It takes a great deal to set a new 911 book apart from the crowd, but a near coffee-table-sized format, stylish design and beautiful magazine-style photography do the trick.
  • Superdioramas - With a very suitable title, this book highlights the work of two very accomplished and ambitious modelers, Lewis Pruneau and Bob Letterman, both of which were inspired and befriended by Francois Verlinden early in his career. Francois immediately published this first book dedicated to their work in order to introduce them to the rest of the scale modeling community. The book focuses on only three pieces of their work, but in reality a book could easily have been made for each of these massive pieces. The first piece, entitled The Paris Gun, is a 1:35 scale monster of a German railroad mounted gun built from scratch by Lewis Pruneau. Depicted in a diorama as it appeared during construction in the factory, this piece is comprehensively detailed from every side to a very high level of realism. The next piece, also by Lewis, is of a dry-docked German experimental U-Boat undergoing maintenance. Again, the entire piece is built from scratch, with many photographs taken during construction. This piece truly illustrates the talents of this bold modeler. The final article focuses on a miniature city in 1:35 scale by Bob Letterman. Depicting a French city undergoing liberation from the Germans by Pattons forces during WWII, it truly must be seen to be believed. Although the main theme is clearly shown in the form of U.S. Army convoys moving past columns of German P.O.W.s in the city, seemingly countless details can be seen, from individual vignettes on street corners, to different European architectural styles. This book is a must for every modeler, artist, military enthusiast, and history buff.
