Another fall Timonium purchase, this garage will become part of my automobile diorama additions eventually.

I like that a lot. I'm planning on a "Spruce Hardware" - with "The World's Largest Hammer" out front. It will be somewhat modeled on Pierson Hardware in Eureka, California, "Home of the Big Hammer." There's like a 2 or 3 story hammer out front. I figure a small wooden handled 8 ounce hammer will work pretty well - drill an angled hole in the bottom and set it on a metal dowel - instant "Big" item - in this case a hammer.
I'm going to start looking for a nice small screwdriver or crescent wrench for my layout and an associated garage, too.

I think it came with some dollar store mechanic set. A coat of flat yellow paint was all it needed

| So THAT's who it's made by Unfortunately I can't take credit for the detailing. The only thing I made was the sign.
