The building is made of legos and I should start working on finding a model train building as a replacement sine the office door is about 3 times taller than the 288 next to it.

My junkyard was started on two large pieces of lego sheets before I converted it to styrofoam.

Great looking junk yard - reminds me of many of the ones I wandered in search of parts back in the '70's. Now...tell me...the Edsel sitting by the open door to the shop - it is there to be restored, not junked...Right? :D

Don't worry the owner came in for an oil change and detailing. That pic was a actually taken a couple months ago. I rotate the cars in the shop weekly and there's a MBX Rolls silver shadow II in its place as of right now

Cool project! I guess there is no worry about anyone attacking this with a duster or vacuum, right? Mom, don't go near the man cave please!

Nice photos, had fun looking at these! As soon as I have the room, I'm going to lock myself in whatever room is my spare and create some dio's. Haven't done that since I still lived at home.
