Custom made 1/64 scale diorama display piece, this is a 1/43 scale wall cabinet from an old Estes Great Garages diorama kit from around 1999, painted to look weathered and aged, with a top, legs and back made from scrap birch plywood I got at my work from the warehouse and cut to size with sharp utility scissors, and the bench vise and drill press are 1/64 scale accessories I have had for a while.

The US quarter is for scale, and all of the metallic finish areas were made with a Molotow Liquid Chrome 1mm marker over a silver Sharpie basecoat. The wood parts that would be exposed to oil, grease, gasoline, diesel fuel, soot, grime and the like and all other areas but the tools and back have been weathered with Testors weathering paint markers.
