Tools from your dad’s garage

Hello gear heads (plastic as it may be) I’m happy to announce that after a few months of cooking I finally finished my “garage deco” sets.

I got tired of the same tired injection molded offerings and decided to make my own at 1:25 1:24 scale. I’m in the process of setting up shop, but here’s a sneak peek of what I’m cooking up.

Excellent work, even appears to be missing the 10 mm socket.

Looks good!

There always seemed to be a pair of cut off catalytic converters from the 1970’s laying around too…wink

Looks awesome!

One subject that modelers might be demanding are 1/35 police lightbars. I’ve seen many past posts asking for this item but no one makes it in 1/35 scale.

Here is a sample lightbar. It’s not the specific one modelers are asking for, but it’s the latest thin iteration of a police LED lightbar.

You’re welcome. :grinning:

Lightbars are for MRAPs, M113s, pickup trucks, SUVs, vans, and HMMWVs that are no longer in military service and passed down to S.W.A.T. police.

MENG produces a 1/35 F-350 that a lightbar can go on for police or fire service. You can even make the A-pillar windshield LED spotlights if you so desire.
