I bought this when it first came out and never did anything with it. Looking at yours I can't stop thinking about digging them out. Nice Work!!! Great Job!!!
Thanks Mike, better open your kit up and make a start, there are so many little builds you can do one at a time while waiting for paint and glue to dry on the bigger builds.
Hiya, Steve. I've just watched this video again. I think you did a brilliant job 👍🤩. Thanks for showing and best wishes from jolly old England. 🤓Pete 😎
@@ModelCarMinion I've built a few parts. Then got a sectioned box to store them in and add a few bits at a time along with some other tools etc. Good fun 🛠️⌚more power! 🤓Pete 😎
That is a cool set! I don't have that one at the Hobby Store, but I do have the walls. - i like your chipped yellow paint on that hoist. that's how they really look after years of use. - that red backed swivel chair...I've sat in a few of those over the years! LOL! Gee...that garage is so full of stuff that I wonder if I should book an appointment with you to send you some model car auto repairs. I have a 1941 AMT Plymouth Businessman's coupe that I painted black and built when I was 8-12 years old. I was comparing it to a metallic red one I built 25+ years later. Anyway, yesterday I had to move my black Plymouth and I grabbed it by the sides to lift it up when the old glue in it let go and I watched in horror as the entire interior, motor and frame dropped out and fell from a height of @ 40 inches right on to the concrete floor of my basement! Parts shot out everywhere and it's like a "Lego Explosion". I picked up the 20+ parts that were once a full model kit and put them in the back seat. Do you think your mechanics can fix that?
The minion mechanics can fix it but it may not look the same when they finish, never can tell what they will do. Sorry to hear it was wrecked, hope you can put it back together, maybe better than new. That red swivel chair is based on a real one I have here that a neighbour was throwing out.
@@ModelCarMinion Thank you...actually, in a way it is good that it broke. i was young and didn't scrape the paint off at the contact points...or didn't do enough of it in places. So when it "Broke", it really "let go"...as in it separated instead of "broke". The second "good part" is that I have some of those old driver figures from the 1932 "Gangbusters" Chrysler. One of the guys fits nicely in the driver's seat, can hold the steering wheel and doesn't bump his head on the roof when I put him back in the car. I am planning on doing a diorama and this "Accident" actually worked out well for that.
@@ModelCarMinion Oh yes...and the nice part is that Round2 is bringing it out again, coming this year. In fact, I should try and build mine before that happens! :D
Thanks Laurent, they are fun to build, I do a little at a time in between doing other car builds. They are good practice for dry brushing and weathering.
Yeah its awsome buddy i wanted this last year but couldn find it so only got my little garage same price the garage with tool goes for i end up buying tools seperate and exact same ANTIQUE GARAGE KIT TO ADD ON IM WAITING ON FREIND TO POST ME A LIFT KIT FROM AMT HE PICKED UP OVER THERE FOR ME IN EXCHANGE FOR THE KIT I SENT HIM TOO SO I SENT HIM HIS THURESDAY MY ONE BE SENT THIS WEEK SOME TIME
Thanks Dan, my father ran an Esso Service station for over 35 years and I hope to make a replica of it from memory. I need to research what materials to use to build the structure.
Thanks Gary, I'm hoping to (some day) scratch build a replica of an Esso service station that my father ran. I may do a smaller work shop dio for practice but I expect to do a fair bit of research on materials to use.
@@ModelCarMinion Cool. The one I was building I had to essentially trash it. I have the Fujimi Garage as well as the Academy Joe's Gas Station kit so I will likely go with one of those for my next attempt
@@thefalloutshelter7799 I had to look up the Joe's Gas Station kit pictures, that kit can get expensive. The service station I plan to do will look much like it but with 2 service bays on the left side of the office part. I hope you don't give up on your diorama plans.
Looks like I'm here again to refresh my tired old brain,Steve. Adding weights to those items is something I must remember 👍😎Pete 🤓
I just watched the video again to remind myself. 😀 Hope it inspires you.
I bought this when it first came out and never did anything with it. Looking at yours I can't stop thinking about digging them out. Nice Work!!! Great Job!!!

The devil's in the detail Steve. You sure have achieved a very authentic look. A great video my friend.
Thanks Geoff, I did some picture research on-line to get the right look.
Great work, love the granular details of weathering...
Thanks for the comment, hope it inspires you.
You did a great job with all the tools, and making them look used Steve. They don't look like toys to me!
Thanks Vince, that's the look I was going for..."They're NOT toys!!".
Hiya, Steve. I've just watched this video again. I think you did a brilliant job 👍🤩. Thanks for showing and best wishes from jolly old England. 🤓Pete 😎
Thanks Pete, I had to watch it again myself. There are so many tools so it is a lot of fun to paint and weather these kits.
@@ModelCarMinion I've built a few parts. Then got a sectioned box to store them in and add a few bits at a time along with some other tools etc. Good fun 🛠️⌚more power! 🤓Pete 😎
@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 That's what I've done as well. Hope to see some videos of your work.
Those are so cool Steve. Thanks for sharing. Ron
Thanks for the comment Ron, glad you enjoyed it.
Wow that kit is really detailed looks great Steve
Thanks Jeff, the ferrets would have fun hiding these little pieces.
Model Car Minion you’d never find them again

Thanks Russ, hope to see your build.
Wow, great kit, will make a cool diorama!!
Thanks Oron, I'm gettng quite a collection of tools.
These are pretty cool sets and it looks great.
Thanks Joe, I've enjoyed these builds.
Supper detail think your scatch build and "add ons" are supper, Mini fun...KA
Thanks Kerry, these small builds help develop some hand painting experience.
Looks good few great ideas 👍👍well donevits looking cool
Thanks Keith glad you like the build.
Now this is a build that grabs an old grease monkeys heart. Awesome job brother.
Thanks Rob, I'm hoping to build a service station diorama.
Awesome work on all of these, thanks for sharing the kit with us!....Bill
Thanks for the comment Bill, glad you enjoyed the videos.
Good job, well done.
Thanks for the comment. These tools are fun to paint and add weathering.
Great video. I was thinking about ordering it, now I need it. Thanks, and I'm a subscriber.
Thanks for the comment and the sub, I found your channel and sub'ed you back, I like what you are doing with the 56 Ford Pickup.

Really cool great build
Thanks Shawn they are fun to work on during other builds.
THANKS FOR THAT! AM ABOUT TO DO ONE OF THESE MYSELF!
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad my video may encourage you, hope you post some pictures of your work. Enjoy the build.
You got that looking great nice down
Thanks Butch, they are nice kits.
That's the best look at that kit I've seen. Really really nice work too Steve! Love the tank cart!
Thanks Mike, there seem to be a few open box reviews but no other built kits.
Super Steve, the details and improvements are beautiful. You must have had a lot of fun with all these little pieces. It's really great!👍
Thanks Laurent, they are fun to build, I do a little at a time in between doing other car builds. They are good practice for dry brushing and weathering.
Look great Steve
Thanks for watching Big C.
@@ModelCarMinion you're welcome, my pleasure
Looks great. I have two garage kits with an amt lift. I’m planning a diorama for final videos. Can’t wait to see yours. 👍🤘
Thanks, my diorama may take a long time to get to, have to do some build research. :0)
Great video
Thanks for checking it out.
Wow you are doing great with this, love it 👍
Thanks Dustin they good little builds to practice weathering.
Nice job
Thanks for checking it out Mike.
Great work on them Steve, :) 😎 👍
Thanks Tom, I enjoy trying to make them look realistic.

Thanks for that review👍 I've just ordered a set. Really like your vids. Keep up the good work. Best wishes from jolly old England. Pete
Thanks for the comment Pete, I just sub'ed your channel, Keep on building and posting your builds.
BTW, did you receive the garage tools kit?
@@ModelCarMinion oh yes. Fujimi garage is well worth it. Great car lift and large jack lots of tools. Pete😎
Great job Steve. They look so real. Are you going to build a garage/service station to put them in? Two big 👍👍 from me. Keep having fun buddy. Papadan
Thanks Dan, my father ran an Esso Service station for over 35 years and I hope to make a replica of it from memory. I need to research what materials to use to build the structure.
Looking awesome Steve. That Canadian penny is a rare object these days haha
Are you planning to scratch build a garage or using a kit?
Thanks Gary, I'm hoping to (some day) scratch build a replica of an Esso service station that my father ran. I may do a smaller work shop dio for practice but I expect to do a fair bit of research on materials to use.
