Mini Garage

[MikeDuBose]

Ok, for a project I was thinking about doing a mini garage. With a working garage door. For my X-mods. What kind of things would I need besides wood to make the base out of?? I know nothing about electronics...help me out plz ;-)

Thanks.

[BlackSky909]

Hmm I would say maybe some small hobby electric motors to open the door(s) run on a small switch. That would own.

[F-150 k!ller]

yea it would make it outa wood and paint it like a real garage. and have a door that folds like real ones do!

[MikeDuBose]

Could I get those at Hungates? (A hobby store..)

[F-150 k!ller]

yea proably

[MikeDuBose]

What color should I paint it??

Black?

[BlackSky909]

Spray paint the wood pieces before you put it together.

[MikeDuBose]

Lol.. I was kidding abou that you can put what you want on it. How big do you think you want it? I would suggest drawing out like a blueprint first.

[MikeDuBose]

Not super big...something I can have like...on a nightstand or something and have a ramp going up to it. Something kind of out of the way in my room ;-). Or in the living room, hell I dunno. Somewhere. I'm heading to bed now though. L8rz.

gte some sticky paper for the printer and make one on paint.

[MikeDuBose]

If I had a printer :-/....yeah, ***..I know.

[F-150 k!ller]

o lol that sux go to like the library and do it lol

[oddryu]

sounds good man cant wait to see pics

[MikeDuBose]

Maybe this weekend if I'm not working 10 hours/day 7days/week.

[weezer]

If you want it on a nightstand, instead of having it go up a ramp, make a lift for it :rr: , jk (even though that'd be tight as hell). Good luck with your project man; if you do it right, then it would be really cool.

[MikeDuBose]

Thanks guys ;-). I'll try to get started on it this weekend. The lift sounds like a good idea. What kind of powersource would I use? Batteries? Maybe an outlet or something?

[tre_11]

good idea im might try it

[MikeDuBose]

Go ahead ;-). Not like It's copy righted. But I DO have the original idea ;-).

[MikeDuBose]

3) I will get pics up when I start building it.

[F-150 k!ller]

[kigamkcalb17]

[Untouchable123]

tell me if it works

[xmodkidd33]

kigam good work on the backing, nice rsx also
i might make a garage too lol, but out of styrene to make it lighter

[XMDrifter]

use 4 strings attatched to a motorized mini winch(make it yourself) thread through brackets and create a little cardboard lift tunnel.(with holes to see in.)

wire a 3way switch to operate the lift.
