I put some contact paper on the floor to look like tile:

I needed a stand for the drill press:

Well, I wasn't completely satisfied with the drill press stand, so I went with this: I added a piece of 'pipe' to raise the drill higher off the floor. Looks a bit better.

Every good MINION's garage needs a busted Chevy engine on a stand to while away the hours, waiting on a MOPAR engine to mess up! This engine and stand comes in the Estes kit: It may not represent a Bowtie slug, but that's what I'm callin' it! LOL

Dang Kieth, dirty that place up a bit. After all, Minions aren't all that tidy! LOL

Along the way, I figured out that the floor from one kit wasn't gonna be enuff for all the MINIONS to tear things up! So. out came the DREMEL: I cut the flanges off one side of the floors from this kit, and the other ESTES kit in the stash: I added some reinforcements to the bottom: This is how the floor looks with a few messy MINIONS: Now, I have room for two cars, and some more stuff: I may only place one car, and the MINION crew, with all their tools of destruction!! HAHAHA I've got a bunch more done, and will get some pics, soon.

I remember finding these many, many moons ago in Walmart. If I remember right, they were quite expensive. Once they sold out I never seen them again in 1/24th scale... Always 143rd scale... Nice work on the stuff!!! Over the years the clear plastic covers got cloudy and kinda scratched up, do I built a larger garage and used all the accessories for the new bigger garage...

That's a cool looking setup, Steve! I can't go much bigger than what I have here, because of space limitations in the old hobby room! LOL
