The turned I beam at the top makes it look really awkward and top heavy in my opinion... I'll give it a look-see and come up with something. LoL

In order to help the floor sections line up, I cut some beams to pace underneath: These are drying on one side, now, and will be glued to the other side tomorrow.

I added some "pipe" to the drill press, to get it up where it needs to be:

I think the way it was made, originally, was meant to be mounted to a table top.

That drill press does look much better and believable now. Nice work! I also commend you on the expansion as well.

This is going to be one fantastic garage diorama, when completed Buck.

I have another of the garage kits, so I took the base pieces from that to do the expansion. I cut the front flanges off, so I can mate up the bases: Now, maybe all 24 MINIONS, and the tools, and a model can fit in this garage! LOL I'm thinking you need two more sections with that big crew and a car wash on the end...

Lol Bucky!!! What is the overall measurement of the whole garage???

12 inches by 16 inches. I may try for three walls.

Gonna need a big shelf for that one!!! My thought for me is a few store fronts the back of a few shelves for photos and displays...the shelf will be the street...

Mockup on the larger floor: Not final placement. Just getting an idea of where to place things.

Here's a blown up Chevy engine on a stand, for the MINIONS to practice on while they wait on a MOPAR engine to break down!
