Here are some pictures of a Ferrari Showroom the I just finished scratch build. The majority of the building is made from 1/8 inch fibreboard from Home Depot. I began construction using foam board but found it to flimsy. The cars are from GFCC, Classic Lovers and Dream Models. Little people, couch and chair, and lighting are from Aliexpress.

WOW Ken, that’s an incredible build! How bout some details like how many hours and $ did you invest in your creation? The cars are what I like most along with your lighting design. Thanks for all the pics 👍🙌

@100ford2003. Thanks Steve: Glad you like it. Although I didn't keep track of how long it took to build, I estimate that about 10 hours went into it.I do have a breakdown in costs as I kept track: People(50 in a bag) $5.09, Couch & chair $5.29,LED light strips $3.37, Ferrari logo and metal shield on back wall $13.18,fibre board $7.89 (although I have alot left over),evergreen trees $1.98, landscaping (brown turf and 1/8"x1/8" balsa $3.71), red paint $6.77. Total $47.22.Some of the paint and other supplies I had on hand.The silver metal "Ferrari" name on the front and shield on the back was only about $3.00 on Ebay but they charged me $10 to ship. So for under $40 including people, furniture,etc. not bad.
The ferrari shield and other logo on the front wall were printed from the internet, downsized and colored yellow with a marker. The Ferrari pictures on the rear wall were also taken from the internet and downsized. The roof is made of 40 grit heavy duty coarse sandpaper. The main showroom floor is made of shiny white foam board from the dollar store that I originally used for the build but changed course.

That’s a hefty investment that sure looks more expensive. You already had the model Ferrari’s though so what a perfect way to show them off!

Great idea and finished project. When you move it, do you have to disassemble it?
