Dry fit with car inside

Whenever a contest build comes up, I often end up with two good ideas that are completely different and I have to choose one direction or another. Such is the case with the HBS Creatin' Contest this year. I bought the kit for Denise's City Cottage and have been working behind the scenes on my contest entry following one of my two ideas. But, the other idea will now see the light of day thanks to HBS! :D They've kindly offered to send me a kit so I can blog publicly about my build. Now, this public build using the free kit won't be entered into the contest to keep it fair to those who have purchased the kit to enter. But, my secret build will still be entered since it has already been started from the kit I purchased at the beginning of the year.

So, what's the idea? A barn find! I've named this build Milo Valley Farm after my current hamster friend.

I found a great deal on a 1:16 scale Karmann Ghia (main body piece shown here), but the car is just a bit too small for the building. It leaves too much space to fill. I don't want the barn to look like a flea market...the car should take center stage for the interior. It's not so bad outside, though again that would mean filling the barn with junk when that's not really the point.

So, the Karmann Ghia will be saved for an outdoor car and I'm now awaiting a 1:12 scale car kit on order...more on that later.

I see your point about the space around the car. What if you made it a barn instead with empty horse stalls? That way it's allowed to be empty, uncluttered space.

:yes:  I had thought about that, too.  I am getting a larger car, so that will help.  I also plan to cut down the kit just a little.
