Here's a good way to dress up your old garage:

I'd guess you'd have to line the door with ply or some flat sheeting before applying the posters to an uneven surface like that. Would be a lot easier on a wall or normal door. It would be nice to have one,though.

Cheers, Willie.

That is very tempting, I'm building a new garage out of sight of the street and a photo like that may be an ideal finishing touch. Cool link, more to be found thereabouts too; http://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/2010/11/abandoned-aircraft-airfields-airbases-airport-terminals/

 

I keep looking at those old hulks and picturing a second life for some of the bits, a la motoart.

A bit more recycling -

It would be great to turn the clock back, I always used to like the local scrap yard back in the 70's that wrecked a lot of aircraft. Still have an old go-kart we fitted out with a helicopter seat & other a/c parts. They had an almost complete propliner in the yard as well as cockpits, front ends & other sections. All long gone now. I suppose we took it for granted back then, but it's all hard to get now.
