Citroën Garage Diana Fleurus sprl. diorama

Hello all, Today I will show you guys a project I did last year. As I said before the reason why I'm all into Citroën is the fact that my Uncle had a Citroën concession. He was a hard-working man who fought his way up the ladder and that's why I admire him so much. 

Anyway, he closed his garage some years ago due to his retirement. Last year I wanted to surprise him for christmas with a perfect replica of his beloved garage in scale 1/43. The only things I had to make this where a photograph from the outside (see the first picture) and the construction plans.

With these plans I had to scale everything down to 1/200 (to make the plan go on a A4 page) with the correct measurements for the 1/43 maquette.

I'll save you the details, but 3 months and several attemps later this was the result.
