Famous Octane Auto-Torium - The Beginning

Well it has been awhile. Busy with life, but still haven't forgot about my favorite hobby. Here is the start of a long term project I have been planning to do for years. Always wanted a Automotive Museum, so why not in 1/64 scale. I also figured the best cars to display are TV/Movie related Vehicles. Those that everyone grew up with and recognise. Here are the early stages of my plans. Trying to figure out the best layout for this huge building. Have all the materials, just need the time. My goal is to have as much realistic detail as possible, lights, turn tables etc. But for now, this is what you get. Will post more when I get further into this huge project. Thanks for looking.

Why is there so many cars stacked atop of another car?

And I really don't know what movie the green Camaro came from.

Overall, however, this is nice. Looks pretty organized too.

LOL, well the cars stacked is where I will be having those car mounted up high like they were flying or jumping. This will help save room and my the layout more unique. As for the Camaro and a few other in the layout, They are future customs of movie cars. The Camaro itself will be the F-Bomb from the last FNF. This is the rough layout and it might look a little different in the end. You can't see it, but when you walk in from the front lobby, there will be a wall on both sides making 3 room of cars and then the garage.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the compliments.

Oh man! That will look awesome! What a great idea. I can't connect all the cars to tv/movies but I am sure you can. That would be a very cool place to visit huh??
