Aerial shot of the entire HQ, showcasing the central garden. More to come on that later.
Internal shot, showcasing all of the current cars on display. The cars will most likely be moved slightly to allow them to take up less space.
Fancy shot with max shaders, giving a sneak peak at a future display and a future project!
Introduction:
This thread is dedicated to my new pass time: Building cars and stuff. I typically end up building whatever pops into my mind, and so I tend to work in phases. Typically a build can take me anywhere from 2 hours of work to 10, depending on how complex the build is. Any constructive criticism is welcome, and I hope you enjoy!

Background:
Back in the 1980s, Audi revolutionized the world of rallying with the Un-Quattro. The Un-Quattro came factory standard with Audi's four wheel drive system, named Quattro (meaning "four" in Italian). The Quattro coupe, a sportier and shorter version of the Un-Quattro, was entered into the World Rally Championship in 1981. In the two years following, the FIA relaxed regulations on the World Rally Championship, ushering in an era known as Group B. The Quattro evolved into the S1 E2 version, boasting 470 horsepower (when compared to the original Quattro's 300) and just under 2,600lbs. The Quattro was a crowd favorite with rally fans worldwide, until Group B was suspended in 1986. Group B was deemed too unsafe, after 10+ competitor fatalities, and hundreds of fans injured due to accidents. The lax safety standards, combined with the abundance of death and injury earned Group B rally cars the nicknamed "Killer B's".

Background:
The miata was developed in 1991 by Mazda, utilizing the principle "One rider, one horse, one body". Sticking to this philosophy, the car was developed to be completely in-tune with the driver, allowing them to feel 100% in tune with the road. The Miata is very well known in the world of car culture, often loved for its light weight and stylish looks. As it does not have a ton of speed (only 103hp stock), it is common for owners to turbocharger it.
