Customer builds

Some of my favorite photos you guys sent me

Real setups from real customers. Houses on desks, cars in the garage, roofs off. Getting these back is my favorite part of doing this.

Getting photos back from you guys is my favorite part of doing this. Me and Cody print everything here in Lake Elsinore, box it up and ship it out, and most of the time that's the last we see of it. So when a picture shows up with the house on somebody's desk and their cars parked out front, it makes my whole day.

I've been saving them for a while, so here are some of my favorites. Every photo in this post is from a customer, not us.

The One-Story Suburban

This one shows up in a lot of your photos. It's just a normal house, which is kind of the point. Park a car on the driveway and it looks like a real street.

The middle one is my favorite. Somebody took the roof off to show the rooms. Every house I design comes apart like that, so you can actually get in there, drop furniture in and shoot from inside.

Blue pickup in the garage, orange truck out front, perfect. And the last one is set up on a grass mat with a road running past and another house next door. That's basically a neighborhood already.

The Modern Mansion

This mansion got a terracotta roof and a whole street built around it. Grass, trees, people up on the balcony, a red hypercar out front. This is exactly what I picture when I'm designing these.

A garage full of 911s

This one is packed. A 911 on every lift and two more cars parked in the back. Roof on, it's just a building on the shelf. Roof off, it's the whole collection.

And the one up top

The blue RWB in front of the lit-up building is from a customer who went all out. Lights under the overhang, a figure, trees, leaves all over the ground. I could stare at that photo all day.
