Petrol Station


        
Hi everyone,

Hope you are all feeling gooood.
Inspired by Dapol’s CO32 Petrol Station and some BIC razorblades, I came up with……

From this: 

And after using some of what I had in hand:






 I came up with this (using also two diecast trucks Mr. Angry Lurker, who very politely offered me, some while ago):





















I hope you like it!

    Just amazing Thanos. One of my favorite shots is the view of the drive behind the building. The mixture of grass and gravel there looks absolutely real.

    I have a question. How do you get the logo's onto the buildings and have them look aged?

      Thank you sweet Anne!
      I got them printed (http://www.rapid-fire-uk.com/wp-content/plugins/downloads-manager/upload/normandy_signs1.pdf).
      I glued them with PVA glue and then I drybrushed some of the sand colour, on its centre and edges - to make it blend with the building.

    Very nice piece of work. The razor petrol pumps are inspired! Do you just wander around the house looking at random objects and seeing them as scenery?
