John Sethian posted:A highly modified Plasticville Gas Station. Added a tile front, revamped the windows, added Mobil decals and lighting, added Berkshire Valley gas pumps, oil cans, air station, and water can, added bare metal foil trim, added a full garage interior (including photos of my own workbench) added an island with a light post, and did a whole lot of other things which I forgot. Figures are from MTH
The Hudson Hornet is a made from Hudson race car, which I repainted, added bare metal foil trim, added full hub caps, modified the bumpers, etc. The Ford started life as a Taxi, The Cadillac is a Neo model, and the Alfa in the garage started life as well..an Alfa. It was chosen because it fit into the O/S-sized Plasticville service bay.
The light post is bent because some inattentive customer ran into it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. But its lucky he missed the oil cans neatly stacked on their shelves. And like all my buildings, it is fully illuminated:
The big Mobilgas signs on either side of the central "sail" are made by attaching the decal to a cut styrene sheet. Illumination is provided by grain of wheat bulbs embedded in brass tubes
John did you buy the mobil decals or make them yourself? I am trying to duplicate the mobil logo's and am having a hard time.
