GAS PUMP DECALS COMPLETED!

Anyone?

I haven't seen any for that style of pump.  Couldn't you print some then reduce the size on a copier if you can't print a font size small enough?

Coach Joe,

Thank you for your response. That was the first thing I thought to do. If there are no prefabricated ones I may have to.

Type in old gas pumps from the 70's on the net. Select images. Copy the ones you want. Resize and adjust using M.S. excel. Print out, cut and glue on with 3M spray.

Thanks Sirt, I'll try that.

Those pumps are nicely detailed. Not sure why the interior WAS detailed since that nice detail gets covered.

I may 3D resin print some because I am using the much older scale pumps and I should be using the more modern style.

If I want my signs to have a shine to them I print them on photo paper.

Thanks Alan. It leaves the option to "expose" interior for repairs, etc and for regular business.

if I do 3D print these I will add openings for LEDs to light the Pump and signage above.

Also I would 3d print the curbs.

I might laser cut and engrave the signage so that the LED below it would illuminate the acrylic sign above the pumps.

Sounds nice. Show results when you're done.

The Blender Pumps you showed are from the 1970-80s. There are now various designs of these pumps at differently branded stations.

This it is harder to come up with a style.

Alan,

That first one is right on the money. I couldn't find one with the advertisement frame on top of it. What keywords did you use on your search for it?

The modern Pumps  are ALL "blender pumps" each dispenses at your selection 3 grades of gas . the blender part takes premium and low grade gas and blends both to make mid-grade,

in the  40s to 70s you had multiple pumps each dispensing one of 2 or 3 grades of gas.

Alan,

Where did you find that first photo?

Where did you find that first photo?   just googled gas station pump

Hello Everyone,

This is about all I'm going to do with these right now. They, like the gas station, will sit farther back on the layout but I wanted to do some detailing. Thank you  goes out to all who replied with suggestions but namely Coach Joe and Sirt who helped me save money and complete this over the weekend.
