I was cruising through my old files and bumped into an assignment I built for a client 10 years ago. Thought you guys would like to see.

Wow, that takes me back. I was driving a new 67 GTO when I met my wife in college. We would stop in a station like this and I would put in $2.00 of ethyl and we would continue our date.

My wife just reminded me it was more often a dollar of gas and often it was her dollar.
Great stuff - particularly like the dramatic interior shot. That is a model, correct?

Doesn't get any better Erik!
Can't decide which I marvel at most, Erik; your modeling skills or your photography, lighting, and design skills--both are superb.
Amazing craftsmanship.
When did Sinclair start using the dinosaur logo?
Must be a brand new station - waaaaay too clean to be one that has been open for more than about 5 min.

LOL
NO JOKE
Erik looks great another fantastic model! i worked at Sinclair station in Chicago and the owner made us keep it almost as clean as your model. thanks for sharing this brings back old memories. all that is missing is my dusk blue 69 Nickey Camaro sitting under the Sinclair sign.I still have the Sinclair signs off the pumps when we turned into an Arco station.
Thank you guys glad it brought some old memories back
Wow. Just wow. The lighting really helps the photo.
When did Sinclair start using the dinosaur logo?
I recall the dinosaur logo at the 1964 NY World's Fair, so perhaps around that time.
Very nice work Erik!
1932 is when Sinclair started using the dino as their logo.
Great Job, Thanks for the Memories.
I saw a lot of that style filing stations in the 50's and early 60's. Classic look and a well done model that brings back great memories. Don't let that giant step on it.

That is sooo good I swear that I can smell oil and hear the bell ring just by looking at the pictures.
Great modeling. I remember when that exact station, except the bays were on the left, and office on right, was being built in our town. The closed gas station sits across the street from my sisters house now, used car lot. Spent many hours there, the owner became a great long time friend. All I can say is WOW!, and thanks for memories of a period long ago.
Forgot to add, outside, by door to office were 2 penny machines, one peanuts, the other gumballs.
Nice work Erik!
I like the atmosphere
