Posted July 22, 201113 yr Thanks to everyone responding to the poll, I could see what people liked in a service station. Now this....oh, sorry about the picture quality it was taken on my mobile phone. More pictures comming later (especially after I get the second bowser hose tomorrow ), comments and suggestions welcome.....keep watching !
July 22, 201113 yr Nice one, captures the style of a few of those older sets whilst looking a bit more modern. I wonder however if the roof canopy needs to be so high. :classic: Edited July 22, 201113 yr by AussieJimbo
July 22, 201113 yr Author Nice one, captures the style of a few of those older sets whilst looking a bit more modern. I wonder however if the roof canopy needs to be so high. :classic: Thanks 'AJ' and the reason for the high roof, pump 1 is diesel......prime movers etc.,. Brick On !
July 22, 201113 yr Nice job there. You need a big sign board like these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=BA04pb01 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=BA04pb02
July 22, 201113 yr Nice piece of eh, gas station? Lookin forvard to tomorrow Looks like I really should stop drinking that cofee have not done any progress with my bricks or brains...
July 22, 201113 yr Author Thanks 'jonwil', 'ice brick', 'MSC94' and again 'AJ' for your kind comments etc.,. Ah, 'jonwil' could you tell where I got the Shell stickering from.....copy & paste from BL ! Hopefully later on I can give you all a better look at this creation of mine, only a custom figure and fuel hose short at the moment.....keep on commenting.....keep on watching ! Quick edit, 'AJ' spoke about the roof height.....compare this one to door ways and bowsers. Edited July 22, 201113 yr by lightningtiger
July 22, 201113 yr I like it! It looks like a Classic Town set-- simple but effective. Nice board choice, as well. Was that originally found in a gas station set?
July 22, 201113 yr Nice one LT! I like the raised canopy, it makes sense, since there are a lot of trucks or even huge tour buses that need to top up after a long trip in the outback. Do you have the actual pic?
July 22, 201113 yr Author Thanks 'Studs Not On Top' and 'Out of Sight' for your kind words, actually this is a fusion design of real life and classic Legotown sets. The stickering comes from the 1999 Shell promo gas pumps and Select shop. Hopefully, I can get good shots of the interior of the shop tomorrow - keep on watching !
July 22, 201113 yr Hi Lightningtiger, I simply love the SHELL logo! ...and this gas station is awesome, with your true details! Edited July 22, 201113 yr by LEGO Train 12 Volts
July 22, 201113 yr Another fine job, LT!!! You have truly came into your own, doing the modern-classic Lego designs. Will be on the lookout for the interior updates.
July 22, 201113 yr Author Thanks 'drevim' and 'LEGO Train 12 Volts' for your kind comments, today yes, more photos (sad to say they might be the camera in my phone ones though....sorry ). I have to come up with a custom figure as well today, but it's at least 95% finished. Keep on watching for the update.
July 22, 201113 yr Great start 'lt'. I prefer Shell over any other gas station, myself. Great idea for the gas pump poles. Looking forward to the next update
July 22, 201113 yr Author Thanks 'Leg Godt Gud' for your kind words there, updated photos in three hours or less ! Keep on watching......oh, yeah.....any suggestions ? (Footnote - pub is still on going, plus car dealer and shopping centre are facing redesigning and waiting on a stacks of money for stacks of special parts..tiles and tiles and more tiles )
July 23, 201113 yr Author Quick update, still no figure or second hose yet..... More to come so keep on watching !
July 23, 201113 yr Author Thanks 'Ben Blackman', now only a hose to go..... I'm off now to buy that hose - updating again shortly. Keep those comments comming ! Nice new pictures! I like the noticeboard behind the shop counter! Thanks 'LEGO Trains 12 Volts', but that's no notice board...it's pegboard with merchandise on it ! Keep watching !
July 23, 201113 yr Looks Great my friend. But one question, Where's the classic Shell Logo? Brick on ~LCM Edited July 23, 201113 yr by LegoCityMann
July 23, 201113 yr Author Thanks 'dr_spock' and 'LCM' for your comments, my own problem today is TC didn't have my hose but tomorrow they will. A Shell sign eh ? Maybe. Keep on watching.....keep on commenting !
July 23, 201113 yr Author There's a part two to this creation, the roadhouse diner....yes, this will become an extension to a greater creation......so any ideas of what you like in a diner suggest away ! I should be picking up that hose today and if I can get hold of the Cybershot I can shoot better pictures. Keep watching and commenting !
July 23, 201113 yr Author Finally I found a photo to prove the height is right for the driveway roof. On the hunt for roadhouse diner frontage designs right now ! Keep on watching !
