danthaman11 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 B-OM-17E I wanted to share my latest creation. I have been working on this for the last couple of months. This is my first attempt at a modular type building. It is a gas station with a snack shop. Lego has not released a gas station in a long time and I don't think they will ever do an exclusive high end version. So this is my version of a gas station that would fit with the modular cafe corner style buildings. The hardest part was the pumps, once I got that the way I liked it, everything else came together pretty quickly. The snack shop has a full interior and this is my first attempt at making custom stickers. I tried to make it look good with the various width of cars from the 7 wide type cars that I prefer, to the classic 4 stud wide cars and I took some pics with various cars sizes posted at the end. Thanks for looking. Quote
Vindicare Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Wow, I like it! Not a lot to look at, but the way you built it makes up for that big time. I love how you slanted the pumps like that. Great signage, too. You caught every detail of a gas station here. Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Fantastic, wonderful and finally AWESOME 'danthaman11'.....excellent custom sticker designing too. Brick On ! Quote

MadManMingo Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Never thought that I would call a gasstations beautiful! But you proved me wrong!!! Certainly an example to follow... Quote
EvMan Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Hola! That's ace! Lego should get you to work your magic on the new car park before it is released... Ev Quote
MirageKhikko Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 ...upgraded version of the OCTAN Gas station, great built... quite inspiring.. ^__^ Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Fantastic job 'dtm11'. The stickers came out great and the horizontal pumps are a really nice. It's a great feature to have, I decided to make the entrance to my car dealer offset as well. I love the exterior brick work and using the 'Octan' colors. Much better looking than Exxon or 7/11. Keep up the great builds Quote
Brickmamba Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 That's a great little gas station, great job! Quote
Stefano Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Awesome Moc, danthaman11 petroleum-based products selling petroleum-based products :o) LOL Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Great work, I love the diagonal way you've build the pumps! Quote
Lorentzen Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Wow I really love this MOC - what an excellent creation. It's clean and nice and just awesome all around Quote
Locutis Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Very well done. I like it a lot. Locutis Quote
Ricecracker Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Beautiful! It's often the most mundane things that are the hardest to build well, and you've done a great job. Quote
Scorpio Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Impressive build. A gas station was one my my first MOCs and I always like seeing more gas stations to see what details people like to add. Quote
SalvoBrick Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Excellent modular gas station that doesn't require a lot of space! Quote
BrickBox Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Very neat gas station, those fuel pumps are looking really good! And although it might be a bit strange for a gas station to have such an amount of brickwork, it certainly makes it look very interesting and gives it a more welcoming, less sterile look. Quote
L@go Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Great job, this is among the very best Lego gas stations I've seen. I can only agree with what others have said: The slanted pumps and the stickering is very well done. I also like the little sign in the flower bed :) This would look great in any layout. Inspiring!

tedbeard Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 This is really nice. The kind of thing I hope to see on CuuSoo (hint, hint). Quote
CptMugwash Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 That's amazing, very clean and shiney looking, the shop is brilliant and the pumps are great, at first I thought the angle was a bit funny but it's grown on me and those stickers have come out spot on. Great stuff Quote
Redhead1982 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 It's excellent! I like the dark red corners of the gass station, and how the pumps are put diagonally to the station building. Quote
SwissBrick Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Very Nice Build! You did a great job with the custom stickers as well, it looks really "real". PS: I hope the price is for gallons and not liters... Quote
