Vintage Gas Station

Comment: outstanding!!!!!!

Great building. Thanks for sharing, Malcolm

VERY nice! Thanks for posting.

Very nice, Leon!!

However, your avatar may cause a problem.

I love it!  Great work.  Now I think I know where Gomer Pyle's papa hung his shingle.  Just beautiful.

Leon,

Exceptional.  Welcome to the list. Please consider sharing the progress of your next project in real-time.  We all love to learn from each other.

Vulc,

You should really consider stopping drawing attention to nonconformist avatars. It just hastens the wrath of the gestapo. (Speaking from experience. )

Pete, that was just a little friendly advice, is all. The gestapo won't know about it unless somebody rats on him. That won't be me. But when it's front page on the "Recent Posts", kind of sticks out like a sore thumb.

Personally, I could care less.

Very nice, Leon. Thanks for posting. And welcome to the forum.

Jim

...but, Pete, I like the hairdo they gave you on yours! ...I'm just jealous I guess.

Jim

Here you go, Jim.

Thanks, Vulc! ...but I feel sorry for that little furry thing up there that has to follow me around now.

Jim

That is one neat station.  I need two just like it, you taking orders?  Russ

Love your work Great Job!!!!!

Very nice work, it looks great.  My only complaint is that it is not on my layout...

Nice work on the model and photography, Leon!

Thanks to all for your comments and critique!

Russ: Yes, I'm definitely going to build more gas stations. I've got two more already in the works.

Pete: Below are a couple of gas station progress shots. The first shows the station prior to the final paint, weathering, and signage, as well as the raw Sculptamold on wood base. The second shows the initial scenery without the addition of details and the roofing material not yet secured to the model:

I go to admit.... it looks better on Pete.

I don't get no respect!

....plus, I bet next I'll get accused of getting this thread off topic!  

Jim

No disrespect to you, Jim. I've got no room to talk.

If anybody got the thread of topic, it was I.

Sorry, Leon.

My apologies too, Leon. Your beautiful work should be the center of attention.

Vulcan and I sometimes get into these exchanges - all in fun - and totally in jest on both sides. I miss mwb. He would often get into the fun too.

Jim

No problem guys...glad to see there is a sense of humor among the group.

Oh, very well...  Back on topic:

Now that's the way to start a morning.

Mike CT

Gee, Pete.

Do you realize that if my power goes out with the storm right now, that will be the last image to stick in my head for the next few days?!!!  The stuff of nightmares.

I love it! 

The devil is telling me to post it as my avatar right now!

...and, Leon, we do have fun around here in addition to showing great modeling such as yours. It's a good place on the forum to hang out.

Jim

Wowzer, that's the nicest gas station model I've ever seen.

Really nice work! How did you weather it?
