ITS A PETROL BOWSER!!!!!!!! Give that man the ashes! Yep. Petrol bowser. Petrol pump, gas pump, call it what you will. I was testing out the idea last night to see if it was viable to make them. It wasn't too difficult a task. Some lengths of Styrene strip and some offcuts of nichrome wire for the hoses. I'll fine tune the idea before I start work on the petrol station this weekend Ian _________________ I CAN see how cool this stuff is!!! http://more-t-please.blogspot.com/ Back to top David K Smith Chief Cook and Bottle Washer Joined: 03 Sep 2008 Posts: 435 Location: New Jersey, USA Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:01 pm    Post subject: Not going to wait for this?

The drawing of the attached store looks pretty much like what I was planning anyway. I'msure I could fit an interior in mine too...

Its going to get me into trouble. Here are the elements for the Petrol Station. Left to right - a pump (if you can see it) I've made 10 to this point and when I get 4 good finished ones I'll stop. the canopy. I was pacing out the one at my local gas station this morning making sure I had the right sort of size. the convenience store. I have to get rid of that huge glass frontage or I'll have to model the interior...

Herpa "wings" range is it? Yes indeed. Some issues... they're 1:500; they're highly stylized; and they look to be specific to airports, as opposed to being highway tankers... http://www.herpa.de/collect/(S(zhhrjl45apahbb55gfcbnr45))/detail.aspx?ProductID=519472&lang=en-GB&express=1&thumb=1 (You'll need to copy/paste the URL; phpBB cannot parse it properly.) _________________ —David http://www.t-gauge.net/ http://1-450.blogspot.com/ Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Talking T Gauge Forum Index -> Modeling in T All times are GMT Goto page 1, 2, 3  Next Page 1 of 3   Jump to: Select a forum General Forum----------------Welcome!Trading Post Modeling Forum----------------Tips, Tricks and AssistanceT Gauge ProductsModeling in TLayout ShowcaseModular Frame of MindNarrow Gauge  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
