BP Garage (Finished)

Here is my BP gas station, there are still a few small things left to finish it off.
By pressing one of the old tyres around the side it sets off the timer for the lights.
this will also be my new back drop for all my car pics. hope you like!!








I only just noticed that the gutters have not been rusted, OOPS! fix it later.











I carved the driveway out of car bog, magic stuff.

You can't post pictures of real buildings man!!! seriously that is one of the best diorama's I have ever seen!!!! AWESOME WORK!!!

Sorry Shoey - I don't like it...

I LOVE IT.

That's brilliant mate. It's the details that make it work. Like the 44 gallon drum rubbish bin, the smashed sign, the tap on the wall, the roof insulation, it all adds up to absolute brilliance.

Dunno about that pussy pink firebird though...?

WOW that is one top build,a jaw droping one.

FANBLOODYTASTIC!!!!

UNBLOODYBELEIVABLE!!

I hope you realised you now have to give us all instructions on how to build our own.

Sniff sniff............. It even smells like an old servo.
That diorama needs no words..... but I'll use some anyway


Great job!

Chris

thats crazy shoey, well done mate!!! awesome work

I see some Vandal has broken the BP sign already.



Oh and bloody fantastic.

Like I said - you ought to be in movies! Oh and I wouldn't bother about the gutters - so the owner replaced his old rotted out gutters with nice new ones? Great work and realism.

Nice stuff Shoey.. Im with Tezza on the gutters..

What they said...............

Ok, when you guys come up to our model comp next February, I will show yas then! and while yas are here, drop in to the Champions Brock Experience for a looksee.

Thanks for your comments, If yas are done blowin wind up my you know what......It has swollen my head beyond recognition.... lol
since these pics were taken, I have allready rusted the gutters. sorry

If anyone wants some really good advice and tips on making model buildings look even more realistic, there's a program on pay tv how to channel called "workin' on the railroad". Although it's all about model trains, they go into extreme detail in showing how to make very realistic buildings.

Love it.

You should put up period correct fuel prices each timne you use it to photograph a car.
But then again that might be far too depressing.

I know this is an old post/thread, but wow! what an awesome job! That's an amazing build mate!

that's one very cool old service station,

Awesome work, some people definitely have a talent for this. Well done.

Sorry- can't think of words to describe it... It's just too AWESOME!!!

Beautiful work Shoey!!

Chris.

Thanks for the comments guys.
