He also gave me a hand with a couple of parts, which he printed for me. Top marks to that man
I know i haven't finished detailing and making the paint really nice, but i thought i would have to share.
First of all i should explain that for all my builds i thought it would be nice to have a base or Diorama to go with them. Makes them look a little better than just sitting idle on a plain shelf! Although my house is starting to feel smaller every day!
My Diorama scenes are all built out of left over and scrap parts. I don'treally want to detract from the models that sit on them.
But something about an old Gas Station like you see in pictures with Hot Rods appealed, but also wouldn't look right withough a pump.
I looked online and decided to go 1930s period and set about something old skool.
No petrol pump models exist, so with help of photos on Google i built a simple CAD model at lunchtime whilst at work.
Wayne kindly printed this for me, this ultimately got me hooked!
