Swifster Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 A question on the base. What was used? How big a platform? I'm looking at doing an early 50's Sinclair station, and doing it as decribed in a book (The Last Open Road). I just want an idea of space requirements.

1955chevy Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 The base is "mdf". Approx. 29" x 47" I started with the MRC 1968 Texaco Station, using most of the parts. I scratch build the walls, used Scale Models by Chris for the accessories. Things I learned along the way. Think of the end result. That is where is it going to be located - big area 29x47 (My wife does not want it in the living or family rooms.) 29 inches wide - doorways are 30 inches sometmes difficult to manage. I would make components then pin to base. Tranaporting is alot easier. Along with storage if not on display (I glued everything to the base) Please send me a pm if you have any questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
