Good job, guys. Here's a couple more. It's a hard hat area (yellow sign) and no one has on a hard hat. Tthe red acetylene cylinders should be chained up.
Thanks, Tony. I found the original floor plan in a book about FLW, and used it and the pics. The actual station is 2 bays, but I only had room for one on my board.
Tried to post more pics and just can't get it done. But, here goes again. the Lindholm Station is the only gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It still exists in Cloquet, Minn., and was used as a station until a few years ago. It actually was a rebuild of the existing station. Wright orginally wanted the gas hoses to come down out of the roof, and the cars be filled up "like a calf sucking it's mother" (His words). You will note that the roof is copper. Wright used that extensively. He liked the way it turned green when it oxidizes.
I tried to add more pics, but couldn't do it. For more pics just go to my fb page (Melvin Jones) and check out the pics in the Lindholm Station album. Sorry for the trouble.
This one's posted in dioramas, as well. Progress has been slow on the 1/8 dio. Scratchbuilt items include the washer (need to attach lid), workbench, seat in car, fuse box, etc. Need to build dryer, shelves and much more.
Well, aside from the xclnt photography, the xclnt bare metal foil application, paint job, engine detail, etc....it's like one of mine. Great job. Show us more of your work.
Like many dioramaniacs, i do a lot of junkers and garages or shops. What i want to do more than any thing else, right now is either a dio of going into the hotel tunnel at Monte Carlo, or the Phillips 66 gas station in Wisconsin, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Both VERY difficult builds.
