Has anyone seen one of these before?


Recommended Posts

A few years back I purchased a model car collection from a man that stopped building models in 1962. This workbench was among the models. Does anybody know anything about it, it's 1/25 scale, moulded in the blue color you see. I was going to start doing some modifications to it, but decided to hold off until I could find out more about it.

The circular things are probably hubcaps.  I don't think that piece is from a kit, it's more likely from one of those lithographed sheet metal toy gas stations from the Fifties or early Sixties.

That's exactly what I was thinking too.

Why cast? Build a styrene box to the same dimensions, and raid your spare parts boxes for a couple of hubcaps, a six volt battery or whatever you want on it. You said you were going to modify it, correct? No need to make it any more difficult than necessary.

It is a pretty cool piece.
