Modelcitizen Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) This is an unfinished dio of a small-town store/gas station as I remember from my childhood. It's in 1/25 scale. The building is scratch built from basswood, the car is a Re vell '48 Ford, and the figures are from American Diorama. I still need to add gas pumps and a few other details Edited May 2, 2022 by Modelcitizen Better photo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Really nice, sure would like to see more. That green on the Ford looks like one from the Earl Scheib somewhat limited palette for overall repaints. "Any car, any color, $29.95".  Edited August 16, 2022 by Ace-Garageguy 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I think I stopped there for some Twinkies on a road trip years ago !  Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Nice work! I guess that mechanic needs to fix a few more cars to save up for gas pumps!  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs, dirt, road grime. It was all the same to them at that shop. Lol. But it did the job at the time. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 That is cool. Like the green. The other side of town where we live still has an old general store. Wooden plank floors and all. It was an O.O.F. building. Used to have one liers bench new owners put out 2, one on the left and one on the right. Used to get up on sundays to go get a paper and hang out to hear the old guys stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
