clovis Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Unbelievable work!!!!!! I actually like the shed. It looks like a real shed at a real Clark station.
davysmodels Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Tom, Amazing project. Great work. Brings back many memories as I worked at a Clark, Texaco, Mobile, Bulko, and Phillips gas stations in Chicago many many many years ago. Gas on your hands in the winter-time sure did burn.
mikemodeler Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Tom, you are the most dangerous diorama builder east of the Mississippi ! Coming from Ed, that has to be an endorsement if I ever heard one! Again Tom, outstanding work and so life like.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Wow, my older brother worked on one of these in the late 70s, early 80s. Then, one of them converted into a Cola shop, not a soda fountain but rather a store that sold cases of pop, etc. In my hometown, there is still at least one of these standing.
Sixties Sam Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 That phone booth is amazing! GREAT work on it! Samn
Jeremy Jon Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 WOW! I'm speechless, the detail, lighting, oil cans, colors, just WOW!
wrecker388 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 I don't know of a word to describe how perfect this is! GREAT job Tom!
Repstock Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 WOW! I'm glad I decided to post this build. I had no idea it would interest so many. It's been great hearing from everyone, and I've enjoyed "meeting" people who have helped with research. This is quite the positive group! I have two cars I want to get painted while it's still warm, and another master to produce, so I will just be picking at this for awhile. If I do something worthy of your notice, I'll be sure and post. Thanks for the support and encouragement, everyone!
Chuck Doan Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I am glad to catch up with this again. Just a terrific job on this. i'm glad it's shown in it's prime, there was a time when it mattered to keep things looking clean. I love the utilities (elec. and gas meter) Beautiful job Tom, I look forward to seeing your Texaco project as it evolves (or whatever else you do!)
gasser59 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Hey Tom...any more progress on this amazing creation of yours? Its museum worthy and I hope you're continuing to work on it.
vincen47 Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I'm so glad this thread resurfaced. This guy is a true master of scale modeling. His builds and dioramas are amazing works of art. Museum quality and just plain fun.
High octane Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 In my long tradition of doing everything at least twice, I re-did the Clark logo on the station because it wasn't as bright as the SUPER 100. When I made the original logo, there were no plans to light the model. Here are pics with the new, improved logo... Looks like you "nailed it" Tom, awesome job on that Clark station.
darthsideous Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Basic sign is together. This should be a joy to mask and paint! I had the station sitting on the floor of my micro sized model room. When I swivelled in my chair, the station was caught between the chair and the wall, and the gatorboard was crushed. Repairs are underway. All damage was on areas covered by brick, so I should be able to make the repairs undetectable. It's just aggravating to fix something that was fine to begin with. I'll have to carry stuff I'm not working on into the next room, to prevent this sort of thing from happening again. This picture was taken before the damage. I am glad it occured early in the build when it will be easier to fix. phenomenal!
disabled modeler Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 One word...Stunning build...Id give my eye teeth for 1/2 your skills.
Repstock Posted May 4, 2017 Author Posted May 4, 2017 Thank you everyone for your kind words. The station is just sitting in the showcase. I've got two masters to build for resin casters, and I'm working on Rocky's GMC truck for my Rockford Files diorama. I hope to get some of these older projects finished someday!
darthsideous Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Got a few more things made. Here's a look at the shelving unit Here's how it all looks in place. More to come. the boxes are great, but the shirts on racks, how did you do that? Amazing!?????
