In quite a few scenarios of the zombie games the grandchildren like playing the survivors have vehicles so "we" decided that grandad had to build a petrol station to fill up the cars and trucks. So a weekend was spent designing, measuring building and painting.
The building is made from foamcore and the thick card that is used for picture framing.
A Petrol Station

Excellent ! I foresee some very large explosions coming your way
Re: A Petrol Station
Great build....
Greatness is not in where we stand,
but in what direction we are moving,
we must sail sometimes in the wind,
and sometimes against it,
but sail we must, and not drift nor lie at anchor.

Re: A Petrol Station
The grandsons helped make and paint this one as it is really just a box. The only part that took some experimenting was the roof and the boys learned about templates and "trial an error". They also suggested the use of the TePe interdental toothbrush plastic handles as petrol pumps.Richard B. wrote: ↑Sat Apr 21, 2018 7:54 pm That is terrific, I have a plan to build a french country gas station at some point

Re: A Petrol Station
I have all the bits - building, sheds, scrap pile, walls and even pumps, just need the urge to actually gather them all together and build/paintdadlamassu wrote: ↑Sun Apr 22, 2018 6:23 am
