Fits right in with the rest. Simple, effective, colorful.

Thanks 'Rick' for your kind comment :sweet: - that's the idea I was pointing towards - simple while being colourful - take the display it's paintboxed from an image from petrol pump maker just to give it some more realism.
Clean straight lines and this all fit in to place !
Keep on bricking 'Rick' and everyone else ! :sweet:

I love this forum...lol

Very cool - I stopped at one of these in real life only just two days ago and I can tell you this is pretty true to form!

I love lego - Glad I found this epic forum!!! - it all started for me when I inadvertantly inherited loads - since then sites like toyBrickShop have had me hooked - till I found this awesome place, now I just spend hours looking at lego MOC's in absolute wonder!

Thank you 'Harrison Bored' for your kind comment :sweet: - I use flickr and google images plus web searches and of course my camera (well it's the wife's camera I just use it so to speak) !
More things will be added externally to this as well as finishing off the roof trim.
Keep on bricking ! :sweet:

Looks great, now you need a roadhouse/food section with tables and food. Don't forget steak and coffee (for some reason if you are a truck driver, you can get really cheap steak and coffee at roadhouses all along the Eyre Highway)
And some parking for trucks.

If it was stand-alone away from a town I would suggest motel accommodation and caravan parking spots but since its in a town, any accommodation would likely be elsewhere in the town.

You do need some caravan parking spots though somewhere :)

Having done the entire length of the road between Perth and Broken Hill (including the entire Eyre Highway across the Nullabor Plain) I have seen quite a few roadhouses (many of which are BP actually) :)

Thanks for the reply 'jonwil', food for thought - so to speak eh ? :grin:
This is actually in the town centre itself and the tyre dealer might be positioned next to it.
I will be designing a proper road house with more pumps and an take away or thing food wise in it - along like a town by-pass like a real country town.
Keep on bricking ! :sweet:

Hey Lightningtiger, a mini BP! :tongue: I really like it. The interior is nice. DO you have BP's in Australia because altought I made one, we don't have them around eastern Canada! Great little MOC. :thumbup:

The top of the petrol station on the right side is not level, right? Or is the effect of the photo?
Greetings

Thanks 'sens1992' and 'The Player No.1' for your comments - cool Q&A time ! :grin:
Right now to start, 1. Heaps and heaps of BP's down under - either plain ones, Wild Bean Cafes or On The Run super outlets with supermarket, Subway, coffee, you can just about name it ! :grin:
2. If you are talking about the empty gap along the shop - that is space for another building to be attached to this particular base plate. :sweet:
Going to design some warning/saftey signage plus a few more of driveway accessories today, post images a.s.a.p. ! :wink:
Thanks again folks and keep on bricking ! :sweet:

Oh, sorry......I didn't push down hard enough one one side to lock it on the studs right (that's my guess anyway) !
