Wodanis Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Hi everyone, Since there is Octan Gas station enthusiasm in the air, I thought I would share my lxf file for the Lego world Octan Gas Station. I, like Lightning Tiger who recently has been making one from scratch, reversed engineered the design from photos. See the link below for the LDD file. Octan Gas Station.lxf http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92477 : Lightning Tiger's project http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=91836&hl=octan : My modular Octan Gas Station I built a modular one and noticed I missed a few things from the early incarnations of my design. In the end the result was much better than I hoped. I took a few element styles from the original Lego world design and changed quite a bit. For instance, I didn't use the bricks on top of the overhead roof sign-age. Nor (at the time) did I have a similar gas pump. If you look closely at the photos from Lego World you will see that they didn't use a fireman's hose but rather a yellow nozzle which can be attachable to a string with two studs on the end like on my gas pump from my modular version. Anyhow, I hope you like what I've done and now everyone can build their own. Happy building! Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Hey, that's about the same as my LDD file ! Thanks for extra promotion of my design too 'Wodanis'.......Brick On ! Quote
Technic-Kobaltz Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Super work guys, think I will have to give this project a go seen as how we have not had an official set for so long. BrickLink here I come. Going to give the Octan storage towers a bash as well to go with it. Think I will do 3 of varying heights. Edited February 18, 2014 by Technic-Kobaltz Quote
