Winter Village: Filling Station

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the Winter Village Filling Station, where you can fill your gas tank and fill your belly at the same time!

This creation features the main building, a pair of vintage-style gas pumps, and a retro gas truck.

Here's the main building, with tire rack and vintage road sign. It's been decorated quite nicely for the winter holiday.

Inside, you can stock up on supplies and chat with the friendly staff.

The pumps are shielded by a canopy.

And here's the truck, which I had the most fun designing to give it a mid-century diesel look.

I like it.

I'm not sure what the vehicle represents but it could be made slightly more vintage. 

A good little WV set for £35 is just what we need to get back to the feel of the original line.

The recent years sets have been too large or overpriced.

I was going for an art deco/streamliner style from the 1930s or 1940s. This is one of the images I used for inspiration:
