Norton74 Posted February 20, 2018 Fill 'Er Up! A while back I presented the Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix pictured being unearthed in an elderly farmer’s barn. This time the little Bugatti is ready to be "fueled up" in a period gas station. Back in the twenties gasoline was sold in quite simple shacks, at times they were drugstores, at times they were pharmacies. What it's sure the early gas stations were very different from modernist or art déco ones. Recently Blocks magazine featured my Bugatti in haystack with step by step building instructions (below) and few days ago I uploaded the pics on my flickr photostream. So if you can't buy a classic racecar you can build it from LEGO! Thanks for stopping by! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg3 Posted September 22, 2018 That is just perfect!! The building itself is spot on with all the details and textures you've added (love the telegraph poles too!) and of course the car looks beautiful (wish LEGO would do these sort of vehicles in the Speed Champions range as they have much more character than the modern supercars!!) Anyway, thanks to you, now I can build my own!! Excellent work!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roadmonkeytj Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) At risk of abuse about the head and ears for reviving older posts. I just wanted to say I had seen photos of this before and never knew the author. Last night I followed your instructions quite easily... Then added a few detail elements to an already great model. I wanted to thank you as well because I also re-created some of your station scenery which was a pleasant challenge. But mainly you gave me inspiration to design a "stove pipe" visible gas pump to go along with the Type 35. Excellent work and thank you for sharing this!
