lightningtiger Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) B-M-08A Now some of you may have been wondering would the tiger enter into at least one category eh ? Well, I decided only two days ago and here it is....my cat.1 entry.... ESSO Garage Inspired by the early Lego town plan Esso service stations I choose to make a garage which could sit on the corner of a city block. Sadly ran out of room for the gas pumps (petrol bowsers), hence I just called it a garage instead of service station. The structure would be at least a two storey building or at least a single with one hell of a high roof , you can see the curved shop window and glass door way. Vehicle access is though the clear windowed/red trimmed tilt door (of course it doesn't tilt....it's a mini build right ). Good luck to my fellow members in this category as well.....Brick On everyone ! Edited July 30, 2012 by Phred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alasdair Ryan Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Nice garage. Did the roof blow away in that storm in ''Tigertown'' again? Or did the owners/builder run out of money? Edited July 29, 2012 by Alasdair Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted July 29, 2012 Neat little building, the jut outs over the door/window are my favorite parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted July 29, 2012 Thanks for the positive vibes everyone, and no storm on the horizon....I actually have a little bit of spare cash....where do you think the 20 bucks came from to build this ? I though an Art Deco garage inspired by early town plan sets would be cool and it actually pops - might have to knock up a whole street worth eh ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alasdair Ryan Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Might have to knock up a whole street worth eh ? If you do, can you remember to build a roof for your buildings? Edited July 29, 2012 by Alasdair Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vindicare Posted July 29, 2012 Great looking MOC. It looks like the most recent 10184's station. I like the curved window in the front. But, wheres the mini pumps?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks 'Legocrazy81' and I ran out of room for them....I'll try and see if I can make a pair that would suit....then I'll edit my original image. Keep watching !

Redhead1982 Posted August 2, 2012 That's a lovely little garage. Well done for this small scale and good luck in the contest. The use of transclear 'macaroni' brick is great, I didn't even now it exists in transclear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted August 2, 2012 Thanks 'Redhead1982' for your kind words, the clear 'macaroni' piece...yeah, it's handy having a Lego spare parts store only 7km from home. (They have a lot of older parts, sometimes even rare ones too ! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
