Octan Gas Station Lego Madness!

Recommended Posts

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.

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! :laugh:

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.

Hola!

Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labour. It will look great next to the multi-story car park from a couple of years ago.
