Superfunk Posted September 7, 2014 Hi everyone I am happy to present my first "big" MOC: A modular Shell gas station. When I got hold of a MISB set 1256 with its huge sticker sheet, I got started. The gas station is 32 x 48 studs big and a corner modular. There is a double gas pump, a vacuum cleaner, a tire inflator, a public phone and a city map. The shop sells everything from motor oil and fire extinguishers to newspapers and flowers. It has also a large choice of beverages and food - you can even get a burger (well, microwaved only, but still)! The neighboring 16 x 32 recycling station module adds the battery for the power functions lights in the roof and the shop. I also built a Scania tanker truck and a small Mini Cooper to go with the station. Comments & suggestions welcome, thanks for looking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Off the wall Posted September 7, 2014 One of the best MOCs that I've seen. The detail is incredible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted September 7, 2014 OMG ! Pity there wasn't a servo building contest again.......a totally awesome build and I thought I make pretty close to the real thing servo's ! AWESOME designing 'Superfunk'......the fuel pumps remind me of my Coles Express ones .......Brick On 'Superfunk' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zed_43 Posted September 7, 2014 Really nice service station! Every detail is well finished. But what I find disturbing is that the cars have to go backward after filling their cars. Making the pumps at 45° could have been great with this corner style station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted September 7, 2014 You know you're right 'Zed_43'.......I have my servo pumps parallel to the shop front, so yeah 45 degree position would be the only way to go or make shorter pump housing ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EvilBlackSheep Posted September 7, 2014 Oh wow! It's really a great and detailed gas station and it looks even better integrated to your modulars! Great job :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chocolatecake Posted September 7, 2014 Oh wow, just wow! It truely looks like at gas station and the amount of details impresses me. So keep on building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antp Posted September 7, 2014 Wow really nice! I wish this was an official set, so I could buy it directly :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Awesome Moc. Reminds me of my morning ritual getting my Coffee. The only detail that is off is that you need heap of chocolate bars at the register instead of fruit unless they are healthy lot in your city.

eurotrash Posted September 7, 2014 There's some lovely details in this build. And I really like the attached recycling center. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alois Posted September 7, 2014 It really fits in very well in a modular street. Although it is a completely different kind of structure, the level of detail is the same. Very well done. And always nice to see a MOC that is related to the Netherlands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EvMan Posted September 8, 2014 Hola! Excellent modular petrol station. You've packed a lot in the footprint, and it looks great next to the Palace Cinema. Love the Mini.

Firebrickbuilder Posted September 8, 2014 The best petrol station I have ever seen, the detail and setup of the set is brilliant. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Guy Bri Posted September 8, 2014 Great build Superfunk! I love seeing Shell stations, especially ones with this level of detail. I love the integration of the lighting, as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ER0L Posted September 8, 2014 Great Shell station! Would be glad to have it in the Flickr LEGO Gas Stations Group. I especially like the lighting features - you don't see that very often. Nice idea to use the recycling station for the battery. I agree with the others regarding the access for the cars, though, but I'd rather enlarge the whole thing so that there's more room between the building and the pumps.

Superfunk Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks, everyone, happy that you all like it! OMG ! Pity there wasn't a servo building contest again.......a totally awesome build and I thought I make pretty close to the real thing servo's ! AWESOME designing 'Superfunk'......the fuel pumps remind me of my Coles Express ones .......Brick On 'Superfunk' ! Thanks, lightningtiger! I checked, but the last building contest was limited to 32 x 32... Hadn't seen your Coles station before, my inspiration mainly came from Google (such as here or here)...
