SalvoBrick Posted March 13, 2013 This is my first "real" modular, and with "real" I mean with technic holes on the sides, open roof and complete interiors I did it using only spare bricks: the design could have been better, but, hey, I did it for fun! It's a 16-wide, modular service station, done for the "servo showdown" contest. Since I had a old "Shell" printed brick, the gas brand is... Shell :) I already have another bigger service station in my diorama, but this is more detailed. Once the contest will end, I migth tear it down, I haven't decided yet. So, let see the pictures: three figures and a vehicle, plus the station, of course A hippy driving a VW minivan is a classic, isn't it? A picture of the inside Another one Final group picture, I hope you liked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 13, 2013 Beautiful Shell station ...I love this logo and its amazing colors! I like how you have reproduced, with modern techniques, the design of the first Shell stations produced by Lego in the sixties! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pillpod Posted March 14, 2013 This looks great and the van is a nice touch. I'm hoping in the future TLG will release smaller modular sets like the one you've built. Maybe around ~$75-100. They could add to a Lego town and it's always good to have a variety of similar items at different price points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ER0L Posted March 14, 2013 Great Shell station SalvoBrick, I especially love the shape of the roof and those very nice pumps. The interior is very well, done, too! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Locomotive Annie Posted March 14, 2013 That's a really nicely detailed service station, - the hippie in the VW van is a great touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie BJ Posted March 14, 2013 Looks really good and full of details. Some were complaining about the size restrictions but you've pulled it off with using only half the size well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 14, 2013 Very nice station Salvobrick, I like the pump design in particular. The van looks great as well. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EvMan Posted March 15, 2013 Hola! Excellent modular servo, SalvoBrick. You've captured the right level of detail - not a box, but not incongruously elaborate. Best of luck in the showdown. Ev-Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManInATopHat Posted March 15, 2013 Nice VW. It's not a great MOC, but for it's size, it's really quite detailed. All in all, great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Blue Brick Posted March 16, 2013 Great little station. I love that classic VW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalvoBrick Posted March 16, 2013 It's easy to make a MOC when you can choose between an unlimited variety of bricks, or when you order the bricks you need (in shape and color) from several sources... It's harder to do a nice MOC using only the leftovers of several dozens of other MOCs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moctown Posted March 16, 2013 This is really nicely done! The vintage "Shell-Station-Look" reminds me of my childhood! I like the hippie driving that lovely Bully - great combination! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D Posted March 17, 2013 Very nice, compact service station. It looks the part of a late 1960's service station, especially with the hippie and the VW mini van. Good luck in the ontet! Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
