This is just a little rural Octan gas station and matching semi tanker truck that I've been working on since... (checks notes) early 2022?!? The tanker truck was originally modified from set 8486 - Mack's Team Truck a long time ago and then modified to sort-of resemble the 1950s semi truck from the Spielberg film 'Duel' in 2025. The building (completed mid-2022), however, is inspired by Brick City Depot's Winter Village Gas Station from the late 2000's with the Christmas stuff removed, a back added to the building, and a large Octan sign put on the roof. Sections of both the building and truck come off for interior access. The front of the building. The gas pumps are way older than the 1950s, but I like how they look here, so stay they will. The rear of the building, with rooftop skylight. The roof has a segment that comes off to get at the inside of the building. There are plenty of snacks, various automotive supplies, and even a wanted poster on the wall! The front of the truck with it's driver. The rear of the truck. That dark gray box behind the cab is an air conditioner. The doors open, and the roof comes off the truck to seat one figure at the wheel. Thoughts? -
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!
