(1/87th [HO Scale]) 1950's gas station restoration
« on: January 31, 2021, 10:20:33 AM »
HO scale architect's model, built by an ATLANTIC PETROLEUM engineer. Figured I'd give it a 1960's grade restoration.

Display framed out, on an old walnut Bell Telephone switchbox base (how vintage).
Probably use concrete-colored contact paper as a base for this when all is said and done.

That's great! It reminds me of some of the gas stations (working and abandoned) that I've seen on Route 66 in the Mojave.
