Building was made using part of a Wells Fargo Pola build that had been damaged in a storm. The building actually supplied enough material to build this and 2 others. This is one of my first buildings that kit bashed, and at that time I had just gotten into LED's so this one is Battery powered. It has lights inside the building, 1 under the canopy where the pumps are and 1 each in the Texaco stars on the top of the building, and switch for same is just under the eve of the rear of the building which you can see just above the Texaco sign on rear of building. I changed the hoses on the pumps to a finer more realistic tubing. Funny thing that you can't see in the pictures but the 1920ish pumps have a EPA lead warranting. The roof I weathered like an old station that I remember that the owner had replace 1 rusted out roof panel( I get a lot of ? about why I didn't paint that panel, too funny)
., Side doors do open and station now has an old time coke cooler out in front and added old time decals. This build was for 1 of my sons that friends call Barn, friends are always kidding him about having "gas" so figured I'd give him a gas station. Wife wants me to put a marque out from saying Barn's got gas but I figured I'd let the name recognition die down a little before rubbing salt in the wound. I have made buildings for my other son, daughter, wife and one for my sister, all having some meaning they can reflect to. I will post those as well when time permits. Fun build
