Petrol Pump and forecourt set in 28mm.
« on: August 15, 2018, 07:14:28 PM »
These have been gathering dust for a while now. It was Sabots 1939-40 thread with its garage pictures that reminded me .
There's a 1920's + manual pump(tall) ,and a 1930's + electric pump(short) It was common to find both types of pump on the same forecourt. Also there's a motor oil forecourt cabinet,and a forecourt 'swing' sign.
I thought as I'm dropping of sculpts at Partizan this weekend.I'd see if anyone was interested in these . Because I can drop them off to add to the follies range at the same time . If not I'll add them to my own garage (when its finished.

Mark.

Those would absolutely be useful.

The mechanic is part of this set. It's already released. It's the Chinese Adventures set.

Are you suggesting a mechanic would be nice as part of the set?

I think it would finish the set off nicely. I struggled to find a useful figure and have head swapped a Eureka figure ( new head is flat cap wearing chap) but, your mechanic figure is smashing. 👍

The garage set looks really good and very useful.
How about an AA or RAC phone box, just a thought.

Yet more nice/essential stuff from you.
I like you, but my wallet is beginning to hate you.

Certainly interested in the pumps, quite essential for VBCW/Sealion type games or indeed France 1940 where diesel pumps were an important German objective.

Just finished putting a garage together and didn't really like the rectangular MDF pumps...but yours are lovely.  How can I get a set of those with the cabinet & sign?  If the mechanic was in the set too, that would be even better.
