An English country garage

Gives me a good Postman Pat vibe...I love it

Neat building! I've been working on some classic English half-timbered buildings mostly for English Civil War gaming, but also considering adding a few pieces to update the setting to the interwar/pulp era, similar to what you've done here.

nice model, but the gas pump is a bit "modern" ... for a country garage ...

Nice paint job on the roof.

Are the ridge tiles some form of putty with cuts to show seperate tiles, they look well.

The petrol pump looks fine to me for an English garage. The French one looks fantastic but, well, very French

it was just that in a country garage, i did not expect to see a "modern" ( electrical) pump ... the ones in my post are frenchies, but in this rural garage, i was expecting a manual gas pump

Good point - I hadn't thought of that Maybe not quite like that French one which is truly magnificent but you're right - manual seems to be most likely....

It is rural Shropshire, dear boy, not the back of beyond. Although trying to get a phone signal, I do wonder at times
