Ainsty Petrol pumps
« on: February 06, 2011, 01:19:19 AM »
Hi, I posted some ealier photos of these pumps but feel this is finished enough now to move on. I have used the Cork tile method to make the shop and Workshop.The windows on the shop were made from plastic rod and frosted glass from some kind of plastic cover? I tried the varnish and print method for the lettering but hardly anything remained on so hand painted the letters afterwards.

The extra bits were also mainly from Ainsty.

The Texaco signs were from the sheet that I found on this forum from Sven I think. I also found the originals online while googling around.

I dont think I should post the pic where I parked a Landrover in front of the Peniston Oils signage  ;)
I'm a fan of Top Gear in case you were wondering.

Top Top Gear References!  lol

Very Nice building too.

Yes I tried the varnish method on a test piece and it was rubbish... I think I'll try plastiweld, printouts and plasticard next... liquid poly cement doesn't make print-outs run like a Mexican stealing your stuff* y'see.

Who makes the Road Warrior mini?

One miniature is too many, and a thousand are not enough...

Hi Wolf, I believe it is a Reaper mini

Btw Dan, very nice terrain, the pumps especially look very realistic.

Thanks all  :) yes the Road warrior is a Reaper figure and meant to be the Terminator.

The printing looks rubbish in the pics but ok in real life. I think I will try household varnish next time I try that method again.

Just had a thought  :o I need to make a billboard with a picture of a truck, Jeremy's face and that statement  ;)
