Tank Farm -just the place for Pulp Fun

[Amalric]

Once upon a time I made a gas tank for gaming.

But it was lonely. 

Then one day I noticed the gas tanks at my local gas station.


Hmmmmmmmmm, maybe the little tank doesn't have to be lonely.

1-buy and eat chips


2-cover empty can in tape to simulate steel plates


3-add wire for ladder rungs and may be some nurnies for interest



4-paint and play


Now my tank is happy in a tank farm!






I'm on top of the world Ma!


Enjoy

[von Lucky]

Very nice.

Excellent!

Well done!

Tanks for that very entertaining refinery.

Very nice work. It's nice to see someone being forced to eat Pringles just for the sake of their hobby, such dedication! 

[Andym]

Pringles...should be a stable part if any war gamers diet. Classic, pringle towers!

Once upon a time I made a gas tank for gaming.

I do perfectly know where that one belongs to... 



Honestly very good work on those tanks!

Great work. Thank you for posting the work-in-progress shots and the 'tape' hint.

Nice  
Looking at those tanks with the texaco logo reminded to me about the "american pickers" from "history" channel
There you can see sometime these tanks. And some vintage texaco signs or from other oil companies bought or sold for hundreds or thousands of $
(I didn't know that in the US market these vintage advertising of oil companies were so loved)

Great work, lovely idea

Sitting in the backseat of dad's old Cadillac on a cold-cold prairie winter night, pulling into one of those classic gas stations (loooong before 'self-serve')... Everywhere else in town already closed for the night (they roll up the sidewalks at 5:30pm, except for the Chinese restaurant that stays open scandalously late; 9;30pm)...

The lights of those old service-station signs were beacons and full-service was air, oil, windows.. you name it. Some poor half-frozen, underpaid kid running around in the winter wind instead of playing street hockey. 

Good times.

Nice work, and a cute story too!  Thanks for the tape tip.

I'm a bit surprised nobody posted this yet.

The Boss would have written a song on that story...
