Here's a neat little gas station I keep thinking about:







The pumps seem to be a little melted. My wife calls it the "zombie apocalypse gas station." She's cool like that. Some day I'm going to fix it...when I get time. It reminds me of all the little gas stations that used to be around.

If you have a more modern layout that would be an ideal station to make look abandoned.

The pumps look like a harmonizing barbershop quartet.

It's unmarked, and came in a garage sale box lot, so I don't know.

Now that you mention it, they really do.

I also thought about making it look abandoned. In fact, I thought about taking my wife's idea and running with it...a post-apocalypse, zombie-infested wasteland. I just don't have a place to do it.

I love that abandoned looking esso station!

Here's my BotW service station. It seems to be the same basic structure as Walt's.
