Gulf Service Station 70s and 80s

thingiverse

This is a model of the Gulf service station that was down the street from my home when I was a child. It's where my parents got their cars fixed and where I used to sneak off to for snacks. They were common in the 70s and 80s and when I think of that era, this is the kind of place I think of. The one in my old neighborhood got torn down and completely changed a good deal or two ago, but this one still exists in my memories! Print it upside down and you won't need any supports or raft. Scaled to kind of fit both miniatures and Hot Wheels. Comes in three flavors, both garage doors closed, one open or both open. I highly recommend accessorizing this with some of the other excellent models here on thingverse like : Gaslands - Scatter Terrain by Sablebadger. I especially love the pile of tires for the outside and that set of oil cans looks great too. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2933354/files Also, my own vintage pepsi machine (I used to walk down to this gas station JUST to get cans of soda from the machine) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4918749 And for the inside? Scale Tire Balancer Machine by Harley Designs https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4692297 RC Engine Lift by RC Designa https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1694446/files And if you need a good looking engine to put on it? Nice simple one right here! Even comes with a stand if you don't like the other one. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1869575 Hydraulic Car lift by Cayguy https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:394307
