Here are 5 preview shots of my large (17 inch X 30 inch base size) Amoco Gas
station.  Not much to talk about yet, skip to bottom for the pictures if you
don't want to read:

In the first picture the black things at the top are actully the doors to
the bathroom & storage room, and are built with plates, in a 3x6 size, and
held on buy a 1x1 Brick with ressed headlight, and 1x1 tile with top clip;
and on the door a 1x2 plate with handle.  the back door to the storage room
will also be built this way.

The 2nd picture show the almost complete pumps, there are a total of 6
regular unleaded/ Premium unleaded/ Super unleaded gas pump (all 6 allow you
to get choose between the 3).  There is also a deisel pump, with 2 hoses.

The 3rd shows 2 of the regular gas(petrol in some countries) pumps, the top
is lined with 1x2x1 panel peices, to allow room for the Amoco text.

The 4th picture is an interior view of the station.  Closest to you, in the
middle of the picture, the grey object it the tobacco products rack, faceing
the worker in white, and only the person behind the counter is allowed to
touch the tobacco, unless you pay & show I.D.  Under the counter are 3 2x3x2
storage boxes, for storing stuff, including a gun for the worker.  The
yellow thing behind him (left in picture) is the rack for video tapes, which
are for sale.  Left of the guy in the green is a rack of decorative tiles,
for vehicles.  The large item to the right of him, is a cooler, fully
stocked with pop (soda), and to the right of that is a rack of pop (soda).
The dark grey 1x1's in front of the pop are oil cans.  On the right of the
pop rack, is a shelf of food, in clear boxes (the top part now has 2 1x2
trans light blue bricks too!).  The black door that is further back is the
storage room, the closer on is a unisex bathroom, complete with toilet,
toilet paper, and a sink.  To the right of the red door in the middle is a
rack of candy, allready missing some.  Finnally to the right of that is an
ATM machine, for that needed cash.

The 5th picture shows a paper machine, & an Ice Box, complete with ice.

All that is missing is some of the wall & the roofs.  just above the minifig
in green there will be 2 tv monitors, for the cameras in the station.  In
the back corner there will also be a rack of lifejackets.

Here are the pictures:

P.S. for any train buff's reading this, i'm working on 2 Hi-cube 50' plug
door boxcars, 2 60' mill gondolas, the finishing touches of my 50' gondola &
BNSF 4 bay covered hopper & tank car, and also working on a Union Pacific 3
bay covered hopper.
