"28mm Post Apoc Gas Station" Topic

Over the last few weeks, I've slowly been working on an abandoned gas station building for my post-apoc games. Haven't made the base yet, but here is the building:

I have more pics at:

Hope it might be of some interest, thanks for looking.

Thats really good! Sadly it's motivated me to start working on my post apocalypse project & putting my current project on hold. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Very nice!

Cool nicely done… Though post apoc gas stations just aren't right without a Red Rocket :)

Nice work.

I'm doing some PA terrain myself at the moment.

Great from start to finish.

Nice job! What did you use to cut the sheet styrene? Table saw?

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated.

I don't actually cut the styrene most of the time. Just scribe and snap. Basically, mark your cut, use a metal straight edge and slice into the face of the styrene with a hobby knife. Then, simply bend the plastic away from the sliced face, at the point of the slice and snap the plastic. Might have to give it a very light sand, and glue with a plastic solvent. I apply the solvent with a small, disposable syringe and needle tip.

For narrow pieces like those above and below the front windows, you might need to scribe it 4-6 times, before bending/snapping.

Looks great! What solvent are you using…I've had trouble in the past bonding styrene.

I'm still using my stash of Tenax 7R, but as far as I know, it isn't available any more.

I've also used Plastruct's Plastic Weld, and Ambroid's Pro Weld. Both seem to work fine. If you can justify the quantity, you can also get MEK from many hardware stores, and IY places, such as Lowes.

Excellent work.
