Micro-Scale Models The Corner Gas and Oil

I've been following, Bob, but forget to comment 

Love the roof treatment, the overall build is excellent.

I have now put this kit in a saved ebay search, hopefully one comes along for a decent price. One more gas station I want to build.

So, Bob, what's your verdict on Micro-Scale kits?  You certainly got a good result!

They are okay.  I really wasn't planning on doing a hydrocal kit.  The walls, okay, but the entire roof?  I wasn't impressed by the included hydrocal detail parts.  Why are grain sacks included?  On a positive note, the building castings are very dense and can take a lot of handling.  The instructions are basic and often refer you to a specific detail number. 


I have two more of their gas stations (Gas Station kit 35 and Wintersrun Mobilgas) but I think these are primarily laser kits.  I haven't opened either one yet.

Hey Bob:

Looking at the valleys in your roof. How do you think they would look if they were copper. Copper color or NYC or Penn Central green for patina.

If it were subtle, it'll probably look great.  I know they used a lot of copper back East Coast, not so much here in the Midwest Coast.
