    Default Toy Garage/Service Station with an old fashion look…

    Toy Garage/Service Station with an old fashion look…


    The Golden Fleece Oil Company was swallowed up years ago by the multi-nationals like many others across the world, but it’s a part of the Australian history.

    You got full driveway service from a very helpful attendant.

    So when my youngest daughter asked me to make a garage/service station Christmas gift for her mother-in-law who now has three [3] grandson,
    this fitted the bill, got to keep history alive for the new generations.

    We used to call them Petrol Stations with most having a full service workshop especially in country along with a shop and often a small restaurant.

    You could always tell the good ones as the truckies would be stopped at them for there break.

    Ford is an Aussie icon, who won’t love to own a late 1960’s Ford Mustang; also the Peter’s IceCream and Goodyear Tyres are all Aussie special….

    Cheers, crowie

    Brilliant, Crowie! Brings back memories of the early 70’s.

    Thanks for sharing!

    You have been a busy lad Crowie. Heaps of fun for the little ones, and it should last for many years.

    Great job,

    Alan...

    I really like that, nicely coloured and detailed.

    Did they really have helipads on the top?

    oh, and don't forget the cost, Petrol $0.14c/l, paddle pops $0.25c, Bag of chips $0.15, and $1.00 worth of hot chips from the F&C shop would feed 4.
