Our club does 1/16 RC tanks and vehicles and we have various buildings-simple to put up and put away however, we supplement these simple structures by adding items of our own.
I have done a few and so have other members for our 'little village' so, to go with a basic building that is done as a workshop I have been raiding the parts and the spares drawers and have started on a open plan garage/work area that will compliment it.
The top (still in progress) and base are from an old dolls house, the poles are hardwood round lengths (same as I am using to make some telegraph/power line poles). The floor is old plastic tiles with a grille from a air-vent, the pipework is made from a poundshop fancy straw thingy I had saved-as you do-the petrol pump is bought but stripped, repainted and weathered. I made the air-pump from a plastic bed part and a plastic bolt, the gauge is made from a model ship porthole.
I then made a table and bench, weathered it and drilled holes for tools, hacked a plastic crate and added a plastic model basket from a 1/12 moped and that has become a storage box. Found an old engine and repainted it.
More to follow.
