This was an attempt to build a toy truck stop for my 3 year old grandson. I did the best I could to scale it to the same scale as the trucks. I have more photos but they are too large to upload.
I see a Norman Rockwell print in the making!
Nice job. I’m sure the little one will enjoy playing with it almost as much as you did making it.
Now that is cool! Well done….
What a great take on the matchbox toy garage….beaut truck stop..Top design, simple & strong for hours of play..well done..
What dimensions is the whole thing please??
I would have loved to see the additional photos…..
Crowie I will have to measure it the next time I am at my grandson’s house which is 50 miles Southeast of here. I can give you a lot of measurements other than the whole thing so I will take my notebook and tape measure, and my grandson and I will do some measuring. I will also take some more photos at a lower resolution so I can put them on LJ for you to view.
I think you got it just right. Nice work.
What was your inspiration? Looks just like a HESS station!
Nice job, I’m sure the grandson loved it. What little kid wouldn’t?
joein10asee, I love your sign on name, very, very clever. The Hess does have a connection with the station. My grandson was receiving the annual Hess toy for Christmas so I built this station to help him use his smaller trucks and cars along with the larger Hess units. He loves it and has played with it a great deal.
