###"Penguin Petrol" lettering is painted by hand.
###Flat Base and Base
The car is tied by wires through the hole in the flat base, the second car has a single hole for screwing a screw through it.
Flat base should fit nicely into the base, the tflat base should be glued or tape to the base. As for the alignment of the flat base to the base, see picture below.
###Tiny Building
Print the building walls first, the door will fit into the gap but will need some additional tape to hold it there. The large window area has no printed piece, I use a transparent PVC sheet. Floor should fit in nicely, there is a gap for the table to fit in, the shelf will fit in nicely into the back wall.
Prop pieces are optional, I printed mine in white and coloured them by hand. It is meant to make the shelf looks like it is filled with something.
###Station Top
Print the walls of the station top first, the plate which work as the ceiling of the petrol station will slide in nicely into the walls. Print the clips to hold the ceiling piece to the walls. Station top will just fit nicely on the walls, the penguin petrol logo will fit nicely into the square hole at the side.
The 2 holes in the ceiling piece is meant for large LED, if you have a smaller LED you can use the "LightPatch" to make the hole smaller.
###Fuel Pump
Print the main machine body first, the first dent into the body is meant for the machine panel. The 2 round holes on top is meant for the fuel pipes, print 2 of each pipes to fit into the main body. The 2 lower holes is meant for the fuel gun holder, it will fit in nicely and print 4 of them.
All parts are best to be glued on the machine body but double sided tape works too.
###Full Build
With the flat plate on the base, put the completed tiny building in the corner. The fuel pump will fit on to the largest hole on the divider on the flat base. The 2 smaller hole is meant for the square pillars connecting the flat base to the station top.
If you are unsure on how to assemble them, please send me a message or leave a comment.
Feel free to send me any feedback on how to improve the design. Suggestion on display base designs are welcomed too.
