E Crank gas & Oil expands

When I built the little E Crank Co fuel depot I used a plastic tank kit by ratio, an English firm.  I had previously bought one of these kits and I'd started on them and salted them away for a later project. I found them again and when I "rediscovered" them I realised I could expand Crank's to use them.  I had the plastic base from the IHC Lastop Funeral Home kit which was paving and concrete with a large oblong hole in the middle.  I figured this could be used to make a bund which would add some interest.  I put together a scrapbox structure for a machinery and pump house which still needs some tech gubbins added to the rear wall. Here are the results so far. I had to make a plywood base for it so I could "engineer" the different heights.  I may have to think about replacing the wooden fence with a taller, chain link one. Mmmmm....
