good to see it 'back on the road' Ken

Hi all here is the next update

Hi all here is today's update (couldn't resist trying the layout)

That's going to be massive Ken!

Where are you going to put that?

Dunno I'll worry about that when it's done. here is tonight's update.

Hi all more work on the bus.

Hi all another update

a very busy looking bench there Ken

That bus is quite a massive kit. It doesn't even dwarf whe next to the 1/8 scale models.

Hi all done a bit more on the bus ( I definitely have too many balls in the air)

Hi all here's today's bit, first non perfect fitting bit (where the bit beneath the bonnet just won't stay glued I think I will just have to take it off and shave some off the front chassis) it's still an amazingly engineered build.

Wow! The bus is huge Ken!

This is going to be one big diorama!

Hi all here is the next update, all the windows on this have a black rubber surround and it was taking me ages to do them then I had an epiphany they take less than a minuet each now, take a magic marker put on the edge and draw round

Hi all, well all the windows are done.

Great idea using the marker, for the windows. Will make a note of that one.

Hi all well it's starting to look like a London bus now.

and a fine looking bus it is too Ken

Hi all, well the bus is done 








Here are the cars for it (I've realised I didn't put the lotus in it) I think it's looking quite busy.

That's a great looking Bus, Ken!

Really starting to take shape now

Hi all next update, started the London taxi, I must say I'm a bit disappointed (not the kit it's good enough) it's just I could have knocked it out in a day easily, it is a VERY simple kit, yes it looks like a London taxi but maybe if it had a full engine or maybe the door handles were separate parts, I don't know what they could have done but it really is a simple kit.The kit is rated skill level 3 personally I think it should be level 1.





Anyway I've also started the Italari phantom 2 rolls royce (I've spent the same amount of time on this so you can see the difference) the taxi only needs the glass and body on half an hour, let dry add decals done in 2 hrs

Hi all well the taxi is finished (definitely not skill level 3 as the instructions suggest) I could easily done it in a day.




I did some more to the roller



Also started a paper model of a classic London Police box (never done a paper model before and it's a strughle)

Very nice work on the bus. Keep up the good work.

Hi all well i didn't like mk1 so here's mk2

And here's the two together

Much happier.

Hi all here is the next update

Hi all here is the next bit




TBH I'm loosing interest in this dio even though it gets more interest (or maybe because it gets more interest) than more complex kits I'm building, I may shelve this for a while as I'm getting to the stage I feel like just chucking them together to get them out the way, once I've finished this model I think I will concentrate on the others I'm building, and put this on the back burner for now
