Hi all here is the next update, with the drivers cab I thought (my dad was a conductor on London busses when I was a youngster so I saw loads of busses) I never saw one where the glass between the cab and passenger compartment wasn't stained with nicotine (not that I knew that's was what it was then) (everyone used to smoke then) so I've tried (not as well as I would have liked to depict that) nearly made the mistake of putting the lid on the cab then remembered I've got to add a driver.

Hi all hopefully (I'm sorry about this) this will be my last post I accidentally posted my address in an image and there being no way of editing a post and I've emailed on numerous occasions all and every administrative person I can find to have said image removed but had no reply, I've asked to have all content I've posted and my profile removed, I'm hoping this will work. If it does it means good bye, sorry but with identity theft I have no choice.

If you go to wherever the images are hosted, you should be able to delete the offending photo. It should then vanish from the post

Go check your post at the Modeling in General section:

Same suggestion as Dave above.

Thanks will do that.

Hi all well i have more kits for this now (the range rover is thanks to polux)(I will be doing it as a police range rover don't think the rally version would look right in London)

Hi all got some more done on the fountain. 

Never tried a fujimi kit before I must say initial inspection looked good but, the colour callouts are vague to say the least, the plastic is incredibly fragile, I broke the kingpin off and I hardly touched it

Then when I went to fix it I discovered it is totally wrong

It is actually moulded coming out of the break disc.
I think that is a pretty fundamental mistake and very early in the build, I reserve judgement but not looking good at the moment.

Hi all got some more done on the lotus and the bus. I've got to say I'm in awe of the engineering of the bus(when I left school I worked at loading the hoppers on injection moulding machines so I know the work that goes into the moulds of fairly simple things (I mean the items have to be able to be removed from the moulds) there is some amazing engineering on those seat frames.
The seat decals though if I never see another one I will be happy.
The lotus kit I'm warming to everything seems to fit well (do not like the decals, but could say that of a lot of premium kits) (they seem very stiff I'm hoping the gold body fine lines conform better)

Wow Ken

You don't do things by half do you?

Good choice in going with the Leyland engine-it just wouldn't be right otherwise!

Happy (belated) birthday! What a haul!

Hi all got a few figures for the bus

love the seats Ken

Hi all started the decals on the lotus, they're very tricky



Also got the Christmas decs up.

Wow, this is going to be some diorama Ken!

Those decals look just nasty-good job though

Hi all here is another update, I've got all the decals on the lotus and given it a Polish, I'm really chuffed with it, it's a mirror finish (doesn't really show in the pics but trust me it is) also did some more on the fountain, again I'm really pleased at the effect so far.

looks pretty shiny Ken!

Hi all well the lotus is finished, I have to say I'm more than chuffed with it, I think it is the best model I've ever made bar none.

That's a very nice looking Lotus Ken!

Whoa, very slick model. I like your attention to details on the rest of the diorama and bus.

Hi all (taking advantage of our friends internet)here is something I bought for this dio, can you guess what it's for.


And here is an update on the background

Hi all bit of a disaster with the bus dropped it, we happened to be looking after our daughters dog (it's the fastest thing in the world when you drop something) it's eaten the steering wheel hopefully it won't notice when I use one out of the scraps drawer.

Oh no! The dreaded drop!

Can it be repaired, Ken?

Yes i think so but as i said the steering wheel is a goner.

Hi all well the bus is fixed

Looks good. Glad you could fix the bus.
