Great work and save on the bus Ken,
Where did you get the figures and what scale are they 1/24 or 1/25, also what colour did you do the bus.

The bus is rosso red the figures are supposed to be 1/24 but i think are a little over scale as the blokes i either have to force them to sit or put them going up the stairs as they're too tall to have standing in the aisle.

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.

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

Just caught back up with your build Ken and you have made loads of progress since I last seen it.
Looks fantastic and love the bus so far it's all coming together nicely.
Great job
