Here are just a couple off pictures so far.

I have placed some of the decals and then gloss coated over, it's the first time I have used this type of painting but thought I would try it as it is what I have found on this site.

Hope you like it.

I think my favourite detail has got to be the seat covers!

All it's missing is some tiny fag burns and some chewed gum LOL

This is coming along brilliantly, my uncle used to drive these many moons ago

I'll have to show him your build when I see him next, I'm sure he'll love it

Thanks for all your comments they are much appreciated, as for the air brushing its still a big learning curve and one that will over time I might feel more comfortable with, at the moment I am still practicing.
Hope you like the model the next pictures will hopefully see it finished.

If you really are having trouble airbrushing like I did the best advice I can give is buy a pack of plastic spoons from a pound shop and a pot of paint the type you would be using on the bus and just practice on the spoons, after about a day playing with different mixtures pressures and different ways of masking you will have a basic way of airbrushing.
Hope this helps you rob and have a bash it will really take you to a new level of modelling.

Happy spraying.

Just a couple of pics of the figures Stevie-O kindly sent me.
I have done some modifications on a couple to suit my needs hope they come off as ok.

The first one is of a standard model, all of them resin cast.



This next one is of someone reading the paper at a bus stop, I had to readjust rhe arms.



This one I made into a clippy made the ticket machine from old engine parts and strip styrene for the scraps and the hat was made from the lid of a locust box from my pet bearded dragon.



Think she came out ok even gave her the badge, will be painting them in the London blue of the 1960s uniform.

Hope you like them and thanks again Stevie-O
