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

Loving the bus Ken.You do seem to get a lot of plastic for your money.

Man he took his time in the sun
Had a dream to understand
A single grain of sand
He gave birth to poetry
But one day will cease to be
Greet the last light of the library...We were here!

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.

Really nice end result result Ken.

I recently travelled on an old Route Master bus myself. Sir Peter Hendy CBE, the chairman of Network Rail, took a load of managers out to dinner to celebrate the successful delivery of a big project.

We all piled on his restored Route Master at Swindon to be driven to Bath where we had dinner. Here is a picture, thought you might like it BigGrin

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
