Derek A Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Very good so far, I'm intrigued to see how this one turns out! I can see what you mean about seat decals and I totally agree with the comment on the driver's seat. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 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.

TonyTiger66 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 This is a really fun project. It's a shame that the Bentley got dropped; good save on the bus. The diorama is huge! Looking forward to seeing how the buildings come along and to the Mini . Here's another possible model that could be 'de-rallyfied'. http://www.hattons.co.uk/181251/Revell_07374_U_Ford_Escort_Rally_Pre_owned_imperfect_box/StockDetail.aspx Great stuff Best regards TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hi all well it's starting to look like a London bus now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Looking good. I'm not sure the marker pen was a good idea though. You may be okay, (in which case, great idea!) but I've heard that the 'ink' can react with some plastics, break down and turn into streaky purples. Let's hope not.

kpnuts Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
