I'm gonna give it a go to convert MiniArt's B-type Military Omnibus (https://miniart-models.com/product/39001-b-type-military-omnibus/) into something like this: https://lanmiblog.wordpress.com/2018/11/05/wwi-b-type-bus/. I've built the civilian version some time ago, and it was a pleasure to build. I've started on the pigeon loft. Strip plastic and a drawing from a 1/72 scale model blown up to 1/35 is all you need, really. Surgery has started: I want to use as much of the original plastic as possible to make the fit better when I put the four walls together. I tried two different types of latches for the door in the back, and eventually decided to use the one on the right. And all put together. And with a roof made of thick paper. The parts that will make up the pigeon lofts. And ready for the paint booth. To be continued ... (I won't post more than a few pictures of the regular build, but concentrate on the pigeon loft. /Torbjörn

Hello everyone, In the following days I will join this group build with not one but two Type B buses. One will be done following Airfix instructions, but the second one I will try to transform into pigeon-of-war mobile loft. Britain used over 100.000 pigeons during the Great war, and they were vital channel of communication. What is more interesting in for us modellers is that these mobile lofts were all patterned and camouflaged differently. It will be interesting to guess which colours were used on this one 😀 Anyhow, here are the obligatory pictures of the kit and I hope to start this week, and I will try to inform you on the progress on regular basis.
