huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hello and welcome @St3v3g The' bus must be a fair size if it's 24th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3g Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Yes it is. It has taken quite a long time. Lots of detail. Just finished most of the internal bits. Working on the exterior at the moment all bits airbrushed red. Now doing the detail on that. A good few weeks left. @Scimitar Edited November 28, 2018 by St3v3g 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St3v3g Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi Steve. I will definitely be posting the end results. Always looking for bits of information. Not really looked into weathering yet. But looking at making this my next move. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roy107 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi Steve and welcome, I too am new here. I'd love to get my hands on a whole fleet of those Revell Routemasters, just to paint them up in the garish liveries used up and down the country in the late 80s/ early 90s. Strathtay Scottish is a favourite. Look forward to seeing yours when its done! Best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.E.SAUNDERS Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 hi Steve, thanks for your Reply, yep Aussie's do have that REVELL Acrylic Paint down here I already have HUMBROL's FERRARI RED, but havin' seen the real thing when I visited the U.K.in 2014 I think the HUMBROL #60 Scarlet is pretty close a match . Any suggestions for the HALIFAX / GLASGOW of the 60's 70's Apple Green ? Are HUMBROL RAIL COLOURS still in exsistence ? .....have had a lot of trouble tryin' to git that Colour right hhhhhhrrrr ! However I bought a tinlet of HUMBROL #208 Fluorescent Green, and with a dab of Grey just might do it Will be beamin' Photo's of My EFE HEBDON BRIDGE D/Decker adorned with Local Ads sometime soon. Real Busineses but never happened as far as I know mumbatatshunzz ! Geoff F.T.G. 3156 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3v3g Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 http://www.gaugemaster.com/revell/Revell_Paint_Conversion_Chart.pdf @G.E.SAUNDERS this is a paint conversion chart I use. But very limited to four brands of paint. Sorry never heard of rail colours. Look forward to seeing your model soon. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.SAUNDERS Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 hi all , I have seen that Revell Paint Conversion Chart. The HUMBROL Chart I am referencin' has (10 ) Conversions , including Wargamers Paints ..........would be about (10) years old at least. Have you gone to the Svedish ipsmstockholm.org/colorcharts/stuff Site ? ......... It's all there but dated by now ( Sept 2006) Had success with the Halifax /Glasgow Apple Green by mixing a base colour of Humbrol Fluoro Green with EXTRCOLOR X-11 RAF Trainer Yellow...... BINGO ! 🙂 cheery "Pre Christmas " mumbas ! Geoff F.T.G. 3156 🖥️🙂☕🐱🐱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
