Torbjörn Hanö Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Finished a while ago, but I have been waiting for two missing sprues. They were sent from Miniart mid February, but I suppose that Putins war against Ukraine badly effects the postal services. The parts I miss is the shovel and the pick-axe, so you have to create an image of them in the back of the bus. Hope you like it. It was a very fun and enjoyable build. You can find the wip-pix here: Take care! /Torbjörn 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I love it. A really nice model. But I think you need a couple of pigeons on the steering wheel, to look like they're driving it! 😀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a few left. /T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince1159 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Brilliant absolutely brilliant but if you don't mind me saying it looks to clean if you get my drift (Think of Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer matt Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) That is a lovely quirky thing. I built an original 1960s boxing of the Airfix 1:32 B type troop bus for a customer a few years ago, and the research for that led to all kind of variations like the pigeon loft. Tempted as I was to convert another build for myself, it wasn't the most user friendly kit so I didn't bother. I must try and get hold of one of these now. Edit, just looked and you converted yours before the kit. Sorry. Makes your build doubly impressive! Matt.

Thanks! And yeah, I know. But then it would be all white. 😁 /T 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
