Hi all here is another update, I've got all the decals on the lotus and given it a Polish, I'm really chuffed with it, it's a mirror finish (doesn't really show in the pics but trust me it is) also did some more on the fountain, again I'm really pleased at the effect so far.

Hi all well the lotus is finished, I have to say I'm more than chuffed with it, I think it is the best model I've ever made bar none.

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.

... it's eaten the steering wheel ...

Why do dogs do these things? Polystyrene can't taste good

I'm guessing that dogs just like to keep their minders on their hominid toes

Hi all here is the next update

elmayerle · « **Reply #58 on:** January 26, 2017, 10:29:17 AM »

That's looking right nice so far.

Hi all here is today's update (couldn't resist trying the layout)

Old Wombat · « **Reply #60 on:** January 30, 2017, 11:48:40 AM »

The bus appears to be out to cause mayhem in the round-about (of which, I'm assuming, the fountain (?) is the centre-piece).

Hi all here is tonight's update.

elmayerle · « **Reply #62 on:** January 31, 2017, 05:46:08 AM »

Coming along very nicely indeed.

Hi all another update

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #65 on:** February 13, 2017, 09:59:29 AM »

I came across this over on Cybermodeler earlier and thought of your project straight away.

I don't think I've seen one of these built before except for this one and your diorama project.

That's getting to look right nice indeed!

kpnuts · « **Reply #67 on:** February 18, 2017, 04:50:52 AM »

Hi all done a bit more on the bus ( I definitely have too many balls in the air)

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #68 on:** February 18, 2017, 05:16:51 AM »

That looks like an RSO cab when it's on its own like that!

Cheers,

Logan

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.

Camthalion · « **Reply #70 on:** February 22, 2017, 12:21:16 PM »

very nice

kpnuts · « **Reply #71 on:** February 27, 2017, 03:14:19 AM »

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

Claymore · « **Reply #72 on:** February 27, 2017, 04:22:10 AM »

Awesome! I like your solution. Sometimes the easiest answer really is the best and it looks great. :)

kpnuts · « **Reply #73 on:** March 01, 2017, 04:12:12 AM »

Hi all, well all the windows are done.

Claymore · « **Reply #74 on:** March 01, 2017, 06:52:09 AM »

Looking good but where do you keep all of these enormous kits once they are built? :)
