discussion London bus dio

[Guest]

Hi all well i have more kits for this now (the range rover is thanks to polux)(I will be doing it as a police range rover don't think the rally version would look right in London)

Will be watching Peters build of the transit with interest.

Will you be doing the box art like me or something else as there is plenty of scope for different body styles

 

[monica]

nice picks Ken,will be interested to see how the rover turn,s out,

 

[Guest]

This is sounding more and more interesting.

 

[Guest]

Well if I'm doing the range rover as a police car it seems fitting the transit is the robbers vehicle.

Hi all got some more done on the fountain.

Great work going on here Ken. Love the detail you added to the bus; the nicotine stained windows are a nice touch.

 

[Guest]

Here is the next update, nearly finished the fountain

Just have to figure out how to do the water jets.

 

[Guest]

Cool!!! Looks really good

Maybe you can try with some piece of crystal sprues....

Some great vehicle additions there Ken, and great work on the fountain.
For the water spouts how about some thin clear rod to make the shape then just coat it in clear sealant to make the water effect.

The fountain is looking great.

 

[Snowman]

Taking it to the next level!!

This is looking amazing and love the new transit can't wait to see that one finished

Hi all decided to start this one

Never tried a fujimi kit before I must say initial inspection looked good but, the colour callouts are vague to say the least, the plastic is incredibly fragile, I broke the kingpin off and I hardly touched it

Then when I went to fix it I discovered it is totally wrong

It is actually moulded coming out of the break disc.
I think that is a pretty fundamental mistake and very early in the build, I reserve judgement but not looking good at the moment.

Hi all here is the next bit

Buffed up the body a bit before adding the decals, needs a bit more doing to it but quite pleased so far.

Just to say I've not stopped on the bus (those seat decals are a real pain in the bum) I've not posted progress pics as it would be boring but nearly there on them)

Really fantastic work my friend. Excellent.

 

[Guest]

Ken .... great work on the fountain and that lotus body looks really good. Nice clean and very polished.

 

[Guest]

[Guest]

Nice work so far Ken.
The Lotus is looking really good
