Hi Mike! was wondering about this build, did you finish it? I also have a bus but mine is from Ironside
it is a multimedia kit with white metal, plastic, resin and photoeched parts. its was started before my Dora
arrived, it is waiting in line to be finished.
thanks Abdin!

Hack, cough, wheeze! There's enough dust on this old bone to make a nice diorama! It's a cold, rainy afternoon and I needed something to build while my Jagdpanzer is drying. Picking up where I left off, I decided to add armor plates over the windows, effectively making the interior invisible.
Here's what the afternoon yielded...
I cleaned a bunch of the parts so I can begin assembly. Hopefully, I won't be as long between updates this time. Thanks for coming by!

Looking great so far. I built one of those in 1/72 scale some time back so I know what you're going through...somewhat. Looking forward to seeing more.

As requested, it's back to the bus for me. :laugh: I piddled with this yesterday while waiting for paint to dry and then again today.
The tires and wheels were black primed, then painted with AK Real Colors Rubber Black. I broke out the circle template to paint the wheels Vallejo RAL8020 after a coat of Tamiya German Gray. The dirt is Ammo Of Mig Nature Effects 1751 Dry Steppe thinned with odorless paint thinner.
I had painted the undercarriage with Tamiya German Gray a couple weeks ago and had decided I wasn't going to show any engine detail, so I wasn't sure I would do much to the chassis either. I had so much fun doing the wheels, of course the chassis was next. :laugh: Break out the Nature Effects!
I used some old Mig Productions Oil and Grease in spots like the U joints and differential, followed bu Fresh Engine Oil by Ammo on the engine and springs. Take a good look, because they are going to be covered up!
Resin tires and wheels add a lot of detail, but they are sort of a pain in the neck to mount. I used my tweezers to adjust the height and slid the wheel on the brake drum with a liberal dose of CA to hold it.
When the third wheel was dry, it was a pretty easy matter to get the alignment right.
What I especially like about the Ammo Nature Effects is you can thin them, apply with a brush, then once dry, brush away areas you want uncovered with a stiff brush. It leaves a cool dusty effect.
So we're up on wheels and have a gazillion seats painted (that also won't be seen :gogo ). Maybe next weekend we can make him look like a bus? Thanks for coming by!
