THE BUS is finished......

[Dave Van]

 This model is as much a show car than actual drag car. 
Started as a Tom Daniel S'cool bus kit....converted from duel motor to a single with shortened chassis. 
This project was started back 2012 and stalled after I finished the chassis and body work....but stalled when I could not decide paint and graphics......so I just picked and hoped for the best!! 
I made the conventional bus into more a city 'flat nose' bus to mirror a certain movie vehicle!! Tall injector stacks are from a AMT Beetle Bus (soon to be reissued) most of the rest kit parts or sheet stock. K&S tinted clear stock for windows, reg clear for front windshield. Tamiya paints and my own decals. I will clear it in a week or two but will not look different....calling it 'stalled #2 complete' Thanks

Now that's cool. I'm very impressed with this one. Looks like you put a lot of time and effort into it Dave. Really nice , actually that's an understatement, Amazing is more like it. 

Thank you.     Jeff 

[Dave Van]

I love it Dave!  Love the final choice of decals... but if you were having problems figuring it out, you did design a certain decal sheet a short time ago!  

I've been working on my own version of the S'cool Bus.  I started it as part of the 24 Hour  Build and actually got it 80% finished  before tacky paint that wouldn't dry had me stop at 6am.  I've worked major hours the last 14 hours straight at work, so I haven't had a chance to get back to it.  I won't post my progress photos here, so not to invade your thread.. but hopefully will get some bench time soon to finish it!

Well done Dave.

Very nice........Dave Van.

That's really cool! I started a S'Cool Bus years ago but went the opposite route. If freakishly long w/2 motors wasn't big enough, why not extend the body and chassis to make it a 4 motored behemoth. It ended up being so big I stored it with an 1/8 scale project that's yet to be finished. Made a promise to myself after the holidays, no more new projects until I finish at least a few old ones. Thanks for a bit of inspiration to get mine back out!

Again really cool flat nose conversation, looks awesome!!!

[slusher]
