kpnuts Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hi all my daughter bought me this kit for Christmas, I didn't really know what to do with it at the time (those who know me know I hardly ever do out of the box) I had I quick look in the box and made all the right noises at the time, I've had a few ideas of what to do with it and I had an idea I would do it as a sightseeing bus and cut the roof off and light it up so tonight I opened the box for a look at what would be involved, I have to say it was quite a shock, there are so many parts and it looks so complex, even to build oob without doing anything else to it. It's back in the box and in the stash till I feel more able to tackle it, it truly looks like a great kit though, no flash at all that I can see and very crisp detail.

peteski Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Yes, that kit has amazing amount of detail. I also have one of the large tour buses Revell made few years back. Again, lots of well-made parts. One of the reasons I haven't even started either one is that I have no place to display them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi all I was in Hunstanton over the weekend and nipped into the LMS and spied this (among other things) and had an idea for the most ambitious diorama I've ever tried I won't be starting it till I've finished a few I have on the go at the moment, here's the plan. I've just bought revells 1/24 4.5 litre Bentley. I'm now going to get a 1/24 taxi a mini,an E Type jaguar and a Roller I'm going to put them with the bus on a Base with one of the London stations and maybe a phone box and a PO box (depends on whether I can find a 60s pic of one of the stations with a phone box or PO box in the pic. As I said my most ambitious idea to date and it will mean destroying some of my completed dios as I won't have room for them, I've a lot of things to collect first and a lot of research to do, then plan out make it as small as I can and still be believable. Luckily London has always been packed with vehicles nose to tail and of course I can use both lanes going and coming, lots to think about, I'm figuring a start maybe October.

sjordan2 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Just curious, but how does a rare icon like the Bentley fit into a street scene with the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) The Bentley is an iconic British car as is the mini the jag the taxi the bus the post box and the phone box Edited August 21, 2016 by kpnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creative Explorer Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Even though you are right, I also agree a little bit with Skip. It just doesn't really fit in the picture. By all means; it is YOUR display, so you do whatever you want haha!But I think a E-type, Mini, some Lotusses, London cab and that sort (sixties cars) would 'fit' a little bit better.

It does if you used to watch the TV series, The Avengers https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/ff/0d/04/ff0d046c31596dd8e68371c5bf22f966.jpg Edited October 1, 2016 by GeeBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
