The bus has its decals now! I made them using MS paint, then sealed them w acrylic clear.

Nice ! Looks like a reasonably detailed kit

the wheel details look fantastic ! looking forward to more updates!

Nice work so far ! Always wondered what the strainer was for on our local trucks..makes sense now

All part of the hobby! I tend to nit pick everything, then try to fix the issue causing more problems...lesson learned move on !

Haha thats exactly what my wife suggested! Another one would go faster, maybe down the road I'll tackle a short bus.

Love your chassis details! Very nicely done

Thank you! I've just ordered another sheet of rivets from micro- mark to finish the roof. I found a few older photos of HSD buses, and noticed I have a few details wrong. Can't win them all lol

Thanks, I could weather the finish down after everything is done..but this bus stays clean. My late father in law always kept his clean I've heard from those that worked closest to him

Excellent work

Stunning work ! The drape on the tarp w the cords going thru is perfectly done

Outstanding work

Thanks ! Its finally in paint ! I removed the tape and masking paper off immediately after painting to avoid a tape line. I have some touch ups around the windows, but happy w it Close up of the roof emergency hatch Tonite the Archer rivets will be applied to the roof

This truck is a serious worker ! Love the heavy duty trucks That winch deck is gorgeous

Nice!!!!

Finally happy enough with the roof work to seal the filler. I was in a hurry to coat the roof in gray primer, then realized I'd forgotten the Emergency exits!!! Theres a few more parts to add, but the mounting flange is glued down. We had plans to attend the schools art show for our daughter, she was really proud of this owl! To be fair shes 6 lol Thanks for following along

Very nice

Looks good! We own a 2003 Mach 1 in Azure blue,eventually I'll build a replica of it

Fantastic theme build Looking forward to your progress

Cant wait for updates , farm vehicles could be bashed from anything useful around

Fantastic work! Your dealing w the typical kit issues like a expert builder w years of rig kits under your belt. The metal finishes and gloss paint is jaw dropping, so clean w variety to the materials Looking forward to more updates

Thanks Dan..it definitely will need block work. I'd already done one overall coat in the photos, and found a few low areas needing more filler. I wish I was skilled enough to avoid the ridges between the sections of filler, but I have that doing drywall too My biggest hurdle now is locating Duplicolor primer to cover the filler once its ready. I don't trust rustoleum primer under tamiya paints.

Excellent information on kitbashing to achieve fire apparatus! Really admire the details on the hose beds and pump panels

Excellent work

Fantastic details right down to the Garand!
