Hello all,

I have completed my build up of the Revell of Germany London Bus. This is definitely a time consuming kit and not for the faint of heart. All-in-all it was a fun build bit it took me 6 1/2 months to complete and I am glad it is over. The whole thing is painted with acrylic paint. The body is cleared with Krylon Gloss clear. I detailed the engine with some parts from Pro-tech. I also made my own umbrellas, breifcase, sling shot, and magazines for the interior. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks,
Paul

Very nice. I like it a lot. But it begs the question - what happened to all the passengers? Was there a bomb threat? Accident? Struck by alien people-snatchers?

Beautifully done model. Really makes me miss London of the late '60s-early '70s. Even the looks-like washed-out morning sunshine is perfect. :D

I know I've already left a comment on youtube, but this really is a stunning build Paul, your attention to detail is amazing, great to see some photos of it, I'm sure it's even more impressive in the flesh.

You can definitely tell you have some English blood in you mate ?.

I was thinking the same thing.

The bus is beautiful... but appears abandon.
