Repstock Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 I'm working with a caster who has a pressure pot large enough for this project. It's 1/25 scale, hope it works out.
BaBaBooey Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Dont let it drop below 50. Very cool and something different.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Very cool! Is there any chance that your Ford W series cabover cab will be available in resin?

I have it set up for tachographs in place of the main instruments.

Years ago I went down there and took hundreds of photos. Since I live in Columbus (Ohio), that's the specific setup I'm making.
mikemodeler Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 That is going to be huge, in many ways! Nice work Tom!

I like old square cabovers and yours looks great!

Bucky Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 That bus is something I'd be interested in, way down here in Tennessee!!!
vincen47 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Looks like a great project. There’s a lot of interest in the fishbowl buses. I’d be interested in adding one to my stash.
Warren D Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Count me in, too! Would love a Silver Eagle Model 05......

DC Transit used them in the 1960 s. I have a 1/43 Dinky DC Transit bus and PMC Street car in my collection. I would sell off a few to get a fishbowl in 1/25 scale.

The November meeting for the Buckeye Scala Auto Club will be tomorrow night at the Hobby land store in the Northland Plaza. Meting starts at 7:00 pm. I think they would be interested in seeing the bus prototype you have built.

I'll have the bus parts at the Motor City NNL 15 this Sunday. I'll be hanging out at the Missing Link table.
