AEC ROUTEMASTER RLM double-decker bus

Excellent build and nice weathering. Infact, I like the fact that you choose light weathering. The company prides themselves in keeping the busses clean and in good working order.

That said... now you need some people inside.

I am sorry to disappoint you Jairus, but I won´t let no people get in this bus. I am not into painting figures and this would be a tough job for me. And I also won´t keep the bus as clean anymore. Everything you said is true. But I have done too many wrongdoings to the paint job and I have to mask it somehow.

A model can be painted either to reflect the real thing as truly as possible... in this case clean and shiny. Or to overdo some things a bit to get a look of a.....

the model. These are two different things. And I am kinda forced to go the latter way.

I have to add a few details like the mud flaps, the windshield wiper and improve the bonnet alignment. And then it´ll be complete, I think.

Someone said it looks like a tough kit to build. It´s not. All the troubles I got into were caused by the lack of my model building skills.

To Volvoman: I very much like your build. I just wasn´t able to keep it as clean as you were. I wish I could take pictures of my bus in British enviroment. But there´s nothing like that around here. I have to find some big poster of Big Ben or something like that.
