Buses

I had intended to post about my latest scenario, but alas the task has proven too daunting a one due to factors outside my control. Instead I've reverted to yet another 'easy' option of showing two buses that I purchased earlier in the year, both  from Poundlandworld and both, strangely enough, bought on the same day but at different branches.

Although the photographs may not show it off in a good light (courtesy of that useless photographer again), it is the better of the two vehicles.
It is a very good match scale-wise to Sid, as can been seen (just about), it's left-hand drive and has a good amount of detail on the inside.
Although I haven't tried to take it apart I'd imagine it would be fairly easy and would enable some perspex windows to be glued to the inside. None of the sides (even the windscreen) are particularly curved so I don't think it would be that difficult.

The second bus is nothing more than a shell with 'sticker windows'' and little else in the way of detail.
It may look pretty good in the photographs but in reality is a bit naff.
Nevertheless it is another vehicle and very suitable for a background role.

I have thought of removing the various window stickers and then carving the 'windows' out to leave a plastic shell that could be 'done up' as a wreck, but like anything to do with my growing selection of vehicles, that idea will be shelved  for the present.

Here's a final shot of the two buses beside each other for comparison.

I've also posted the third post relating my new Gladiator project, which you can find here  and I'd like to say a big thank you for your patience as I slowly return to blogging and commenting on other blogs.
