It looks the part with the passengers aboard. The large scale also helps make it so much more realistic, the figures are pretty good as well in style and pose.

Hi all here's today's bit, first non perfect fitting bit (where the bit beneath the bonnet just won't stay glued I think I will just have to take it off and shave some off the front chassis) it's still an amazingly engineered build.

Hi all here is the next update, all the windows on this have a black rubber surround and it was taking me ages to do them then I had an epiphany they take less than a minuet each now, take a magic marker put on the edge and draw round

Hi Kpnuts.

I have increased the size of your text as it was rather small  (  2 point  )

I like your build,  It's coming out superb.  Well done   :-))

Hi all, well the bus is done
















Here are the cars for it (I've realised I didn't put the lotus in it) I think it's looking quite busy.

I love the weathering and the colour of the wheels, it all works so well and the street filth is just right  :-)) A true opus of your work Ken.

Hi all next update, started the London taxi, I must say I'm a bit disappointed  (not the kit it's good enough) it's just I could have knocked it out in a day easily, it is a VERY simple kit, yes it looks like a London taxi but maybe if it had a full engine or maybe the door handles were separate parts, I don't know what they could have done but it really is a simple kit.The kit is rated skill level 3 personally I think it should be level 1.

Hi all well the taxi is finished (definitely not skill level 3 as the instructions suggest) I could easily done it in a day.




I did some more to the roller



Also started a paper model of a classic London Police box (never done a paper model before and it's a strughle)

Morning Ken,

Would you like to keep your builds under separate thread titles. ?   This would make them easier to find for interested parties 
I can relocate them if you like.

Cheers

Hi all here is the next update, I've got to say this is THE very first kit I've ever built with no decals, not even for the dash a kit with a few disappointments the colours have codes at the start of the instructions but that is the only mention of them so apart from the box art there is no mention of what colour anything should be. Anyway here is where I am now.

Hi all well the roller is finished, going to shelve this dio for a while as I'm starting to just chuck them together just to finish them and I'm not giving it my best so will come back to it when I feel more like doing it justice





Here is everything I have for the dio so far.
