Re: odd schoolbus
No problem. If you need more let me know. Schools out at the end of June but I can make arrangements if you need more pics after that.

Re: odd schoolbus
I don't see it mentioned but when it comes time to do the nose of the bus, it is the front of a late 198-'s Chevrolet C60. Not sure if they are over there where you are but those were the normal school buses I rode to school on as a kid.
This is what they were originally. Cab/Chassis model and they just didnt use the cab lol http://www.purplewaveauction.com/i/a...ction/8265.JPG |
Re: odd schoolbus
most of them around the west were IHC's
I have a IHC and a chevy bus back home |
Re: odd schoolbus
Hi.
while I'm drawing the seats. I also did some work on the giraf's and grill. http://imageshack.us/a/img843/2812/woks.jpg sanding down the clay, and drawing some spots. I also added ears and horns to the first one. it still needs some work but it's getting there. http://imageshack.us/a/img843/6031/yug7.jpg the front is started . the fenders are naturaly not done yet, but give's an idea about where it's going. http://imageshack.us/a/img801/1381/ui31.jpg I also think this "animalbus" is a bit larger than the red one just above. and I also think I's a Thomas/chevrolet build or imported in 1986. grtz PetervR |

Re: odd schoolbus
HI.
just got a little further on this build. and I had to give it a nosejob. the gleu wasn't doing what I wanted, so only half one side is finished. a before picture http://imageshack.us/a/img708/4637/3b4a.jpg and an after picture http://imageshack.us/a/img560/3954/lob7.jpg. this should be gooing int the right direction I also made the base for the crocodile, I first took the top view from google earth. ans scaled it to the right dimensions. than I made a drawing across the photo, removed the photo. and I had this left. http://imageshack.us/a/img20/2581/p9iz.jpg that drawing was placed on the roof of the bus. and I made a wire figure on top of it. http://imageshack.us/a/img585/272/0n2l.jpg after putting the puppetclay over and into the wireframe this was the result. http://imageshack.us/a/img547/9356/p9.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img163/3158/5y68.jpg it still need some sanding and detailing of course grtz PetervR |

Re: odd schoolbus
This weekend I received a little box with most parts I ordered
and I started to make it a rolling model. http://imageshack.us/a/img822/691/pw4z.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img692/4854/vz4r.jpg the rims for the backaxle were on back order. so I used a trailerrim to get the tyre on, so I could get the floor level. after checking, double checking, and triple checking. http://imageshack.us/a/img843/3418/ceo4.jpg the rear axle is 2 or 3mm to far to the back. and the body is 3 of 4 mm to low. the axles are not going to be adjusted. the wheelwell is going to be ajusted. and there is going to be 3mm plywood added on top of the floor so the body sits a litte higher grtz PetervR |
Re: odd schoolbus

Re: odd schoolbus
hi
to make it easier to paint. and to make it a little more durable. I've added alu sheets to the outside. now it's glued in place. more detail will be added to the side's first I want to cover the cab in 0.5mm alu sheet. the nose will be covered with 0.5mm plastic. the fenders I don't know jet. alu of plastic. http://imageshack.us/a/img823/3498/exnp.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img515/971/r8ua.jpg and it's not visable in these picture's but the wheelwell is moved 3mm back it also had a little testrun. is worked fine. a bit noisy. but with some grease it will be taken care of. grtz PetervR |
Re: odd schoolbus
the bulldozer isnt dead. I'm adding strips of plastic to the tracks. to have a bit more traction on sand.
this weekend we have a show and there is a skid with sand available. this film was 2 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6PuxyglNB4. we hope to show more running offroad equipment. grtz Peter |
