Re: All aboard..
 

I've been waiting to see something like this. I was looking at the tamiya buses but did not like the scale of them and could not find a lot of info on them. Anyway keep up the awesome work silvio. This will be a killer build when your done and he gets it back to finish off the details.

Re: All aboard..

Sonoran..I don't know where to find aluminum in that type of design...Ive seen it in thinner ribbing thats been used on the trailers...The only thing i came up with is just putting thin strips of half round styrene and then aluminum color paint...any different ideas would be helpful thanks guy's:cool:
