Bus modification
« on: April 02, 2018, 21:41:07 »
I am a schoolbusdriver/handyman in a school.
Yesterday I found a bus in the trash.
He isn't complete, but I want to buy the missing items.
Also I am modding him to look a bit like my bus :)


This is the bus I'm driving



I found him like this in the trash




Removing the prints


Disassemblied and fresh out of the dishwasher


Prepared the new decals


How it looks at the moment.


Now I am waiting for the missing items (door, rooftops, tyre, mirrors, ...) also the other vinyl colors.

Great project! When it's done take a picture of it next to the big one and put it in the Things in little thread: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=14523

An excellent piece of custom work.  I look forward to seeing the end result.

A great find! (Tahra had some success with trash PM recently!) And the transformation is amazing! Do you need the mirrors? I think I have some spares.
