This is really excellent work Syd and I hope your eyes quickly recover.

i have not been able to do anything to the bus for a while until this weekend when i have been able to put the roof on and a couple of doors i cannot spend long at the modeling desk just yet my eyes are not yet healed properly but they getting there, the join in the long side has opened up again so i will have to mask that side and repaint it after i have filled it again,
also i have marred the other side a little which i might have to repaint but i am hoping i can just lightly sand it and re-polish, hoping to do some more during the week here is some pics of the build so far

Excellent stuff Syd!

And very pleased to hear that your eyesight is recovering, I hope the improvement continues

Cool

Paaaaarrrrrtyyyyyy Nice work

Tie-die T-shirt anyone?

Wow, now that is different! Hopefully the touch up work won't be too taxing and you can finish the model to your satisfaction. Looks great so far

I love it, surfs up, time to party.

sorry i have been so long but i have been at the modeling desk again and i have tided up the sides repainted the long side, and i have finished the model now, in hindsight i could have done one or two things differently but as i said at the beginning this is the first time i have tried to alter a kit to make it into something else and i have enjoyed doing it, i thank you for looking in on this project and it will not be the last, i am going back to my first love for my next build which is motorcycles, i don`t know which one yet i will have to look through my stash but i will post the build anyway here is some photos of the finished model and some photos of a couple of my motorcycle models once again i thank you for looking in and also for your comments

Excellent cut, lengthen & shut job! Very smart build all round

A very cool looking bus. Thanks for showing us, and nice bikes too.
