This i want for my next build.

Hi Wyatt, The battery eliminator is a power supply that replaces the 3 AAA batteries, supplies the voltage and current required so that you don't need to keep buying batteries. Mine was for the Delorean build but didn't give enough power to handle the mods but the Routemaster doesn't need as much power. Also the manufacturing and design of partworks would be great to be involved in or even just to see the process from beginning to end. Attached is a video of the engine noise. 20200426_101656.mp4

Hi Wyatt, More pictures as requested, i have also included some pages from the mag's that show the build detail. This Bus for me is easy to assemble and is also very detailed. The engine, interior and exterior look superb and very authentic. The roof is not what i expected as i am sure the bus should have had some beading strips but i may be wrong. As for the assembly the challenge for me was the wiring as with all builds it is fiddly and Hachette did get some of it wrong and sent out extension leads to correct their error. Some builders have made their own mods as i have with the headlights. Power is either 3 aaa batteries or a battery eliminator like mine which works perfectly. Any discolouration you see is just external lighting, the paintwork is uniform and looks immaculate. Touch up paint has been added to screws as i am fussy. This build is extremely enjoyable and it will be a stunning model when completed. Tools supplied or better than other builds but the tweezers are not the best so i would suggest to buy others. All the figures came with the build and a driver and conductor will be supplied later as part of the subscription.

The Harry Potter Knightbus would be awesome. I have read that the Hogwarts express may come to the market but haven't heard anything for a couple of months but you never know!

As requested more pics.

I am currently building the Routemaster and have only 20 issues left to complete. The bus is a beautiful model and very heavy. All working lights, bell, horn and engine noise. Thanks!
