  1. In preparation for this build is there any info on what lights up or physically works in the cabin of the DB5. I'm thinking of side lights and brake lights or rear lights and indicators, or what alternatively works from the remote.

    This is in preparation of any mods that I might need to do......or does anybody have any planned

  2. I cut the polycarbonate out of 6mm with edges like a jigsaw so they all interlock then used a chemical to fuse all the joints on the cover. Then used flight case handles to lift off. I also routed in Routemaster.  The one i made for the Bismarck takes 2 people to lift off and its heavy. I made it before the ship and got the size wrong so it was easier to cut down the ship stand. 

    I will make a video showing the finished bus when I've done my own adverts. I stick them to 0.4 magnetic sheet in order to change them when i fancy.

    Loved making this model hope agora either pick up the 66 batmobile or bond db5

  3. Built the plinth out of mdf, cover polycarbonate 

    Modified the wiring to make the front indicators flash using 0.4 led and drilling a hole in the indicator likwise with the bulk head light. Switches bought from ebay, and road strangely made from material that goes into thermal lances for steel making. Oh and passengers from the hachette website at the beginning of this project20221121_102337.thumb.jpg.2647c7970c9fc73922093648b4d37227.jpg

  4. As i pay my last instalment and wait for my final pack of parts to arrive of the big red bus, I'd like to thank all my fellow modellers who have helped through this build....you know who you are, together with Agora who have assisted when a problem had occurred 

    Thanks you guys

    Now if we can just have the 66 batmobile i can die happy

  5. During pack 11 fitted the rear of the bus and decided to check all the lights still worked. There are 2 spots of light bleed where rhe near side indicators and brake lights are inside the area where the waste ticket receptacle is 

    Easily eradicated with black electrians tape inside the sandwich of parts.

  6. I would guess the cab roof isn't  seated correctly if the cogs aren't engaging with each other. I think its one of those items you won't  be using too much so pick your destination now before it all gets screwed together
