    cliff richard drove a routemaster to France in the film Summer Holiday can't remember if he took it round the Eiffel tower or not but i wouldn't be surprised lol

    Just to be correct, it was an AEC Regent RT, not a Routemaster.

    And that is that. My bus is all finished. My hands are painful, my eyes are screw shaped, and I never want to see another piece of red anything for a long time lol. Overall, a fantastic model, very enjoyable to build (even though a few moments caused anguish and swearing) and I’m very pleased I went ahead and did it. Display case arriving soon so it will be protected. One change I will do if there is a next time, clean all the window interiors before they are unreachable lol. And now to carry on with my 1/200 Trumpeter Titanic. Peace out everyone ✌️

    Problem

    I’ve only got the 3 screws on the near side piece I’m so far. The parts just won’t budge. Close to getting a rubber mallet at this stage. Or just never looking at the bus from the rear end lol.

    I did file the front blind 80H on the sides to enable it to fit better.  As for expose plastic, the corner cover panels should abut to 80H so there should not be any exposed black plastic. 

    Awesome thanks Taffy. Did the screw holes still line up correctly? On mine it only seems to be the top that doesn’t fit properly.

    hmmm beginning to think its oversized parts

    Yeah does seem to be. I’d be happy to sand the sides but then there’s the problem of paint matching and possibly messing up screw holes matching up etc.

    I’ve managed to do some of the stages that I don’t think will impact anything I need to do to pack 9 when I receive the correct bits. Near side framing and windows all installed and offside front frame done. Offside rear and back framing is ready to go when I have had pack 9 sorted.

    i found this video on building your own display case thought it might be of interest

     

    That’s a great video. I have been looking at acrylic sheets to make my own. Also been talking with someone about 2 hours away that can make customs cases. Will see what he comes back with price wise compared to doing it myself.

    I use aquariums for many 1/8 and 1/12 scale builds.  It can be placed over the model or a piece of clear lexan placed on top. I can be very thrifty . 

    Wow I’ve never thought of that! That’s a great idea. Might look into this.
