    While I've finally settled for the kit labels I did think about getting others made.  What I'd really like to do is get something for the back panel between the indicator lights and also either side of the rear destination display.  The two corner ads at the front are none too inspiring either for that matter and something along the lines of the 'Union Jack' ones on the Revell 1:24 kit might look good.  I don't use facebook but I know a place that can probably do them.  I get stickers for my (full size) car made by them, but I haven't been able to find a picture of a rear advertisement that I like.  I can do my own artwork.  Do you have any suggestions?  I'd like something familiar; 'British Airways' for instance.

    to be honest i don't really know i didn't put any advertisement stickers on my bus inside or out as i wanted mine to reflect the actual restored WLT857 bus as it is now see pics my best advise just google routemaster bus advertising

    Hello,

    there's still something going on. I don't want to leave it that empty.

    I don't like the kit ads. I don't know if that existed but I drive a Royal Enfield and want to run the bus with this as an advertisement.

    The model of my Enni is already in front of my Routemaster 😉

    there is a guy on facebook who makes the advertising stickers he will print up whatever you want and it's not expensive i read about it on this forum a bit back

    Thank you.  I've changed the main photos above for the original images and added the magazine and umbrella.

    The magazine also serves to hide the back of the stair light which shone brightly over the back seat!

    If I were to build it again I'd probably dim the brightness of the off-side parking light and add an LED in the nearside one.  I was also wondering if it'd be feasible to replace the front destination blind with parts from the rear one.  The rolling blind is a neat trick but the lighting is very disappointing.

    the magazine over the stairwell is a clever idea i covered mine with paint matching colour of stairwell to block light bleed from the led

    Firstly, I hope everybody has a great Xmas when it arrives.

    I know Royal Mail have timed their strikes to cause disruption but they clearly are making no effort to catch up either.

    According to Track&Trace Agora despatched my item to Royal Mail a week ago but the tracking hasn’t changed at all, it still says Royal Mail are waiting to receive it, they must have it but are just doing nothing with it,  I was hoping to have the next pack in time to work on during the week between Christmas and New Year but I suspect there will not be much chance of that.

    I really do not see how they think they will get any sympathy from the public causing this much disruption, I just hope they don’t keep losing items, I’ve now been waiting 3 weeks for an item from a different company and they have resent the item but now both have gone missing. I hope they don’t lose any Agora items.

    Thank you Agora for trying to get these packs out for Christmas. I wonder if it’s time to try a different courier as Royal Mail are so slow and ineffective.

    they have used DPD before so no reason they can't switch till royal mail sorts itself out

    Not that I plan to build either but I have this picture of Agoras classic  bus next to the Eiffel Tower being offered by IXO. I realize one is London and the other Paris but both are icons.🙂

    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

    Custom Perspex Case for Your Bus

    Great indeed, but you need to glue (a special one that's perfectly transparent) the panels properly and keep everything perfectly square.

    It sounds easy but it needs to be done very carefully. 

    I do the same but with glass panels from any DIY store (they cut whatever sizes you want). Glass is much stronger, doesn't scratch and lasts forever. I think it's cheaper too. 

    the perspex is very good quality and lends itself well to display cases and yes i have the special acrylic glue the welds the two faces together and right angle clamping guides

    Hi, I'm quite new here but I'd like to know if any part can be ordered.

    I'll start the Miura in a few months and I'd like to expose it in some kind of diorama with a spare engine, wheels, etc... 

     

    Is there a price list for instance? I guess a wheel comes cheaper than the metal body..? 

    To be honest im not sure if agora do that ... if you break a part i think it's a £25 fee for a replacement if you receive a damaged part or a missing part i think they replace for free but you would have to contact customer service and ask

    Guess another new model!

    Natürlich kann ich den Übersetzer benutzen, aber alle anderen können das auch...

    Oder haben Sie Englisch sprechende Menschen ein Recht auf Ihre Sprache?

    Ist das Schreiben auf Englisch hier im Forum eine Regel?

    In any case, I have set up my computer in such a way that every page is displayed in my language, i.e. German.

    google translate is easy to use i just copied and pasted your words easy peasy also it's somewhat rude to expect everyone regardless of their native language to speak English you should feel free to express your thoughts in German 

    google translate ist einfach zu bedienen ich habe gerade deine
worte kopiert und eingefügt kinderleicht auch ist es etwas
unhöflich zu erwarten, dass jeder unabhängig von seiner
muttersprache englisch spricht du solltest dich frei fühlen deine
gedanken auf deutsch auszudrücken
