i thought maybe that would be the way still a massive task what paint did you use ? it's a perfect match

that looks phenomenal i can't understand why they didn't supply strips like that for the roof it is a million times better how did you hold all the panels in place did you glue them ?

only cost me £57.95

So I thought I would share my bus display case I made unfortunately as you can see in the attached pictures it didn't quite go as I had hoped you can see there is a glue residue on the edges that I joined this was because I used masking tape to hold together the 2 pieces I was gluing on the outside of the join unfortunately I hadn't realised that the glue would wick through the join and underneath the tape I'm going to try and buff the residue off with foam polishing pads and t cut if that doesn't work I will re make the case except I will use a jig to hold the 2 pieces of perspex at a 90 deg angle without touching the joined edge but will wait and see if I can buff glue Marks out however it was a good practice run and I'm happy how the case fits and looks and if I have to re do it I know it will be perfect if anyone wants to know where I bought my 5mm pre cut perspex let me know happy to share

wow £20 a month that's a 20% increase and they just slip it in quietly with no mention

you should've videoed your build that would've been fascinating to watch

WOW what a difference that makes you would think you were looking at the real bus i take my hat off to you joel the work you have put in to your bus is nothing short of amazing

does anyone know why the new corvette stingray model is £225 more expensive than the others in agoras collection ? its usually £54.99 plus 11x £99.99 but this new one is £59.99 plus 11x £119.99 are all the others going to increase now or is this just a one off and if so why ?

I think agoras philosophy is to keep each model in production at least as long as people are buying anyway .. i fancy doing the corvette but im going to wait till it's at least 6mths into release so im not waiting on packs as there were a lot of holdups on the routemaster which was very frustrating

Wow your attention to detail is astounding that looks so much better than screws im looking forward to how you tackle the roof

Got the porche 917KH The lamborghini P400 now a Ferrari another super car what about those uninterested in super cars

awesome vid bri i love the little card with switch numbers and the detail on the case im guessing you have a lazer cutter ( totally jealous lol ) and the stickers on magnetic strip is genius

the stingray will be nice and the DB5 is a possibility as they already have the model deagostini did it and im sure fanhome were toying with the idea of the 66 batmobile so don't give up hope

i found a guy on ebay really good price for custom cut perspex sheets look forward to video and totally agree with the 66 batmobile and 007 DB5 but looks like were getting another ferrari and a 63 corvette stingray and an old mercedes race car

ixos version only £850 for full kit thats nearly £300 cheaper than agoras

that looks awesome bri have you made your own perspex case too ? ive bought ready cut sheets to make my own im just waiting for corner brackets to arrive (got the exact same ones as you lol ) you got to post a vid of buttons working etc

im just going off the prices of models on 12mth presumably 24mth is more and full kit cheaper

Standard price for their models £54.99 plus 11 x 99.99 = £1154.88

i spotted that but didn't think agora would be happy to have an advertisement up for another company who is selling the same model for £200 less

if you look on ixo website they do the 917k and also the mercedes benz which agora have just shown a cropped pic of the front of and ixo sell the full kit 1:8 scale for 990 euros or £850 no waiting around for 12mths and i agree tripple that mercedes 300 sl gullwing would definitely be on my list

i came across this scale model of a driver for the 917 model 1:8 scale on IXO models website not bad price at £24.99 thought i would share it here if anyone is interested link below https://www.ixocollections.com/en/porsche-917kh/149-collector-figurine.html

What about the corvette mako shark ?

love the E Type but for me it has to be the hard top in british racing green not keen on the red one apparently agora are releasing a new model shortly by all accounts its gonna be a 1963 corvette stingray which would be sweet

Very neatly done taffy

I thought i would share this with everyone ive been looking at ways of creating a custom case for my bus out of perspex as some ready made are very expensive and are either 5 pieces you fit together of blow molded in one piece even more expensive (£300 plus) anyhow i did some searching and i found a guy on ebay who will custom cut clear 5mm perspex sheets and his price is very good i measured up my bus and came up with my dimensions of L 73cm x W 38cm x D 24cm that's so it will fit my particular spot that i have my bus you might want yours a tad bigger but that's the beauty this guy will cut to your dimensions the price for mine is : Costs as follows in display quality 5mm clear acrylic 73cm x 38cm x 2 @ £22.50 each 73cm x 24cm x 1 @£14.50 each 38cm x 24cm x 2 @ £7.50 each Delivery @ £5.49 to Uk mainland total £79.99 which i think is very good here's a link to his ebay page: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155168479067?hash=item2420c3175b:g:MSwAAOSwMHphCz8K
