Antsy for the Routemaster debut!!

[wyatt]

I've been hoping for a long time for the Routemaster bus to be available on this side of the pond and Agora has made it happen. I'm really chuffed about it! (to use a UK phrase) An excellent decision to offer 12 or 24 month subscriptions. 24 months is just too long. 

So, anybody else looking forward to this one?

I hope that any changes/mods are good for everyone and its a pity Agora don't provide a magazine with all the historical content that Hachette published.

I do hope they include the magazines. After  all, these are 'Subscriptions'. A downloadable PDF is a good alternative, but I'm old school, I like to hold a magazine/book in my hands versus a Kindle or the like.

I am more than happy that Ago has decided to publish the 1:12 Routemaster !! 12 month subscription will be perfect. Can't wait to place my order 😀

OK, a question for you Admin. Will the Routemaster webpage be up soon? Just curious, as the title of this post says, I'm a bit antsy! Thanks.

No worries, I guess it was a rhetorical question?

Yes, I am very much looking forward to the Routemaster. It was just too difficult to subscribe and track 130 issues when it was released in the UK a few years ago. There are a few errors, but overall it looks a fantastic model and the sheer size of it makes it the most detailed Routemaster model produced. I will miss the magazines, but I don't know how much of the content was historical information and how much build instructions.

I wonder if there will be any differences to the first release. At the moment they look the same.

Fingers crossed the first parts start shipping next month - three days away! Depending on how deep you want to get into your build I can recommend this book  'Haynes Routemaster Bus Enthusiasts' Manual' by Andrew Morgan. Bought mine at:

Yes indeed. Received my notification this morning. Looking forward to the official build by Dave Say. Should be a treat. OK Dave, get crackin' !

Looking forward to this build for a couple of years in the 80’s In need of work I drove buses from Westbourne Park garage in London. It won’t help me with the build, but I might know where to put dents and weathering.

I am in Australia. I was disappointed to be informed that the Routemaster packs aren't shipping from here in Australia. With the ridiculous waiting time for International shipping, I could be waiting months to receive any of the packs :(

Anyone received pack 1 yet since Thursday’s email?
