Hippo Bus is afloat!...in the Specialz section of Dave's Card Creations.
Combining aspects of all three real Hippo Buses, I ended up with this small scale (about 1/72?), one-sheet model
...and its now part of the KoolWheelz collection!
You can find it in the Specialz section of my website. [

For those of you who don't know what the Hippo Bus is...
Heres a video that gives you a complete explanationl:

Originally this was a Toronto based Tour company
that commissioned me (years ago) to repaint two of their amphibious buses.
I eventually painted the third bus and did all the murals and window decoration
for their downtown Toronto offices.
Unfortunately the company had some problems operating in Toronto
and had to move their operation to Victoria (British Columbia)
so I have since had no connections with them.
(I do know the owner personally, and he still lives in Toronto)
The three Hippo Buses are Happy, Harry and Henrietta
and look almost all the same,
with only minor paint differences and slightly different body styles.
