Bedford OB Bus

I would have preferred less putty and fill on the roof.
I would prefer a paper roof with seams and all...

but its still pretty amazing
and a cool subject for a model
and the view port in the roof is a great idea

and okay, I'll forgive you for the non paper elements.
Top marks!

Coming along nicely. Just saw some photos in "Commercial Heritage" magazine of a similar bus on an Albion chassis, but looked like same coachbuilder for the body. Will say you're doing a great job of capturing the body lines.

Excellent result. Well done Mushy.

I was going to ask for details on how you achieved the double curvatures at the back of the roof, but I gather Dave has sussed ya. Putty just hadn't occurred to me ... naughty, but it's done the job, eh? Papier Mache would have been more in keeping, but difficult to mold in place. What do the rear corners look like from inside?

Similar age and style, but much simpler ...

John M , icould say the inside of the corners look realy good but i,m afraid that would be a white lie, and to be honest i,m glad no one can see them.
