Here comes the Knight Bus!
In a fit of whimsy I started a triple decker bus recolor just to see if I could, and here's the result.
Strictly speaking it isn't accurate for the Harry Potter books (supposedly a front entrance type), or the Prisoner of Azkaban movie (built from AEC Regent III RT buses). The book illustrators aren't consistent either, sometimes it looks like an AEC Routemaster and other times a generic Daimler/Guy/Leyland exposed radiator half-cab bus. I'd say my Daimler CVG5/A version is an equally legitimate interpretation.
Anyway, Jim Kay did some Knight Bus illustrations that had left and right front quarter views so that's what inspired this recolor - book version with advertisements, movie version without. Scale is 1:76 this time as I could barely fit this monster into an A4 page!
Hopefully this'll be beneath the notice of the Harry Potter merchandising empire, since it's Fan Art.
As usual this will be available pending moderator approval.
