Model Bus Photos

[greeny253]

So I thought it a good idea to start a thread for people who want to share photos of their models.

EDIT: Bighat reminds me of what should have been pretty obvious. Edited to include scale and who made it

Here are mine. Sorry about the naff quality but they were done on my mobile:


Leyland Titan T1. 1:76 Scale by EFE (Exclusive First Editions)


Stagecoach in London, Spirit of London 18500. 1:76 Scale (Limited Edition) by Creative Master Northcord Limited


Stagecoach in London 23029. 1:76 Scale (Limited Edition) by Creative Master Northcord Limited


Arriva London MA69. 1:76 Scale (Limited Edition) by Creative Master Northcord Limited

Would it not be helpful if when referring to a model, or posting a picture, the scale and make is given?

I too also have T1 and 18500. However, i do have a fantastic model of RM1. Will try and get a pic done of it, though be prepared, it's still in its box ;D

I too have T1 but in a rather poor state (Tyres, box and wingmirrors missing) but ive had it for ages lol also got a model of 17001 which im hoping to redo as 17300 in its present state (Think there the same)

But isn't 17001 built to 13'11" height and 17224 to 14'5" height?

I know it's only 2mm difference, but hey ho!

T1 was the first one I got, then the two bendies and finally 18500 was a gift. Haven't seen anything particular I'm after at the moment.

I have loads of the things I bought between 1999 and 2002, but a lot are in terrible condition with missing boxes . I also have CMN's 12 Citaro and some box sets. Will get some pix done .

Some of my London models include; T1 (165), M1 (16), W937 ULL (25), VLW80 (141), various Golden Jubilee buses and the Metrobus box set.

Guys, for those that dont know. when taking pics up close to things, put the camera on 'Macro' or 'Super macro'. This helps the camera focus at close range and get a better pic. Dont want to sound bossy lol

Sorry for taking up so much room, but i have a lot of models. In fact, i had to group them together so i didn't have too many Apologies for the poor quality, took them all on my phone

First, a wide range;



L to R - Docklands Minibus 426 on the 106, RM's on the 76 and 15, SRT on the 24, Eastern National Merc 709D, Leyland National (dual door) on a Bristol local route (before First). What you can't see if the 934 on the 151 (Thamesway) and the Western National Merc 709D ;D The 2 Stagecoach vehicles are a Van Hool Coach and ECW Olympian which were part of a box set



Grey Green Fleetline on route 298



Two DMS's, one on the 239 to Waterloo, the other on the 66



Green RT on the 339 to Warley and a First 709D on one of the W routes in North London. One for you next Insert



TPL259 on the 82, TPL 927 i believe on the 248 (can never remember which one it is ;D) and Pointer Dart on the 191 (N97**EHJ batch now with First Essex)



Kentish Bus RML on the 19, with branding



Stagecoach Citaro 23059 on the 25

Impressive collection, very nice - and a "tidy" bedroom to boot ;D

[john]

Well, my brother and sister-in-law are currently in that room until they move out......again!! Hence the mess ;D My ACTUAL room is generally smaller at the moment, but means it looks messier haha
