A filler episode. Having exams lately and just no time to gather more shit to fill this space, so I found some photos that I have taken in the past weeks to post here.

Dennis Dart buses are withdrawing soon and service 42 is the last service you can see them regularly.


Going green even with bus models! MFBM Eco Hybrid at Hortpark.


Mirror repair for Hafiz owned Volvo Olympian SBS colors. The SBS Transit colors unit is the model that I modified earlier to a sweepback mirror.

March is going to be exciting with a bus model event coming up soon. Stay tuned here for updates!

New Mirrors for Bus Models

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

With the holiday projects over (either completed, on the way or not touched at all), school have already started and those have to go away for a while! Some small handicraft can still be done, and the installation of new mirrors on two of the models which had their original ones wrecked (by me of course) is underway!

The mirrors for the SBST Volvo Olympian is done. Some pictures of the work.

The original idea for the mirror to be hanging forward of the bus.

But the frame will ‘block’ the mirror and it was not too feasible to do so, then the mirror is modified…

and twisted backwards, hence…

the unique style of some real life double deckers’ mirror is shown! The mirror is now closer to the driver’s view and easier for adjustment as well.
