Well Wife and girlfriend ( didn't know I had one) excepted, here is a bit more.
The bus body was from 30 thou plastic card and built up in sections and added to the chassis. The top deck floor was made so that it can be removed for painting the interior, at this stage I was still pondering which version to make, it turned out I opted for the one with boarded up windows and painted in British Army green, whatever colour that may be? Research is a little vague; perhaps the one from the London Transport Museum touring Belgium may be a good start.
The floor for the driver’s position is layers of 80 thou card and the bonnet and rear of bonnet are 30 thou card. The bonnet was formed by heating some plastic card up while it was attached to a former, once cool it retains the shape of the wooden former, it took a couple of goes to get it looking ok.
The last picture shows the one that went wrong. It never seems to happen in magazine articles.
