Does it come with little bits of gum to stick under the seats?

Now where can you get 1/24th figures of disinterested teenager, texting and listening to music players?

Al, at last you'll be able to use your 'detail brush' again...

...come on Jim - you don't think I'd have bought the bus before finding a source for the seated passengers do you?! :ha:

These are from the Preiser range of G-Scale/Gauge (garden) model railway figures - which varies between 1/24 and 1/30 depending where you shop. Preiser have an incredible range of figures but at about £24 for 3 figures, I went for the cheaper chinese knock-offs (12 seated passengers and a driver on order now!)

Cheers

Touché Al.

You are are going to have a lot of fun with this kit.

Have you got a linky for the chinese ones?

Those pictured ones look way too animated for disinterested teenagers :ha:

Cheers

It's sad that many would have no intention of adding passengers to their bus, I applaud your efforts.

I just did a search for 'G Gauge figures' or 'G scale figures'.

Hope that helps

I must admit the build had stalled but now some locals have arrived and I'm under pressure from them to get on with the build (and to give them a little colour while I'm at it!)...

Is it true that all the windows are seperate and all need gluing in one by one ?

Somebody has asked me to build one of these but if the windows 'are' all seperate i'll give it a miss :roll:
