One Down One to Go

Sorry Rhino , I forgot to answer your question .
Shark species here on the south Jersey coast and deep water depend a lot on the Gulf Stream .
Traditionally , Blue , Mako , Thresher and Tigers are deeper water sharks here .
When the Gulf Stream is closer to the coast you can get all of the above , but Browns , Bulls , and Sand sharks are usually in the Surf and back bays .
Great Whites are just about anywhere , any time .

Ok , back to modeling ...........
I'm adding this Roden Greyhound bus to the dio , which will be abandoned at a garage across from the diner .
This is a stinker kit , miss numbered parts on the wrong sprues .
All the bus outer shell parts are butt joined , no location pins or holes .
Where I do find location holes for parts , they all have to be drilled out cuz they are too small and too shallow .
Well this is where I'm at now , not to shabby but I don't like to fight builds to this extent .



















 
Cool! I have this kit as I wanted to build it as a pristine bus. Many years ago I went on a bus trip with my mom (I was like 4 years old and this kit made me think of that.
 
Still lots of weathering to do .
Rhino , I build on two foot square bases so basically the modules can be put together for an unlimited area .
Ian , thanks man !!!
Heavens Eagle good luck man , test fit everything three times and play chess with the build , think three or four moves ahead , cuz the kit can eat you up !!! It had me straight up fear dumping in my jeans quite a few times .

Yeah, I had already pretty much figured that out. Roden kits are notorious for being a pain to build. Anymore I pretty much get a full picture of the overall build and revise that to what I think will work better. (Usually it is a LOT better) I have it for later if nothing else.
