This is the bus model i will start with,it just needs the "Steven" colours of orange and yellow with white wall tyres.
Behind is the octypus trailer i am half way through constructing.

Ive started to paint the bus and white wall my own tyres from memory the bus was done matt coats ,this will probably need a couple of more coats for cover and is not too dificult as the windows were painted as well,the tyres are very fiddly.
