Missed that. I thought it was the ‘Save £20’ line, as the saving is even bigger

That was the one that I spotted first.

Not a picture but a bit of advertising for the new 'Rip you off for £1200 build a Routemaster' weekly publication


Made of durable materials and including working elements such as headlights, your model is the ultimate celebration of a classic design. Careful attention to detail has been paid to ensure your model is as close as possible to an exact replica of the original 1966 Routemaster RM 857, plus no glue is needed and parts are pre-painted making it easy-to-build, even if you have no modelling expertise.

I cannot get the phrase to stand out so have put spaces each side!!



To me it is a bit of a dogs breakfast of advertising. I was taught to understand a replica was an exact copy



If it is as close as possible it cannot be EXACT!!



mind you it does look like a nice model. over 2 foot long!! you could almost motorise it and ride on it

Nice work. Who the fk would screw on those plates, then stand back and think what a great job.

I think I'm overthinking this. I thought this was because the door centre line didn't meet with the a gap between floor boards or centered on a board. Somewhat missed the blindingly obvious!

Someone who doesn't care about the job they are doing, as long as they get paid.

Why someone would pay them is another question.

Not the first time that tyre has been kerbed. It's ripped just above the Thumbsnap logo.

I saw a van a few weeks ago that was held about 10cm off the ground by the tyres being pressed up against the kerb. I don't think you could do that if you tried.

Posted this in the plates thread in GG, but thought it might as well go in here as well courtesy of the wonky affixed plate.

And the slats in the nearside Grille
And the odd Wing Mirrors Door Mirrors
And the front Arch Trim hanging off.

And the nsf bonnet shut-line.
And the fog light below it.
