Hi all this is the largest dio I've attempted so far.
It will have all the British car models in 1/24 I can find, I've been on it a few months now so here is a brief update on what I have so far.
This is somthing like how I see it being.

Here is a rough layout (all in 1/24) it measures just over a metre square.

That is upto date where I'm at now.

This is interesting, the diorama will be huge once it's done! Actually, the London Bus by itself is already huge in this scale. Everything looks really good so far, and I know you do great work so I'm sure this will be a real eye-catcher when it's done.

The passengers add a good touch of action and realism.

I'd ride on that bus. Especially with that girl hiking her skirt.

Hi all here's today's bit, first non perfect fitting bit (where the bit beneath the bonnet just won't stay glued I think I will just have to take it off and shave some off the front chassis) it's still an amazingly engineered build.

Hi all here is the next update, all the windows on this have a black rubber surround and it was taking me ages to do them then I had an epiphany they take less than a minuet each now, take a magic marker put on the edge and draw round

Try to find one of Premier's old Ford Anglia/Prefect from about 1957 or so. Would be perfect in the dio!
