1/25 Armoured Truck

I love making model planes but nothing I've done approaches the quality of what I see at ARC.  At least with cars I can do something a little different, perfect for Silly Week.

This truck still requires finishing, decals and details.  Mostly scratch-built from .040 Evergreen styrene sheet and strips.  Hood, engine and axles cast in waste styrene (sprue and plastic bathroom cups)  Dimensions gleaned from photos and drawings available on the internet.  Paint is from a rattle-can which was very slow to dry (It still crazed even after a weeks drying time).

Below is a completed 1/25 school bus inspired by the one that stops in front of my place daily to pick up my son.  I had much better results with the Humbrol enamel I used for this one.  Decals were printed on an ink-jet printer, with so-so results.
