S'Cool Bus!

[Jonathan]

Well, with school starting back, I think it's time to wheel out the S'Cool Bus! 

This is the Monogram 1/24ish Tom Daniel's S'Cool Bus.  I've never built one before, and I'm having a blast with this.

 

I can see I need to do a little clean up on the black edges, but still ... this is just a cool old kit.

 

Thanks for looking!

Really cool. I remember back when I was a kid back in the 70s we were visiting relatives in WV. There was a corner market owned by a local family and they had a display case in the front of the store and it was filled with built models. I remember like yesterday I saw a S'cool Bus in that display case. Thanks for a trip in the wayback machine!

Love the Tom Daniels stuff as well! At one time, I had the "jones' to collect all show car models. I'm 62, and the sixties kits really take me back to a fun time. I built Tom's "Beer Wagon" kit not too long ago, and it was a kick ! Being new to this site, (this is only one of my beginning posts), I haven't posted any  of my models ......yet.......but I have lots, just need to photograph some and put them in the computer file and hope to join in the chatter with you guys.

I have a bunch of these showrod kits and enjoy buiding one once in awhile. That S'cool bus is looking great, I like the 2 tone.

Very nice..!   I love the Show rod series kits have ever since I was a kid.  Maybe someday Ill find/afford my grail kit of them...Un-Real Roller...???

[Jonathan]

Thanks! 

So, I kind of shot myself in the foot as they say.  Cleared the hood/front fenders - and then knocked it off the paint stand.   Then, I burned through the paint trying to fix it. Oops ...

Anywho ... pics so far:

   I like that hood just the way it is!!  It has

a weathered look that seems just right!

Jonathan, what did you use for your masking lines?    

You would get much better results with Tamiya tape.  It is more expensive than regular tape but you only use it for the match lines.

Thanks, Tom.

I used Frog Tape, which I've had good results with in the past.  I was thinking of redoing the paint job, but I've already decaled the body and I have no more decals!  My own undoing, I realize ...

[Jonathan]

Finished.  I kind of gave up on this one.  I lost two of the lights.

But, it was fun and I think I'll try another one day.

 Great looking build, I need to finish the one I started a few years ago

[Tom Geiger]

Looks great!  I see you got your paint lines cleaned up.  

It is a fun kit. A bit simple and somewhat unrealistic, but hey it was made for kids!  Only we got older!

[Davewilly]

Great looking Scool bus!
