Jimmy Flintstone resin shorty bus

[cobraman]

Waiting for better weather to do the painting on the Meggaa Hauler I’m working on so I thought I would do some prep on this one . Body is pretty nice but needed a fair amount of clean up . Kit comes with the body , chassis plate , lower engine , rear bumper and front bumper grill . I will be using tires and wheels from a semi tractor . I had to do quite a bit of mods to the chassis plate to fit the tires and still need to do a little more trimming . Kit also comes with window material . No interior details included . I am making a drivers compartment but side windows will be blacked out . Not up to trying to build a complete interior .

Gotta a bit of push-me-pull-you action goin' on there, Ray?

This will be interesting!

Thanks guys. Yes Alan, your right the front does look like the back.

Sweet project!

I have the White Cabover body which has the identical front end. I'll have to get that.

[cobraman]

Thanks Dennis. Did you build or start your Cabover ? If so is it posted here anywhere ?

[cobraman]

Managed to get some paint on this one . Just a start. Needs a bit more of this color. upper section will be white . Bumpers white also I think . 

[slusher]

Ray, your bus is looking soo nice....

[Steve H]

Hi Ray, great looking bus! I love seeing unusual projects like this. Maybe a titanium/charcoal grey colour for the bumpers? Just a thought.  The body colour is a great choice.

Cheers, Steve

Thanks ! I hope to paint the white roof today if it keeps on warming up.

[cobraman]

I did manage to squirt some paint on the bus .

Good progress.

[cobraman]

Thank you Jim. Another "oddball" build for me.

[cobraman]

Getting pretty close to finishing up the bus . Mostly just lights and bumpers left . Cutting windows out of clear sheet was a chore for me . Side windows were ez but front , back and the curved ones up front were a lot tougher .

Great model of another unique Flintstone resin offering. Thanks for sharing.

[cobraman]

Thank you Tom.

What bus doesn’t look cool with tinted windows?!  

[Kromolly]

Very cool project and nicely executed.

[cobraman]

Thank you guys. Black out windows due to the fact I was too lazy to try and build a full interior.

Looks great the way it is Ray. Around here most bus windows are tinted anymore. So not Lazy just building with the times. 

[MeatMan]

Really sweet! Awesome job!.

Kinda scary though. I'm painting the White cabover I'm working on pretty much the same colors except more white than brown on mine.

[cobraman]

This one is done and pics will be in the under glass section soon if interested . 

[Steve H]

Hi Ray, looks awesome. I love the big exhaust tip too! I tend to put those on all my builds. Whether it was “lazy” or not I really think the tinted windows are cool. Would have been an enormous amount of work to build the interior. A unique build that turned out great, I will watch for it under glass sir.

Cheers, Steve

Looks great Ray, Pulaski was the name of my school. I sure you was referring to the street.."

[cobraman]

Thanks guys. Yes Carl, Pulaski is a street in Chicago. I worked for a few years at a place near 63 rd. and Pulaski.
