Something that has been taking up modelling time lately has been modelling in 1:1 scale, or making things in real size. It is interesting to work in such a large scale where mistakes of measurement are less conspicuous and critical.
The underside of the Airfix Autocoach is "complete" and now I have all the bits for the top side including flush glaze windows and coach advertising posters. Also the sitting figure and a standing driver. The reality that does hit me though is that this will be very much a display model until such time as a suitable layout is constructed
This is only a short post and I thought I wasn't going to sneak any photos out till I did an entire story on the autocoach but here is one, done with tripod to get a good depth of field with no flash: loooonnnggg exposure time
The rodding along the length is now painted black which tends to obscure the detail a little, I think.
