VAG Stadtbus / Bus
« on: February 09, 2017, 10:55:09 »
Der neue VAG-Verkehrsmeister braucht ja  irgendwie auch ein wenig Verkehr zum Meistern, also habe ich mich drangemacht, einen passenden Bus zu erstellen:

What would a Nuremberg Public Transport Operations Officer do if there's no public transport device? Bus urgently required!


Am Anfang war ein alter Playmobil bus - in the beginning there was an old Playmobil bus.


In alle Einzelteile zerlegt - entirely disassembled...


...geht's in die Lackiererei - painter's workshops's waiting.


Das Klebeband hat fast überall ordentlich gehalten - masking tape did a neat job, nearly perfectly.


DAS war die Linie meiner Jugend *g* - destination blind in memory the days of my youth 8}.


Die Sitze im klassischen Nürnberger Blau - seats in blue as usually in Nuremberg.


Aus der Lackiererein zurück und zusammengesetzt. Ein paar kleine Arbeiten stehen noch aus. - Back from the painter's.

Last steps were made - and so was a big one right to the place the original box photo was taken at:

An excellent piece of custom work and that last final touch of phot0graphing the finished bus in situ is, as Tahra says, "awesome"!

Cheers for you interest and kind replies. Here's a last one. Also taken at the original place next to Nuremberg City Hall and with a real bus passing that place.



Danke für das Interesse und die netten Antworten. Hier noch ein Bild am Originalschauplatz beim Nürnberger Rathaus und einem echten 36er an derselben Stelle.

:lol:

A fantastic customisation, JJ! I was a bit  :omg: at the first few pictures, but you made such a great job of it I was reassured. I love a happy ending.

That real life bus didn't destroy all your hard work, I hope?

I have happy memories of bus journeys around Sheffield in my youth, under 16 you could go anywhere for 2p! Those buses were cream with a blue stripe, but I haven't your skill to recreate one in PM.. :-[
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)
