Double-Decker Bus
Built by Richard Marsden in September 2015
This model started out as a single-decker. I built this model around 2009, but always felt its proportions didn’t look quite right and that it would better with the extra deck. Conversion was reasonably straightforward, if a little time-consuming. Longer window pillars were fitted to span both decks, the rear entrance and back bodywork modified, the upper floor, seats and staircase added, and the original roof re-used. It isn’t based on any particular real vehicle; would the right word be “generic”? It certainly consumed a lot of parts; it tips the scales at about 11.5kg.
