From MattT: Ticket to Ride, VBCW

"Smith! When i sent you out to aquire us some transports i didn't mean this antique piece of  junk."

"But boss, its the late night 73, she's as regular as clockwork."

Sloppy Jalopy Type B Bus. I only glued my fingers together twice during the construction which i am taking as a success. Decorated with some signs aquired off ebay and some inspirational banners home printed from web images. I dont usually add bases to my vehicles but felt it need it to protect the wheels. The coblestones are some old textured wallpaper. Dont think its going to be the comfiest ride but should get the lads into the action.

Also added a few more boys to the rosta.
There is a couple of Black Tree Designs minis in the mix this time. I definitely belong to the mix and match school of thought when it comes to mini manufacturers.

Stay safe. Matt

  1. Cool post and bus! As your brother and fellow gamer I have the right to be picky though ... where is the driver figure for the bus? Does this mean it is static on the board. Either way cant wait to machine gun it .....

    Cheers Jez

  3. Wow, that bus is stunning. I love the addition of the labour posters. Beautiful work Matt. Now you need to do some with some metal plating bolted on for Heath Robinson armour. :)

  4. Great work Matt - as Curt said, the posters are awesome. And any time you only glue your fingers twice, well, that's a triumph in my books too!

  9. What a smashing looking bus, love the posters! Glued your fingers only twice, and only to each other? You should do you tube videos.
