WWI B-Type London Bus and French 75mm Gun (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

Made an overnight visit to my daughter and her family, when I came home these were waiting for me on the front porch. I must say they are both excellently done . . . . . the bus is incredible . . . . . All that's needed now are passengers and a gun crew . . . Oh what fun . . . . . I placed the USMC in the photos to show scale . . . .

Mike, really good photos of the excellent new releases. The bus is simply superb. I find the detail on the 75mm to be very well done and also find it very interesting that the gun has been made with an open breech. I can just see a loader set to ram home a shell. Congrats on the new additions. -- Al

Mike, really good photos of the excellent new releases.

The bus pics are yet another example of Jenkins' promo images failing to do a subject justice.

Thanks Mike!

Great pics Mike! Love the rear view of the Old Bill bus especially - I wasn't expecting to see a curtain on the downstairs entrance. Great bit of detail from John!!

Can't wait 'till mine arrives in "Dear Old Blighty" !

Cheers,

Roy

You'll like it every bit as much as I do once yours arrives Roy . . . .

It won't be a proper bus until its driver and some passengers make the scene . . . . .

Can't believe how well that bus turned out!

Thanks for the photos, they show it off brilliantly.

John's work is slowly but surely sucking me into WW1.
He's some kind of evil genius....wouldn't be surprised if he pops up in the next Bond flick

Got my bus today. Bit disappointed though.....The steering wheel doesn't turn, the wheels don't turn either, and there's no bus conductor

Ha, ha, only joking.....It's great!

The wheel doesn't turn, etc. because you didn't buy your monthly commuter ticket from John :wink2:

Do I get a discount if I pretend to be a senior?

JJ does WWI like no other manufacturer out there. Great pieces. ^&cool

I received my bus today, it's a true marvel! I don't collect WWI but I could not give up this beauty, I hope John will release even a British crew.
Cheers

Wondering if the Whaleboat Crew would look good on the Upper Deck of the Bus?

 

[RISORGIMENTO]

may be, but these are ANZAC troops too. I'd like Tommies.
