Dismantling Oxford Diecast bus for weathering and passengers


Recommended Posts

Well, I'm thinking about getting a bus to go on a bridge, if only to adhere to the apparent cliche :rolleyes:

Has anyone dismantled the Oxford Diecast bus (like this one:  https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/collections/1-76/products/bedford-owb-royal-navy-76owb001) to weather and spray varnish (so popping the glazing out too), and also fitting passengers and a driver?  

If so, did it go well or was it a shambles?

Quite easy this one. Undo one screw at the front and two at the rear and the bus comes apart. One slight problem, if you decide to change the colour, you will need a steady hand to paint the bar across the driver's windscreen. Apart from that, it's very straightforward.

That's most helpful, many thanks @Les Bird I shall look to buy one next time I do an order.  I shall try to remember to post any observations here!
