Recently I was away from 1:700 scale, doing some other projects, in much bigger scales. I was also travelling for quite a long time. Besides I am still lookong for a suitable and affordable place for my lab. Meantime I’ve finished a nice couple of English Double-deckers. The red one is from London, while the green beauty is from Liverpool. They are waiting […]

San (named after Sanok, the town in Poland where the bus factory was located) – It’s rather poorly designed bus from early 60ties. Although it was a bit obsolete on the other hand it was chip and that’s why very popular during next two decades. It had two main variants. To model the body I used the small pieces of 1mm plastic sheets […]
