A Bit of Progress......

So I had a hideous morning at the dentist today and have spent the afternoon trying, through the pain, to relax into a bit of modelling and make some progress on my BumbleBus vehicle.

Since the other day there are now pistons on the doors and some steps to the cabin door, these have been automated and attached to controllers through set driven keys. I know it's a bit of a small imall image but hopefully you get the idea.

Here's a close up of the steps and the part of the storage door piston. I've tried to apply a touch of Art Deco to the steps in their styling but have kept the piston fairly utilitarian.

This shot is really to demonstrate the pistons on the cabin door, a bit of the interior is also visible.

A closer view from the exterior to the interior highlights some of the detail on the model. In keeping with the Deco styling the chair that I have built for the BumbleBus is a Kem Weber classic spring chair. I like the design and it's styling is reminiscent of the seating in older public transport with it's chrome tubes and leatherete cushions.

I have also made a luggage rack to further illustrate that this is a local transport type vehicle, the design is based on that of a railway luggage rack from the 1930s.

I'm making good progress with this model and hope to have it completed in the very near future.
