....i'm here anyway !!!! How i do my seats is , i find a suitable pic on Google of the required seat pattern . This can be then put into Microsoft word , and shaped to correct scale and size , then duplicated to make an area of required size ! The other way , is to go into Paint , and make the stripey patterns of the material , as i have done in the pics below . This was then printed out on transfer paper and then the laborious job of then fitting to each seat ! Below are my examples of Mainline material as fitted to G reg B10m's when new, and the SYPTE orange moquette .....  |

Transit, what are Pirate Models like (they produce metal model kits) in the format like the Dominator where you have to glue sides with roof etc. They produce a Scania N113/Alexander PS kit what looks decent.
Thanks

Thanks ..i have that model - as used by Stagecoach. The kit , which i acquired , needs paint stripping and rebuilding. but is yours for £10 ? - the only reason being , i have too many other projects on , and know i will never get round to rebuilding it ! Personally i would alter the MIM kit ? but the resin kit is 3x more ! |

...yes , one of the first companies to do white metal bus kits back in the early '70,s.
They did a very good Leyland National kit also.
