...cheers Gaz , thats all i intend doing , not wanting to big myself up , but hopefully encouraging others to have a go ! - and by showing/sharing my version of creating the past history / memories in 3D!! - instead of the usual photos ect ! - although as you may have noticed , i try and help when i can there as well !

....and a 7mm scale rather bland "standard " version of the Metrobus with bus seats as depicted a few months old in '80 featuring the "new" style, repositioned fleetname - the decision to paint the whole engine covers brown, and bumpers black as standard on all deckers was introduced a few months later ....
again all home - made transfers.

Yes had a go at a home made advert until i can get a decent pic of a side advert, the grilles i cheated with bought a pack off ebay had all grills for Olympians, yep mirrors were tricky especially glueing the mirror onto the arm.

Just a quick onr Transit how can i stop the decal fadeout from curling near the wheel arches?

Very nice they are Gaz!!! Keep up the good work mate. I wish I could paint like that.

...spray a liitle clear lacquer into the lid (which you use to spray the decal paper) then slit every mm the overlapping transfer up to the wheelarch rim , brush some of the lacquer on the under wheelarch rim, then gently press the decal under to stick to the lacquer.
The clear lacquer can also be an "adhesive " for any other loose transfers.
