Fosters Bus.

[baabaa]

Thanks to Sparky for the images. They helped loads.

Unfortunatly, here in the UK it's difficult to get hold of a decent sized model of an American School bus, so instead i used a model short camper van 8-)

The things i want to change on the next one i make, are to use the white backing paper for the front decal, instead of clear, as this will show up the colours better . Also, i'll aim to use a lighter pencil, so that hopefully the lines won't be as visable.
I was going to colour in the side windows, but thought they looked okay in the white. The rear was my own imagination. That was until i caught an episode today in which i saw the rear of the bus, which is why i added the logo.

It's very cute! Nicely done too, wonder how big the bus was? If only we could get an actual bus with this paintjob... anybody got a VW Bus they want to turn into a Foster's Bus? XD

[Little Baby IceCream]

That's cute! I love it! Whoever you made that for will definatly have fun playing with it!

Extremely cute, Daz! I'm sure your son will adore it to no end! I sure would. :bloosmirk:

Yeah, wouldn't it be awesome if someone turned an old schoolbus into the Foster's Bus? It could be the official fan vehicle for the Con in years to come!

[Nem]

That is awesome! I'd buy one if I saw it in stores. It looks just like the Foster's bus.

Awesome job!

As cute as that would be, you'd never say that if you'd ever had to park at the Comic-Con. 8D

It's an awesome bus! :terrsmile:

[baabaa]

Thanks for the comments. It's just over 4 Inches long x 2 Inches wide x 2 Inches high.

I did have a mad idea of painting up my classic Mini Clubman Estate in the bus colours, but think that could prove quite pricey .... would look good though 8D

My son has been itching to play with it for days, but yesterday was the first time he could ..... he's already making up stories involving all the Foster's crew :)

I once saw a school bus with the Foster's characters and logo on it, if it wasn't exactly the Foster's bus.

Wowwie zowwie! That amazing! I want one! 8D

I don't think you can keep it in your house, it was too big. 8D However, if you want to take it directly from here (were I am right now), you'll never be able to take it, it is too far from you. :(
If it was possible, I would want one, too.

8D Actually, I was referring to what Baabaa made for his son, but the life-sized one sound great as well! Of course, I wouldn't want to have the one you're referring to, because from what I've gethered, some one owns it. Or do you mean you saw it for sale. I'd buy it in a heartbeat! :D

I'm of course kidding though, I would never have enough money for such a thing, and It woouldn't fit in my apartment's parking lot... so.... 8D

Oh! I should have realized it, but your comment was just after mine, so...
And, well, I never saw if it was for sale or not (it was there and an hour later, when I wanted to see it again, it wasn't).
Er... sorry.

P.S. If I had enough money, if the bus was for sale, if it fit in my house and if my family let me, I think I would be the owner of that life-sized, Foster's decorated bus right now.

The bus looks cool! It would make a good toy. The shape of bus reminds me of the Mystery Machine from the Scooby Doo shows for some reason.

[baabaa]

There is a very good reason for that Crash, it used to be a Mystery Machine 8D

For those in the UK, it's usually found in places like Tescos, filled with lots of candy bones :)

I found after a bit of grinding, then lots of sanding and then primer, that the shape lends itself to all sorts of interesting paint jobs. I've actually got a few of them, just deciding what paint scheme to come up with next ..... I might do another Foster's bus, or just give it a Foster's theme ...... or just do both .
