Hi guys. Not much updates that worth posting pictures for now. I've started seats, dome lights, floor, back bumper is done, front mirrors are done too. I have to do side markers lights and a couple minor things before mirroring the half bus. Pics will follow soon. Thanks for comments.

@PCM_Bxbugs123: Thanks mate. Sure i will need help to convert it for IV because my laptop can't handle the game very well. We can check for an alternate version too like Police, Prison and Army.

@Sylvania: All textures you see there will be redone exept the warning lights on the top. The headlights are ugly i know. I have to make a template for all of them. The STOP sign is the best that i found but i'll search deeper for a better one

Verry nice bus !!!.

[Sam1970]

Hello people. 9 new pics this week. New lettering, new wheel wells, seats, driver seat, floor with floor mat in the alley, mirrors, side turn signals (not mapped yet), back bumper (only Blue Bird tag is missing), and new interior side top panels with seats numbers. This bus need a lot of work to be perfect. Things left to do are side door, bottom, engine, dashboard, steering, steps, radiator, front compartments, side doors (bottom compartments), shave the second back door handle, rear parking lights, Blue Bird tags, warning lights control panel, some maps and so on. I really don't have time to work on the bus again this week because of my trucking job so don't expect updates this week. It will be probably next week. For now enjoy these little updates and thanks for comments. They are always welcome

Hum!! I must admit that it looks strange!! I have checked some pics on Google but Blue Bird buses are very differents from one to another. They are very customisable. The rear axle seems to be placed right between the 4th and the 5th window from the back but some buses have larger windows than others. The school year will end tomorrow so there will not much buses on the road till automn. I'll go to the school bus depot to check for it


Now just a little update today before going to work. Side door is done, rear door handle shaved right mirrors adjusted and like Schaefft said rear axle moved to the back. 4 new pics for you. Enjoy!

[Sam1970]

Hello my people. Long time no posts sorry but i have lot of work and free time is missing to finish the bus. At least there's few updates. New ID lights, new reflectors, BLUE BIRD on the front hood, new stepwell, new inside hood, new switchboard panel, reshaped the front top (where the warning lights are), redone back bumper, new lower back lights, new back door hinges, redone some minor stuff, adjusted some normals and so on So i wish to thanks all of you who support me in this project and here's some pics for you. Enjoy

Your comments are very important to me and they are always welcome. It motivate me to model the bus even if i'm so f*ckin tired Thank you so much.

[GTABUSBOY]

LOL!!! As i can see it not seems to be finished. It's not the finished product. The gas pedal does not exist for now BUT it will come later when the dashboard will be finished. For the bags it's not a Coach, a Train, or a Boeing, It's a School Bus and all the details i have putted in this bus is like the real one. There will be a CB and microphone in it. Many many many parts are not started yet. like Diesel pedal, Brake pedal, Park Brake pedal, radio, steering wheel, column, dashboard, A little door on the lower left side, Diesel fuel door, frame, differential, part of the engine, handle to open the right door, handle to open the emergency back door, suspension, Drive shaft, little part of the STOP sign are missing, remodel all the water strips on the front windshield, modify the floor (front section), and so on. Do not expect to play with it tomorrow because i'm a truck driver and i work 5 even 6 days a week so my free time is missing. Hope to give you updates until next week. I model my car as close as the real thing so it's a long long process for me to complete a project because i'm not a professionnal modeler. I have a lot to learn. I want to apologize to all fan of my stuff to be so long to do updates. It's not because i don't want to...it's because i can't.

[WSD1993]

Wow, just amazing.
Have a cookie
Will tell all my friends in my clan about this when it is out

[schaefft]

Its looking great, what else can I say. The amount of details and time you invest into this model is just incredible, like I surely said before itll be another wonderful model from you. (You should think about doing it professionally, most people underestimate their skills, lowpoly-modelingwise you cant get much better).

And please take you time. I know how its like when you dont have the time or the mood to work on a model and Im sure theres other stuff you could do on your 1 free day. But your work is highly appreciated and like I said, who knows who sees these pictures, too.

I love it! I'm assuming that it's going to come out for SA, because of the school district name on the sides, but anyways nice job! Oh BTW, it almost looks like my school bus I ride in IRL.
