Dear All:

Hm, not bad. The only models I know from the Gillig Phantom, MCI Classic, El Dorado National Minibus and Neoplan Intercity Bus, as used by LADOT are made from this material and mine are proudly displayed at the living room alongside a Plastic Prevost, NABI LFW40 and paper GMC RTS. Problem is, these are on the large side. I used to know two sites (as I changed carriers, they got lost) which had pictures of buses which could be built as paper model in any scale.

Dear Chester:

Thanks for the info. I appreciated the CTA RTS the most, due to the fact that this one seems to be a MK VIII or X version (probably even a ex-Nova Bus product). While these may be a common sight in the East Coast or Canada, they almost unseen in the Los Angeles area, but I think I spotted one a while ago with Long Beach Transit Livery. Nice models there overall.

Wasn't there a member called "hudatdere" here in the forum? I will have to check, I wonder if it was the same guy.

I still can not have access to the website mentioned above: hudatdere.freehostia.com/
But if I understand well, it's a Greyhound bus for download.
How about this one ? www.dioramix.com/greyhound.pdf
Will try if time permits... even if the life expectancy of these models is very short over here...

Greetings, all! Sorry that I forgot youse guys, but a series of pc snafus ended up with me losing my bookmark for this great group... hence, my "used to be" status. So, I guess I'm welcoming myself back. ;D

If you are not getting into my current page

you may be getting timed-out by your ISP; use the "Refresh (from server)" command on your browser after you get a "not found" message.

ALSO, as of October 1, 2007, every one of my model templates contains a 1:87 print-scale legend in inches and centimeters, to help get your downloads to print accurately on your equipment with your image software at 300dpi resolution.

Hudatdere Paper Bus Barn Additions!!

Two new 1:87 paper buses are now available for free ... 1) Ford 1944 Model 49B "Crackerbox"; 2) White 1944 Model 798.
Link to models = hudatdere.freehostia.com

Both bus models were developed from photographs I took in the Summer of 2007 at the Illinois Railway Museum (Union IL). The museum has about a dozen buses (including a couple of trolley buses) in various states of restoration.

Hi hudatdere: What we need now are some modern buses such as the New Flyer Industries 40' LF, and 60'LFR models. LOL.

go to www. etspe.ca for hundreds of photos of buses in Canada and the western US. New flyers, GMC new look fishbowls and so on.

might give you some ideas.

New in hudatdere.freehostia.com (Hudatdere's Bus Barn)

THE PAINT SHOP is now open. I've done the work to de-color some of my
photo-based models, and used them to create "siblings". Now you can
have a fleet in your own livery just by following a few simple painting
instructions. Initial offerings are:
..1940s GM OldLooks (square windows) in 28-ft, 31-ft, and 33-ft
versions.
..1950s GM OldLooks (paired windows) in 30-ft, 35-ft, and 40-ft
versions.
..1960s GM NewLooks in 35-ft version with roof air, and 40-ft without
air; both models are offered "fancy" (with) or plain (without) aluminum
fluting on the sides and back.

These were fun to make. I hope someone finds them fun to paint and
build.

Hi all: Try this site for other paper motorbuses (including some fantasy ones at the very bottom); all in HO, 1/87th scale.

imhd.sk/transport/index.php?w=3825242e29ef392b2321362f28293234333936ea&lang=en

This should be all one line in your browser; paste it together if you have to do so.

Many nice paper buses.

My printer has been out of ink for a year (LOL) so not for me at the moment. I have seen other paper bus sites; will list them in the future as I run across them.
