I've made a bus stop, or bus stop setting, for it. These Sunstar bus models are outstanding. I have both double decker varieties and one of the Bedford versions.
Hey Chris semi gloss was the best I could do to match the correct conductor uniform color. You know how some fabric can become glossly when its too worn down? I think thats whats happened with my bloke!
Here's a nice gent in the original uniform

You can always dust a bit of baby powder or flour on his clothes - it will dull any shine. BTW: That's a BIG dog!
These Sun Star buses are excellent; I saw all of them years ago when they were released. My only gripe is that they're 1/24, NOT 1/18! 😡 😡
Your diorama looks very nice and it will NEVER get dusty. 👍 👍 🧐
