I've had a go at creating a bus stop diorama for it. Still need a standing figure for the bus exit/entry step and a better seated figure. And also noticed because of the pics I need to touch up the timetable sign. Another issue is the phone box is 1/32, do u reckon its noticeable? The model is remarkable. So much detail in such a large vehicle. I have a Routemaster too where I'll have a go at another diorama for it as well.

Your diorama is magnificent. Sorry, I cannot help but think about this old 60's song:

Wonderful diorama Geoff. So much to see. I feel that I could jump right on that bus.

That is a terrific 1/24 diorama and the big SunStar bus looks wonderful and quite impressive in this setting. Very nice !

thanks gents. I'm still going to look for at least a standing figure for the entry exit step, trying to find one with the arm in position as if holding the chrome support bar.

Corgi makes a bunch of 1/24 figures of Brits. Here's a Bobby and Winston Churchhill.

@geoff-jowett WOW!!! That'll look great painted up. Pewter? BTW: those Corgis are pre-painted pretty decently. The picture is old and poorly lit, but I did a bit of touch-ups on them.

They're 3D printed Rich, so I presume resin? From Gregs link where I posted the pics in 1/24 Forum. Good thing is they will make them in your chosen scale, and there is a comprehensive range, mostly railway linked. Downside, as Greg mentioned is, they ain't cheap! Now all I have to do is not stuff up the paint job!
