The doors are "illusions".
The entrance doors on the bus banks are painted glossy black with "Testors Paint" I use black vinyl film to out-line the doors and paint in the lines. The side emergency doors are easy. The space where the window is, is filled in with a magnet, covered with NSBY film. A black window is shaped and placed on it. I have started using mirror film and placing window tint on top of it to make it look more realistic. The black on the rear warning lights (Brake, Turn, Back-up) is painted. All of my lights are 3M reflective film. All of the lights are shaped with a leather belt punch. You can get those at any boot store or TSC. They usually have 6 different sizes on them to fit the size you need. |

| Silver or dark grey vinyl film. Go to any sign shop and ask them if they have 3M Controltac film. If they do...you can buy it by the foot. |

| Holy crap! I like the specs but they are sloppy. Instead of coloring over the words I see on the Crown, you should use nail polish remover. Making names you schould use a label maker. |

Find the logo on the internet. Print it off using your printer. Cut it out. Use doublesided tape, and wahla! You got it! It may work with prinitng on address labels, I am not sure. |

| No, I personally just call it an International Blue-Bird. I don't care of the front part looks wierd but the sides and the back look like a blue-bird so Blue-Bird it is. |

| Right now I am in the process of moving my pictures to my new website, link will be provided as soon as it is ready to be viewed. My old site wanted to be a pain in the butt, so I am done with it. To view some of my pics go to myspace.com and look up Weathermaninct or Tyler Roys, they are under "my pictures". |

Here are some updated pics of my school bus collection. I do have a few buses that Jeff and Ted have customized for me.
None of my buses are for sale, sorry.

| I received that as a gift from one of the Thomas dealers in the late 1980's. I believe it was made to be used as a paper weight since it is slightly heavy. |
