I've never been a big fan of this livery, but for those that are, here is the same template in Stagecoach livery. I use my templates purely for liveries.

I think the Stagecoach (Starsky & Hutch) Livery was a bit busy on these. I love the SL202's though...

I'm in the process of doing a Metrolink M.A.N designline smiley... Its hard to get the stripes right though. I've only done the stripes to the front of the bus at the moment and all done using MS paint (very time consuming :lol: )

Here is the near side of my metrolink smiley. I copied the stripes from cordes SL202 above. I would've attached the whole template but its too large :(

This is something I did in my spare time recently, I know Gobus don't own any of the new MAN Designlines but this is what it would like if they did. Credit goes to redbusfan for the template.


Note: Unfortunely I had to compress the picture a bit and some of the detail I put into it is really hard to see I apologise for this :oops:

That is the shape of the New Gobus Cambridge & Te Awamutu buses. So hopefully they may order some with their Urban livery too...

Lifehouse, here is an updated template. It was hard to get the measurements right as these vehicles have 9 windows on the right side. I still don't think it's 100% right... :?

I've also come up with a way of laying the template out without compressing it :)

Here is my version of the BCI classmaster. Living in a small town in far north QLD, all you see is BCI. This bus I created is a fictional style similar to the BCI classmater 57, with the difference being the curved front and different front layout.

Please note: the livery is also 100% fictional and there is no such website.
