Here you go, all you West Aussies, please tell me what you think. Cheers!

Its very good, how about a renault next?

Suggestion taken

Couple of minor fixes.

1. Our O 305s with STÜLB fronts have 3-piece sliding windows, not 4-piece.

2. The windows on the rear doors need to be resized as the size difference between the top and bottom windows isn't that noticeable. The separation more or less aligns with the separation on the front doors.

3. The driver's window is a 2-piece window.

4. The side desto box should be wider as these can accommodate destinations as well as numbers.

5. The centre of the axles are painted black.

6. The Perth-standard air-cooling pod is longer than the Adelaide ones.

Dave

This is just the kind of feedback I need. This model is based from my MK3 Sydney Merc, Adelaide Volvo B58 and Adelaide Merc O305, hence why it has a mixture of elements from all three. Plus, I had 2 paperbuses going at the same time, which didnt help either.

Thanks

Cheers!

Great work, B58 Howler! My only (very small) criticisms are that the horizontal line across the back below the windows and the vertical ones either side of the engine bay 'flap' are a bit too heavy compared with 'prototype', and that the radius you have selected for the corners of most side and rear windows is too large or rounded - the window corners are somewhat 'squarer' in reality. But overall a top job!

Uh oh !! A couple of minor fixes to your minor fixes are called for, PBCNG !!

The driver's (side) window (on Transperth O305s with STÜLB, or O307-type, fronts) is actually 3-piece, not 2-piece (or 4-piece as on early MTT O305 units). Have a look at some offside front views in the 'Purple Circle' thread (http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/viewt ... le#p398026) or in the fleetlist, eg - http://www.perthbus.info/report.php?vid=TP395.

Yes - the side 'destination' box is wider in some instances, but it is slightly misleading to assert that this is to accommodate "destinations as well as numbers". On these O305s, where NOT fitted with electronic displays, the right-hand half of the side box is capable of displaying words such as 'EXPRESS', 'No Set Down Before Section 1', etc, but never actual destinations. Only the electronic desto equipped O305s can show destinations (place names), and those so fitted were in the minority compared with the ones that had good ol' linen blinds on rollers.
