Are 9304, 9798 and 9860 supposed to be printed on A3 because they are a 3-axle bus?

Yes, because their size would be out of proportion with the others if done on A4.

Thanks Mr Bean, built three already with more to come!

Do you brace the sides? How do you keep them looking so 'solid' ?
There's no denying you are exceptional at this paper caper!!

The original post is 13 years old. It looks like the host that the links were on is no longer available.
