The first thing worth mentioning is that Draculaura's face went a peach tone when I wiped the paint off. I don't know if it was what I used, or how vigorous I was, but it was a bit disappointing. ,It's not too noticeable and I'll find some way to make sure it doesn't happen again.
She is so cute! I really love how she turned out. I'm going for a cyberpunk look for her, and I'm still not sure about her hair. She was a Dead Tired Draculaura and so the hair was probably the most difficult I could have picked to work with, but this is after I had to tie it back to paint her, and it did look pretty good before that.
Anyway, not sure about a name yet, so if you think she looks like a certain name, do share ^^
Cleo! Probably my least favorite sculpt, she's kinda boring. But even so, I gotta repaint 'em all! hah!

The Shelly repaint is slowly getting there, with just a few things to do before I'll be considering it complete. The two main jobs left are adding the branding to the interior cove panels for ticket prices and the pictures of the different Seasiders (which I'm going to have to draw...) and, on the rear, add the "great value fares" at the top. It's written in that weird splatter-like font that the Seasiders' names are in, so I'm going to have to draw half the letters from scratch.
Most recent additions (from earlier today) are the price banners on the rear, the shells on the cove panels and the sky/kite image on the upper deck ceiling, although back near the beginning of June I made the 'welcome aboard' graphic on the driver's door and a couple of other interior bits.
As I put last time I uploaded a Shelly update, I still don't know what the deal is with the ALX enhancement pack and whether I'll use it to create further Seasider repaints. From what I've read it appears to require the SP Renown as a dependency to work - which is a paid DLC and I don't own it - so do I spend £10 or however much it is just to blank out the rear window?
Also, I'm pretty sure this open topper is from an older variant of that same enhancement pack... so is this version even available anymore? I'll be substantially less than impressed if the repaint I just spent the best part of a year making can't be released because the version of bus it's for is no longer available. Guess I'll ask on FellowsFilm and see if anyone can be bothered to reply to me.
My Devon got a new look today since her old face up got all messy in my move to China. I went all futuristic and weird with this one and had lots of fun. Not sure how versatile she will be though as no wig suits her better than being bald! :D
She wears a Syb shirt, Numina shoulder strap and Inamorata belt.
Here is my first attempt at a full body repaint of a doll because it’s literally cobbled together from pieces of broken deuce and Holt dolls so nothing matched (broken hips, missing arms, replaced feet, etc) so I decided to turn him into my Spike the dragon custom.
His body is a few sprays of regular enamel spray paint meant for plastics while his head was painstakingly painted in very thin coats of acrylic to match the spray painted body.
I sprayed both his head and body with MSC but for different reasons. His body was glossy as heck so I figured a matte spray with both protect the paint and to help it make it look more matte. However this kinda melted the paint off from his fingertips and toes so I don’t recommend MSC-ing enamel spray paint lol.
His head got a healthy dose of MSC to protect it while I give him a face up so woo.
Some things I would do differently next time is sand down his shoulder joints so they don’t rub against his torso and chip away at the paint/give the paint coat some room. I would also prime his body a bit better to help the paint stick and sand down the joints so they don’t rub against each other as badly.
Now to not mess up on his face.
Freshly repainted CX09 BGZ ( 696 ) sitting here at Bangor Bus Station preparing to depart with the route 62 to Amlwch
So I've got me several Bratzillaz to repaint. I thought "they're pretty, why can't I find more than a couple repaints of them on internARGH CAN'T PUT THOSE EYES BACK THE FACE-UP IS HALF RUINED OH MY FINGERNAIL!"
And that's why nobody repaints them.
Freshly repainted into fleet livery is Seaford & District Iveco Daily van and now gains the registration SD09 SEA
Repaint nearly finished! I just have to make templates for the wallpaper on the top floor before I bash the roof on properly. Right now it's just balanced loosely on top. I spent quite a bit of time last night bashing the walls into the floor with a tent peg. I also need to pop in the front door.

Repaints into the refreshed livery remain on hold again with no repaints in the last three months with attention refocused on the coach fleet.
62122 and 69351 were the first B10BLE and B7RLE repainted respectively. Neither have had their liveries completed with the speech bubbles and Aberdeen branding missing.
10157 was the only example not repainted by Larbert, it being done back in 2012 after a third party accident repair. It differs from the others not least by its new style Red Line branding but by the black strip between the windscreen and display being painted out.
Seen here on King Street on the 2.
Got her today! Sooo "adorkable". Can't wait to make better photos of her; she's going to be my nerdy girl. ♥ I'm yet to find a suitable name.

Today's coach collection, former Armchair Volvo B10M-48 Van Hool Alizee T9 Y22 APT. It has been with Aldermaston Coach Lines for around a year now although has yet to turn a wheel. It is seen here at York Pullman's yard this morning, 3rd May 2024, following repaint by Meridian Coachworks.
When I was around 8-10 years old I repainted a lot of my toy cars – I still have many of those in a box somewhere! These pair, however, may have been inspired by John Lennon's Rolls-Royce Phantom V. I had two Dinky 198 Phantoms, the other survived without modification: www.flickr.com/photos/adrianz-toyz/9066268300
The plastic BMC 1100 body shell is probably made in Hong Kong, but I'm not sure of the manufacturer. Most of the HK copies seem to be of the Dinky, and have opening bonnets.
I seem to remember my mother being unimpressed by the way Lennon abused his car, so repainting mine like this was an act of rebellion :)
