A bit of scratch-building and a bus station

Happy Thanksgiving to all (two days early)! I've got another damned cold! I can't catch a break this season.

Anyway, I was watching my favorite short YouTube wargaming video again and there's a scratch-built CNN truck in it. Here are a couple of stills I took:

It looks to be made out of a GHQ British Leyland DAF T244 truck:

So, I decided if he can do it, so can I. The only bit I'm not sure about is the steps on back. He did a damned good job on those. Anyway, I took one of the same model and spackled the sides and back with green putty to smooth out the canvas pattern. More on this later in a future post.

In other news, my z-scale train station that's now a bus station is finished:

Now I need to extend some sidewalk/curbing out from the front for bus stances. These Faller buildings don't go together as smoothly as the ones by Kibri or Vollmer. It was quite fiddly and a bit of a pain in the ass to get put together. My tiny German town is named "Winzigstadt", which translates to "Tiny Town" in English, so I had to replace the town name on the station. 

This is day one of my four day holiday weekend, so more from me as things progress. Enjoy your turkey!!
