Bus Depot for the Bus Otaku TIB1224Y Apr 28th, 09, 03:25 PM #1 (permalink)
I think this is the best place to showcase collectibles... This is going to one of my regular non-anime contributions here (cause I don't know what to contribute to anime subjects except watching and discussing sometimes), so please pardon me for this 'kay?

First up of course is the depot built for the models, the backbone of this subject... Got the models, but no place for them to be parked? Gather some raw materials and unwanted stuff, get to work with creativity!


The front view of the depot.


The 'dormitory' for workers staying in the premises overnight. Although the scale is a bit off (building is 1/150 and models are 1/76) but I still used it to create a building-in-a-building which has a special effect...


The 'repair bay'.


The fuel pumps. This thing is about 14 years old and of course it could not be bought by me! Came in a Matchbox city set with multi-storey carpark, this fuel pump sure brings back lots of memories and perhaps yours as well, if you have owned the set before!


The administrative building and R&D workshop (red containers).


When its time to leave the depot, the cloth can be drawn down and dust (minority will still go in through the other sides) and sunlight easily kept out.
