| There will be a new article on the subject of modelling shortly. This post is intended to invite members to give tips on transfers for model SVs. Have you found some suitable alternative source (perhaps from the railway or aircraft modelling trade)? Do you have experience of making your own? Would you be interested in contributing to the production of some custom transfers? To start things rolling, when I was doing the 1:36 Ford Transits, I made a sheet of Tube Lines, Metronet, LUL etc and these were fine. However, for the red-based LBSL van, I used BR wagon numbers for the white fleetnumbers. For the orange squares, after experimenting, I resorted to spraying using a stencil carefully cut out of sticky-back plastic. Note: Posting edited by Thomas Young, 05/07/07, 22:49. |

| The Model Bus Company do a few usefil bits & bobs for SVs. Their range includes BREAKDOWN TENDER (gold on black or white on black) and EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT (gold on black or white on black with bullseye centre). They also have some smaller gold LT fleetnames which may be suitable and other ones in red, plus an assortment of roundels and bullseyes of allsorts. Although I've not tried this myself, it may also be worth using parts of bus legal lettering for cab doors. These are usually available in white and some in gold but I don't know of any red versions which would be useful. MBC also still have full sets for their eariler kits of SVs.
