“I’m building an English city in 28mm scale. For now I have got a double deck”. I told this phrase almost eight months ago. After I told it I found it very funny, because you cannot do a city with a bus…
Instead it is partially logical. I want a city to set my skirmish games, because in skirmish battles with firearms you cannot have a scenery based on a lawn (the first who moves kills all with a burst), and put some tins or books around is dreary. So this bus is the first thing I bought to set a scenery, the first brick of my city.

I bought for few quid on E-Bay this old model, almost a wreck. I repaired some lost parts, put the numbers of the 12 line (I was taking this bus line when I went to Luca’s house) and changed its disrupted adverts with Marmite ones. Its aspect is around the ’50 I suppose, but I will put it in every set since 1938 to 21th century. Who cares is sometime it will be not chronologically exact, it is always a double deck, an English icon.

Here you can see the second brick of my city, a transport from 1938. And sunday I bought a railway crane and a van. More bricks are on arrival…
