The Model Buses of Rod Blackburn

Utility STD - Scratchbuilt: There were no die-cast utilities when I made this, but I was inspired by the fact that these very distinctive sounding vehicles used to go past my home. I used to be able to imitate their sound, such that once my mother told me to stop making that noise when it was actually a real bus passing by. The side windows are perhaps a little deep, but making drawings from photographs was never easy.
