The Big Bus

This is the bus I created using sketchup. This was made for the 1976 movie The Big Bus, you can check the link to see the real thing.

aweome model. i thought I was only one that had heard of this movie. It out Airplaned Airplane 5 years before. :thumb:

the Big Bus was a parody of 70s disaster flix like Airport and all the others. It's the story of the maiden voyage of the first transcontinental nuclear powered Bus. Complete with Lounge, swimming pool, bowling alley, and every passenger running away from their past!

Old Woman Stowaway to the Priest: Oh Father. .. it is going to be conforting for me to sit next to you here on this long Trip.

Priest who has lost his faith: Yeah, but I got the Window Seat! Where's your God now, Woman? :roflmao:
If I make it look easy. . .rest assured--it probably is.

Nice work :thumb: Can't believe I never heard of this movie, I'll have to check it out.

Would really like to see some pics of the SU model (non-rendered). It looks like you did the interior too, could we see some shots of that?

Again, really nice work.

There is a video I made with this model. It shows the interior, but the interior is very simple because of performance issues.

You can watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7C6F604R8Y

OMG, I haven't thought of that movie in literally decades!

For those of you haven't seen it be prepared for some really good, bad comedy! "Out Airplaned, Airplane" is right.

Great model!

I know what i'm gonna watch next weekend!

Nice model, maybe some texture improvement on the asphalt, tires and bumpers, then it will look really nice! ;)
