      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.

      Video of this model is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7C6F604R8Y

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

          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? 🀣

          If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

            Haha, thats right! I watched this movie last week and decided to make this in sketchup. It's a funny movie.

                Nice work πŸ‘ 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!

                                  Thats awesome to see Cyclops in a 3d model.
                                  I wish it was available someplace. I would love to add it to American Truck Simulatoras a driver, and possibly a lowboy load.
