Buses, Trains and Travel

On This Page

Over 25 years of creating the world in miniature, we have perfected the unique interlocking system for models of any kind that don’t require glue, and can be suitable for all ages from 5 and up. There’s nothing like creating your vehicle, product or service in miniature as a free giveaway for customers and employees.

Our models can help you in your next brand campaign. They are ideal for giveaways at fairs, events, school education and so much more. All forms of community outreach programs can benefit from the models as they are a unique way of engaging with people young and old.

Buses

No matter the make or model of your bus, be it a single deck, double deck, artic or midi we can recreate it in miniature for you. We have a large selection of buses already made, some examples shown here. If you can’t see your make or model, let us know as we can’t show every model we have made.

Depending on the use, we can make the models more detailed with roof pods, vents and seating if an open-top decker, but if more so for the little ones, then we can make the model simpler so they don’t need a parent to assist them in the construction process. Sizes can also vary, usually we can fit most models on an A4 sheet, but sometimes the bigger ones will need to be A3 size.
