So, how to whiff a bus...

My 10 ideas:

1.Improvised AA vehicle. Remove the roof and seats, fit AA gun.
2. Converted freighter. Plug windows, removed interior, fit cargo hatch in the side. Sorta like how you convert pax aircraft into freighters :wacko:
3. Large APV. Fit armour, and very small windows. Possibly HUMVEE wheels.
4. Improvised tank killer. Remove roof and seats, fit a medium sized anti-tank gun.
5. Large road going railway gun. Sorta like the Leopold, just a bit smaller, and fitted to a bus...
6. Road battleship. Lots of armour, an 88mm anti tank gun (located next to the driver, is fixed like the gun of a Stug), some lighter AA guns on the roof, remove many windows and fit armour instear.
7. Racing bus. (Le Mans ;D)
8. Stretch bus, like A340-600
9. Mobile helicopter landing patch.
10. Shrink, like the 747SP

Supersized gun truck? A load of .50s and miniguns down the sides, and a 40mm Bofors up front.

Or a camouflaged ballistic missile launcher...
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

For some time I've been planning to build a post apocalyptic Armageddon Armored Bus Co. 666 class bus (a vital part of my Apocalypso! Rapid action skirmish RPG) but I think I need an older model of bus. Not so sleek. Also the price and size of such a bus would be daunting to me.
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

To the individual soldiers, *everything* is a frontal assault!

Ooohhh, I like the guntruck idea.  Also a missile launcher-type with rows of either cruise missiles or MLRS-type rockets with drop down sides and roof could work. 

Or, in a completely different vein, you could trick it out as the ultimate mobile man cave.
The Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah, the Men's department.

Make it into a bigger version of the EM-50 urban assault vehicle, complete with Sgt. Hulka figure hanging onto the roof.

Obviously, it needs to be made into a Herkeimer Battle Wagon, the finest urban assault RV in the world.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Scaleorama to 1/35 would work well.

I was thinking of all sorts of other whiffing ideas until I saw the price:79 of those funky europesos! That's what, over $120 in pictures of dead American presidents? Waaay too rich for me.

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Q-BUS!!!!

Looks like a yellow school bus until the sides drop down and you are faced with 10 105mm recoilless rifles and a couple of quad mount .50 cal M2HBs
