I found a reasonably priced Airport Coach in our local ASDA and started to plan the build. I envisaged a political \u201cBattlebus\u201d that I would turn into a real battle bus. From the deep memory bank I remembered Clint Eastwood in \u201cGauntlet\u201d where he drives a witness to court in a coach equipped with an improvised armoured driving position. He wins through but the coach is riddled with bullets so it had to feature that. I wanted a massive engine to power it and found the ideal unit in Hot Wheels \u201cTe\u2019ed off\u201d. The coach came apart easily, I cut up the interior to fit the engine and armoured the seat, then drilled bullet holes in the windscreen and side windows. I then put it all together painted it red and scuffed up the paint with a pan scourer, then added the slogans on the sides. I built it for a friend to introduce him to the game. There\u2019s plenty of scope to add more equipment. There\u2019s two hatches, I could use to hide weapons, a minigun perhaps but the standard bus build is quite well armed, I could fit a turret on the roof or a ram to the front.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1165\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/brigademodels.co.uk\/mws\/blog\/2019\/04\/23\/gaslands-build-the-lost-prophet\/image003-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brigademodels.co.uk\/mws\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image003-e1555886296825.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image003\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brigademodels.co.uk\/mws\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image003-e1555886296825.jpg?fit=840%2C523&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brigademodels.co.uk\/mws\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image003.jpg?resize=840%2C472&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"472\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1165\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Lambert takes us on a bus ride&#8230; One vehicle missing from my Gaslands inventory was a bus.
