Update #1 KNIGHT BUS PROGRESS
HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF THE BUS AND YOU CAN SEE IT IS TAKING ON ITS SHAPE! SOME PARTS ARE MISSING AND STILL NEEDS ALOT OF SANDING AND FINAL DETAILS ( WINDOWS, RAILS, WINDOW RAILS AND SHAPING ETC.) I WILL TAKE MORE PICS AFTER I GET IT DETAILED AND SANDED, BEFORE STAIN AND FINISH. BEFORE I GLUE IT ALL TOGETHER!! WON'T BE TO MUCH LONGER. 10 DAYS TO 2 WKS AT MOST!!

Update #2 Ready for color
One more sanding, clean, stain and finish.
I made some signs for the passenger side, rear and front that are removable and I just put some temporary signs so you could see what I did. I will send new sigs with bus and you can just pop them in or out. Need you to send a picture of what tone the stain should be. So many different colors as I look on the internet, just e-mail a pic and I will so the best I can to match it.

Update #3 stain color
I have some min wax stain that are "deep ocean" and "royal mahogany" essentially blue and red. I mised 1/2 and 1/2 and I attached the result. You can tell me more red or more bulu and I will make another sample. My personal choice is to bring out the wood grains with a more natural look, but then it sort of spoils the wimsy of the three decker bus! I want you to be happy with it, but once the stain color is on there, there is no going back! Let me know. I will add mirrors and back rail.

Update #4 color of knight bus
If I make stair darker the grain of wood will noT Show. If you can go to a Home Depot or Lowes and pick a color that would be alot easier for everyone. I like the idea of the stains you sent that you said are "professional looking" as they will show the wood off better. I could stain with colors I have sent and start light and darken up with more coats of stain, that might work. We will get it soon! thanks Mellisa!
