I'd kind of forgot this thread existed, time to revive it again?
This is what I've been up to since last time:

An ex-NCT N94UD Omnidekka in Redfern Travel livery, plus a 'what if' showing one in Nottingham 1990s style green and cream livery, which was being phased out when the first Omnidekkas arrived. Had the livery stuck around just a little longer, it could have been a real thing.

A new drawing is the Optare Excel 2. As well as plain white, I've made two TrentBarton liveries for it so far; Rainbow 3 based off real buses, and Mango which is another 'what if'.

Also new is this full height ALX400 bodied Trident, which has versions with different glazing, as well as a pseudo open top Seasider. All were adapted from the original drawing which was a full NXWM spec Trident, as I was asked to draw one to represent Y717 TOH. As I had the NX spec drawn, I did NXWM livery, and then later Marshalls on an ex-Stagecoach London spec.

Nottingham again, this time one of NCT's Enviro 200s, in plain white and a fictitious driver training example. NCT have two E200 driver trainers, but are in the generic silver livery from the main fleet rather than the white livery carried by the double decker training buses. So I did one in the white livery to see what it would look like.

The newest bus drawing I've done so far is this Wright Solar. The first livery is an ex-TrentBarton Sixes after being bought by Connexions, prior the being painted, and the four together are based off the only rigid Solar that NCT operated, 528, in a variety of liveries that it never carried in real life - again, just to see what it would have looked like. It had gasket glazing.

These last two are a bit more random. The ALX400 was the result of just playing around in Paint.net one day, and based off a particular Gainsborough depot Trident I like. Meanwhile the E300 is basically if my pretend bus company bought the RoadCar operations off Stagecoach, and has had only the front painted at short notice to reflect the new ownership. I've had ideas for my own version of RoadCar since early 2020 and made loads of liveries and maps over the time, although I almost never post them because I'm forever changing them.
As per usual, the plain white buses are free to use/paint/edit.
