That's a nice looking bus! I dig the side doors. I'd probably delete the front door and just leave those big side doors.

I hear the 6.9l diesel is a dependable engine, but slow...

Just kidding I figured it out.

It looks to me like the side doors are just painted on the metal. What's that French term for painted-on details that means "fool the eye?"

I thought the same thing and thought about Wile E. Coyote painting the fake tunnels

I think the term you are searching for is Microsoft Paint

Thanks. I knew that's what it was, but also knew I would misspell it badly and embarrass myself.

Ah.. Well that's dumb. It looks believable on my 2" phone screen at least!

Don't feel bad. Looks believable on my 17.3" laptop monitor too.

We've been had by Photoshop!
