Marcopolo II
[www.patreon.com]
hello comrades
In this asset, I bring a bus body model that was very popular in Brazil and in some Latin American countries in the 70s.
The production of this model bodywork started in 1971 and ended in 1975 (its successor Marcopolo III went into production at the end of 1974).
For me this model of bus represents a lot, especially with the painting of this company, TransCampos, a local company (now extinct) that connected two small towns in the interior of my state.
Me, my brother and my mother sometimes traveled on this exact model of bus, the route was always a dirt road (often in poor condition), either in one direction to go near the case of my maternal grandparents, or else , in the other direction to the largest city in the region, Pelotas (Rio Grande do Sul).
The journeys were always slow and sick of the vehicle rocking on the road, countless times I, my brother or random passengers ended up vomiting through the windows… On bad days someone vomited inside the vehicle and the odor made the journey even more unbearable.
Finally, here is my humble creation, I hope you like it.
