  Now, because I have pasted the ads for 1month+ and I want to change it back to SMRT. Heres the steps:

  Firstly,place the paper onto the bus.

  

  Press the outline of the bus.
  

  After pressing the outline,it will be this.
  

  Cut out the the outline.
  

  And you will get this.
  

  Then, remember to cut to a few pieces as when paper touches the glue, it will expand abit.
  

  Glue the paper onto ur bus.(For me, normal paper suits my bus)
   

  After pasting the bus, u will get something lke this.
  
  
  (For full body ads, u can stop here)

  Then, cut the red tape and paste onto the bus.
  
  

  Do the same for black tape and u will get this.
  
  

  Lastly, put on the SMRT logoand its complete.
  
  
  

  What if we pasted too much on the bus?

  If we keep changing advertisement, we would be pasting a new livery over a old one right? So what would happen to the bus if we keep on changing the advertisement?

  Nothing will happen if you yourself can guanrantee that the livery which is sprayed on, is well on the product.

  If u have used paintmarkers to paint the new livery of the bus, then after tearing down the pasted ads, it will have paint cracks like those on real buses.

  If its the original livery when you bought it, after tearing down the ads, normally there is no problem, but becareful to check how thick is the livery coated first before pasting the first ad.

  Best is to use normal A4 computer paper and transparent watery glue that can be found in NTUCs, cheap ones.

  Ok..
  I still dare not to touch my City Transit Dennis...1st bus was a advertisement with Snoopy but I coloured it with my white marker and hence it isn't nice...2nd bus was a City Transit livery which is like SBS Transit. Tried your method but still cannot really do it and was looking for other ways..

  That model is a 1:32 scale woodcraft model. I know a maker who does this kind of model but its customized.

  1:76 you can talk to the staff.

  I just tried using the adhesive white stickers but seem not the best choice. Here are some photos. Not very well done, will probably try the paper and glue method next.
