   Hi all,



My latest MOC, a ZiL 158 series bus. It is fully buildable although the yellow arches cost a small fortune.

With thanks to Tim David and William Howard I managed to get one of these built. Thanks to the masses of SNOT and some choices I had to make to do with available bricks the bus weighs a tonne... which is probably prototypical.

Looks great! I do miss the sand green 1x1 tile on the headlight brick towards the rear though.

I miss it too. When I get a sand green headlight brick I’ll put it back but I’m trying to steer clear of BL for the time being ;)

   I really want to build on of these for myself. I just love the look of it with the slopes and all. I am actually working on a trolley with similar lines and sloping rear end that was heavily inspired by this.

Based on these that I found in Brooklyn: http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=933468

Very nice proto. I have to strongly recommend looking at this (and more after clicking up) and this too. I stole a lot conceptually from both vehicles.

  
   PS. It has been suggested to me that maybe I should post more often with pics of real builds (if only to prove I do them ;) ) so I’m trying it out. If you consider this post forum spam let me know and I won’t repeat it.

I know I don’t consider this spam. I’d love to see more!

Thanks. I’ll try to do it more in future.

   Best,

Jonathan

Tim
