Here is an MOC of the star of one of my all-time favorite movies, Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang. Though I built her over a year ago, I’ve only recently taken
the time to snap off some pics (The girth of the minifigs necessitated that I
exclude Truly:-() One other disappointment was not being able to utilize the
newer, Adventurers wheels (not available in red yet) mounted on a 2 x4 plate
with pins, rather than the old bulky and unsightly 2x4 brick wheel holders.
There are some clever building techniques, mostly as a result from consultations
with my 12 year son, Ross;-)
Hope you enjoy my fine, four-fendered friend!
JOHN

| (...) John, Such a fun MOC. Now I'm sitting at my desk with the Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang song running through my head. Maybe this should be cross-posted to .Disney? Was this a Disney movie? Or am I just getting mixed up with Mary Poppins? Bruce (21 years ago, 4-Sep-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.disney, FTX)

| (...) John, This is really great. I saw CCBB a few months ago, and was wondering how well one could make a CCBB in LEgo, I see you can do it very well.
