Here are a few pictures of the LEGO amphibus I built, inspired by the ones in
Ottawa. The colour scheme is from the Lady Dive, and the design is from the
Lady Duck (the little amphibus that I was on) and the Lady Dive.

A nice side view of the bus, which is 6 studs wide and 20 studs long- about the
maximum size for using LEGO road plates. The LEGO amphibus holds nine
mini-figures, including the driver.

This shot shows the boat-like front of the bus. The bottom uses special slopes
from (IIRC) a Space Police set. Seating is Landspeeder-style (though I used
the technique before the Landspeeder). I didn't use any chairs, but the bricks
supporting the roof form the back rests. There's a life preserver hanging on
the back of the bus.

Here is a horrible picture of the back of the bus. The back plate folds down
into a ramp, for the mini-figures to walk into the bus. They can even get to
their seats without climbing over anything, unlike some recent Town sets. The
propellors are those little 1x1 'rockets'.
