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

propellors are those little 1x1 'rockets'.

Pictures of a real amphibus can be seen a www.amphibus.com

I can't see the pictures, are the links correct?

(...) geocities doesn't want you to link to the JPGs, because then the viewer won't see the ads. The JPGs must be put in pages, and you must link to the pages, not the images. This is true even if you've paid for ad-free space. I'd like to know how (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.loc.ca.on.ott)
