Hi to all!!!
I’m very happy to show you my last town creation. I’ve built a little town bus
fit for the Lego City scale, because it is 6 studs wide and about 6 bricks high.
This is the newest model which will be part of the public transport system of my
Legoland (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=86551):
The inspiration was taken from a MAN Midibus with electric traction. The
original bus is about 8,5/9 meter long that in Lego scale makes the model about
22 studs long. I’ve already built a lot of town buses in many scales, but for
the first time, I’ve tried to find a new way for opening the doors of the bus. I
think, a really good model fit for playing in a town scenery should have some
opening parts (doors, engine...). I was fed up with the Lego doors (none of the
Lego doors were close to the original bus)... this is what I’ve found:
I think the final effect is not bad.
If you like it, you can find more pictures (even of the door opening system too)
into my Brickshelf gallery:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=131805. It uses about 180
parts for a final weight of 175 grams. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
Bye,
Luca

| Even after my usual 'I am not a townie...' disclaimer, this is really great! I am very impressed with the scale and compact nature of the detail... I pay you the highest compliment at my disposal: You should build castle ; ) God Bless, Nathan (19 years ago, 12-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| That is definatly my favorite MOC of the year. I love it when a design with clever working details also looks just right, especially when it is all done in a compact space. That door design is brilliant in its simplicity (not that I think it was (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.town, FTX)
