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

Luca,
the bus looks great, I think I’ll try making one.
I’m reposting to .trains as well. It’s not a train, but it would go nicely withe
a town layout, and the mirrior and door technique could be usefel for some types
of train.
