[LDD MOC] Piaggio Ape

[KamalMYafi]

Hi!

This is my Creation. It's a Minifig Scale "Piaggio Ape".

Features: Rolling wheels (DUH!), fit one minifig and can load 'something' in the back.

BTW, Here's the image of the model :

There are one more picture in this Flickr album and I've writing a blog post with some more information (also instructions!).

PS: All parts and parts colour are exist in real life!

Looks quite nice! Also the detail of the back with the rounded slope! Needed too look very carefully before I understood the shadow ;)

A really nice one! It would look great in any 4-wide vehicled city.

Ape means Bee, though it hardly looks as one; it was first built as a spin-off from the Vespa (wasp) and it's getting closer to its 70th birhday.

I don't know about that previously, actually.

Four wide city? Much better in a 6+ wide city, it is very small in reality you know! I have a "coffee lovers" Piaggio Ape myself, inspired on one I saw IRL (something like):

Haha, great minds think alike! I also created a Piaggio Apé based on the "Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas", set 76026 when the first pictures hit the web well over a year ago.

I love Piaggio's, I live in Amsterdam and there's plenty of them over here. I made a couple variations and built some for real,

like this one: https://www.flickr.c...os/tags/piaggio and I built a hotdog car as well as a Surfboard transporter. I should photograph these I guess!

For the Pizza delivery van I also created instructions using Bricksmith, LPub and Photoshop, a very tiring and time-consuming process..

I gave the bricks and printed instructions (A5) in a small box with custom art as a birthday-present to a friend of my 5-year old son, as a testcase.

Results of the test: way too expensive and time-consuming!

Here's the instructions:

And the variations:

Here's the LXF: https://www.dropbox....rsions.lxf?dl=0

LEGO's available colors of the doors, roof and mudguards are limited..

I also have an LXF for the Pizzeria that can be seen on flickr, if anyone's interested.

Hi All!

You not post directly to the photo. So, it's hard to find. Please fix that.

But i've found your account on Flickr!
