Etzel Posted June 2, 2009 Today I got the new Camper set (# 7639), one of few city sets of mine actually. I'm more of a Castle/Pirates guy Anyway, I loved this set and I finally got a bike! I had one when I was a kid but it was broken several times and was no use (it's still in my old collection back at my dad's house). With the new bike and it's wheels I could finally try to make something I've had in mind for a long time, a wheelchair: It's easy to take of the arm rests and put in a joystick instead: Back with handles and tip guard (is that the right word in english?): A few more pictures can be found here when public: Brickshelf I would like to give credit to Ricecracker for the way to attach the wheels with this piece. Thank you for watching, please tell me what you think of it if you want to /Etzel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cms634 Posted June 2, 2009 I must say, that is VERY good. That leg technique could certainly get you some Lego fame... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDHinten Posted June 2, 2009 I must say, that is VERY good.That leg technique could certainly get you some Lego fame... I'll agree that this is very good, however that leg technique has been around for quite some time now ;). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cms634 Posted June 2, 2009 Meh, I thought it might have been. Either way, it's still so creative! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HumanPackMule Posted June 2, 2009 Very cool! I'll have to try that some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueBard Posted June 2, 2009 Very beutiful design! And I must say this is one of the first wheelchairs really MF style, I mean not oversized Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eilif Posted June 2, 2009 Great job! I've seen a couple versions of LEGO wheelchairs, and this is by far the least bulky meathod that actually uses minifig legs. The joystick control suggesting a powered chair is very effective. I think it's time to take apart one of my bicycles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeaKing61 Posted June 2, 2009 Wow, that's the best minifig scale wheelchair i've seen. It's certainly very realistic. I work at a special school and a lot of the kids are in wheelchairs. I like the way it can swap between powered and manual. Laurie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueBard Posted June 17, 2009 I'm gonna try your design for my City display but I've a doubt: there's a proper connexion betweeen the legs and the green modified bricks or they're just "supported" by them? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Blackmoor Posted June 18, 2009 I'm not much around in this forum, but I think this is really nice. You've used some smart techniques on it and it looks very realistic. You're a great builder Etzel! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
