There's an ambulance in the Futurama episode where Leela is a baseball player, based this one on the blurry screenshot I got of it, so if something is off, leave me alone! :tongue:

Tried 6-wide this time, I hope its more or less in-scale with minifigs. Everything looks too small when you build 8-wide for so long.

And a quick and dirty mock up of a Leela minifig, pretty scary!

.... you mean Blernsball.

Now that that's out of the way.

FUN MOC!
Really nice work with the purple offset jumper plates. I'll have to ~~steal~~ remember to use that some time.
I have a vague recollection of the ambulance, before I opened this thread, but when I saw it - instantly recognizable.

Nice build, not much I can offer suggestion about.
Only thing that you could possibly change is the 1x1 plate on the door - maybe use a clip of some sort so you get a door handle?

PS - nice Leela ;)
(but why is she topless in the render?) *oh2*

Great idea to take futurama's vehicle for the modeling. :thumbup:

The multiformity of the future transport is a good food for thought!
The one remark from me. The prototype from the moovie has two back doors!

Thanksss!

Too lazy to paint Leela's details in that one picture :tongue:

Same for the rear doors, too lazy to figure out how to add them :tongue:

(The offset purple stripes block the space needed for double doors)

On the non-lazy side, I added that "bumper ridge" along the bottom edge because I think it looks better than the original model :) (then again, I can't tell if the bumper is already protruding in the picture haha)

Hello!

Although I am not a fan of the series, I like the design of your hover ambulance van. Its futuristic look makes it a perfect inspiration for various SciFi projects. :classic:

Cheers,
