Hmm... the driver looks custom.

I wonder what it's scale is to Technic figures.

[EyesOnly]

I thought that was a chair. It looks like one of those battle droids from starwars. *vader*

[JINZONINGEN73]

Indeed... Technic's ULTIMATE FAILURE... noone around to drive the vehicles you build. :-|

[EyesOnly]

But at least it's good for the environment seeing as it's prolly powered by electric motors, *y* unlike those big polluting beast used to haul spaceships around. :-P

This guy only has this single picture of the bus for now, but he has a whole gallery for the older version:

You can see that the doors are actually pneumatic, so I'm not sure about what the cogs in the top are for. It is quite a huge creation and I hope he will keep his promise and post more pictures of the new version.

LOL, I decided to look at the oldest threads to see how far back they go, and I found this! (sorry to bump a REALLY old thread!)

one of my creations was on here more than 3 years before I even joined Eurobricks!

I will make another awesome moc eventually, I just never seem to have the time.

This is definitely my best creation, back when I could actually make decent stuff. last year, I started building it again from deconstruction photos, and I measured some real buses, realizing that I had actually made a bus amazingly close to a real one with the scale of the wheels! I also won a local LEGO building competition, with a $100 prize

the following few years was a shadow period. I still had all my LEGO, but I didn't really do much with it. The last two years in particular has been hell, and then it got worse

a side effect of this was leaving uni, and getting work, which meant that I can afford LEGO, so I got lots, but haven't really made a heck of a lot yet. (I am currently building the Silver Champion that arrived this week)

a couple of things about the bus: the doors are pneumatic, and the gears at the top are so both doors open at the same time. It probably isn't the best way to do it, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

it also has steering connected to the steering wheel, and the steering knob all the way at the back!

there is also a V6 engine connected to the middle set of wheels, but that's about all apart from lots of seats and a removable roof.

the panels are really crazy because I didn't really have all that much, and the bus used just about every single red part I had!

I could probably build a better one now, using the mini LA's for the doors, pneumatic kneeling, and suspension, plus I have a lot more red parts (and 8 unimog wheels )

Oh, and lastly, here are a couple more pics of it, I guess I never got round to updating it! here is my old brickshelf folder, which I made before I changed my online name to MattTheTubaGuy
