rriggs Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) A LDD minifig scale design based on 15m Van Hool Acron coach First the side shots showing this to be UK spec with a door on each side of the vehicle and the large air con unit: Front 3/4 view with everything closed: Front 3/4 view with everything open: Close up of the front door mechanism: And a cutaway view of the luggage locker mechanisms: The driver's cockpit: The real thing: This is all done with buyable Factory pieces and comes to the princely sum of Edited July 13, 2008 by rriggs Quote
Basiliscus Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 This is really cool for a minifig scale vehicle! I really like the mechanism for the main door - very cleverly done. However, at 10 studs wide (from what I can see) would it not be a little too wide? Quote

I really like the mechanism for the main door - very cleverly done.However, at 10 studs wide (from what I can see) would it not be a little too wide? It started off at 8 studs wide to match with the larger of the new style City trucks but the proportions looked odd and the interior was cramped (struggle to fit minifigs side by side). 10 studs wide fixes both of these issues. It is wide compared to roadplates but no worse than the aforementioned trucks! Cheers Rog Quote
Squeaker Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Death button? Just kidding, awesome bus! I like the drivers area, the headrests are cool! How many people can fit in this bus, and do you have a link to the factory page? (I want one ) Quote

How many people can fit in this bus, and do you have a link to the factory page? (I want one ) I only just uploaded it to Factory and it's not showing up in my models yet. I'll post a link as soon as it does! As for the seating capacity, it will take 24 minifigs plus the driver plus a courier so 26 in total. The death button only ended up there because I wanted a control panel down by the driver's side. Next project is to give the coach some colour instead of just white and then a double-deck version.
