Stage Coach Ambush

[Klaus-Dieter]

Hello everybody!

Yesterday forenoon I designed a Western stage coach with LDD. Here is the result:

Stage Coach Ambush

Pieces: 278

Price: 36,88 Euros

Mr. Silver and his wife are on their trip through the big dessert with the stage coach. Suddenly bandit Miller and companion jump out of their hideout: "Hands up!" they shout to the coachman. Will Mr. Silver and his wife manage to escape - and with it safe the treasure? Everything lays in your hands!

This set includes the stage coach, coachman, Mr. Silver, his wife, bandit Miller and his companion, a skeletton, two horses and a lot of other nice accessory.

The bandits own a wheel gun, too:

You can open the roof of the stage cach in order to look and play inside:

More pics can be found at my BS folder (when public).

Sorry, but - like you surely notice - there are no wheels at the coach and the wheel gun since Factory regrettably doesn't offer them.

Comments are welcome!

looks fine, but I would use "real" lego horses.

Its LDD. And nice stagecoach. Its a shame theres no wheels though. Have you tried giving the blue jacketed bandit white arms. I always liked that torso better as a vest.

wow , it's hard to make this kind of moc with LDD, good job!

Wow! It's hard to make things such as western in LDD, nice job!

Thank you all very much for your nice comments!

Regrettably LDD doesn't offer "real" Lego horses, zorro3999, since there is only a very limited selection of bricks ( ).

Yes, I totally agree with you, Skinny Boy.

It's really a pity that TLG does limit the selection of bricks available for PAB and LDD.

I don't understand why they don't offer all (not licensed) bricks ( ) - but supposably that would be too expensive for them and us customers then.

And btw: I tried to change the arms. But you can't change parts of the torso in LDD.

Thanks, Guss and samthelegoman1!

I totally agree with you that - because of the very limited number of bricks - it's sometimes really difficult to design some Western MOCs with LDD.

I already tried some Western buildings with LDD:

Nicolas' Saloon

Court House

Legoredo Train Station

Western Street Scene

Max's General Store

Some of them were better, some were not that good.

But all in all I think that when you look at all the bricks available at the moment (not only in PAB and LDD but in general) there would be enough possibilities for a new Western theme or at least some Factory Western sets. So let's hope!
