Excellent design and size of this bus! :thumbup:

However, the wheels really seem too small for such a heavy beast. You should go for the next bigger ones.

I agree with you DJ Force that the wheels are too small for the bus... I am trying to find a bigger set but I think I am limited to what LDD has to offer. I did order the bus anyways. I will see what it looks like when I get it!

LDD has bigger wheels, hasn´t it? Just pick them :thumbup:

Yes, LDD has bigger wheels but they just won't fit on an 8 studs wide creation. Also, I don't want to increase the size of the wheel well... :cry_happy:

An 8-wide creation with the bigger wheels...

On your bus you should use the bigger wheels but round off the wheel wells so the increase in size of the well is subtle.

Nice to see this, just today I built a bus too. It has been just a triaĺ attempt, from parts which I actually found. I am not a MOC builder, sadly I can much better deal with Lego than build. I used same door type and same windows too. As I built 8-wide bus like you, I can strongly suggest you to change wheels to 30,4 x 14 as below. They looks much better than the small ones...Just the length of the bus should be around 40 studs for those wheels..mine was 23, too short..

You could also try these wheels if they're still available in LDD link

Im sure you can make some simple mods to accomodate larger wheels, but the overall shape of bus looks nice :thumbup:
