Etzel Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Today I got the new Camper set (# 7639), one of few city sets of mine actually. I'm more of a Castle/Pirates guy Anyway, I loved this set and I finally got a bike! I had one when I was a kid but it was broken several times and was no use (it's still in my old collection back at my dad's house). With the new bike and it's wheels I could finally try to make something I've had in mind for a long time, a wheelchair: It's easy to take of the arm rests and put in a joystick instead: Back with handles and tip guard (is that the right word in english?): A few more pictures can be found here when public: Brickshelf I would like to give credit to Ricecracker for the way to attach the wheels with this piece. Thank you for watching, please tell me what you think of it if you want to /Etzel Quote
cms634 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I must say, that is VERY good. That leg technique could certainly get you some Lego fame... Quote
JDHinten Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I must say, that is VERY good.That leg technique could certainly get you some Lego fame... I'll agree that this is very good, however that leg technique has been around for quite some time now ;). Quote
cms634 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Meh, I thought it might have been. Either way, it's still so creative! Quote
HumanPackMule Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Very cool! I'll have to try that some time. Quote
BlueBard Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Very beutiful design! And I must say this is one of the first wheelchairs really MF style, I mean not oversized Quote
Eilif Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Great job! I've seen a couple versions of LEGO wheelchairs, and this is by far the least bulky meathod that actually uses minifig legs. The joystick control suggesting a powered chair is very effective. I think it's time to take apart one of my bicycles! Quote
SeaKing61 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Wow, that's the best minifig scale wheelchair i've seen. It's certainly very realistic. I work at a special school and a lot of the kids are in wheelchairs. I like the way it can swap between powered and manual. Laurie Quote
Aliencat Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Excellent job! Indeed a very realistic looking minifig scale wheel chair, that's great :D Quote
Etzel Posted June 2, 2009 Author Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Thank you everyone! I'm quite proud of this one really I've made some instruction photos of how to make it if anyone is interested: All the parts that is needed Construction 1 Construction 2 Done! Enjoy!

prateek Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 ohlala very good job Etzel my only gripe is that a regular fig can't sit on it Quote
Zuntir Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Wow, truly amazing! Best wheelcahir i've ever seen. Thank you for instruction. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Absolutely outstanding wheelchair Etzel. It's so nicely to scale, and it just looks so smooth. I'll certainly keep the design in mind. Quote
Davey Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Very realistic and you nailed the scale! Very innovative and well done. Keep up the great work. Quote
Luke McAwesome Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Brilliant, well played, good sir. Thanks for the construction photos! Quote
Wout Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Very nice. I knewed someone who had a elektrick wheelchair with a boombox on its back, maybe I can try to make something like that now. Quote
Guss Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 superb wheelchair! I love it ! and thanks a lot for the instruction, as the design is perfect, If I need one, I'm going to use it Quote
74louloute Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Very nice use of those wheels for a great idea. The design is very smooth, thanks for sharing the instructions. Quote
General Armendariz Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 What happened to the vacation dude? Oh no! one minute I see him in a RV next hes in a wheel chair! Very nice wheel chair Quote
BlueBard Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I'm gonna try your design for my City display but I've a doubt: there's a proper connexion betweeen the legs and the green modified bricks or they're just "supported" by them? Thanks! Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I'm not much around in this forum, but I think this is really nice. You've used some smart techniques on it and it looks very realistic. You're a great builder Etzel! Quote
escortmad79 Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Thank you everyone! I'm quite proud of this one really I've made some instruction photos of how to make it if anyone is interested: All the parts that is needed Construction 1 Construction 2 Done! Enjoy! Nice one, spotted this on Flickr the other day & wondered how it was made! Quote
