7641 City Corner Mods

[Matt Dawson]

Firstly, some mods to the Pizzeria (or however you spell it) interior:

The Chef minifig, drumstick and the dispensor/bin come from set 8398 BBQ Stand. Afterall, you wouldn't expect the chef to be waiter as well?

The Bike shop next:

The tool rack has been removed to my rail yard baseplate and replaced with a fuller rack, featuring drill, Oil can, Utensil Box and Open End Wrenches.

The roof has been fitted with a dish and the flag has been moved to the roof, and it's space filled with a 1x1 blue plate that was left over.

And finally, the Bus:

The Bus has had several mods;

> Bus 'mirrored' to be British right hand drive version

> The front has had the yellow plates removed to the top of the window to create a typical 'british' look (i.e. the seats at the rear of the bus are higher than the front)

> The interior at the rear has been modified to create a full width back set with small luggage space behind, and a raised floor created.

> The middle passenger seats have been lowered one plate to be more minifig friendly.

> The roof has been modified to create a more 'even' look. More plates added to create a 'roof raised for equipment' look.

Good to see creativity comes in all shapes and sizes :) I modded my bus to a left hand drive as well... can't have my Aussie citizens getting onto a bus in the middle of the street!

good suggestions

nice how you added some place in the bus. I also think the bike shop needs something extra, so this is a good start. I am thinking of adding some building to mine, and add some extra bikes and a counter or something

I've modified the roof after I decided to cannabilise one of my Viking sets (well, I don't find Viking Lego my cup of tea...);

Great MODs. The condiment dispensers really make sense
