jonwil Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Here is the latest version of my Mercedes Benz OC500LE bus in Transperth colors: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonwil/mocs/bus1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonwil/mocs/bus2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonwil/mocs/bus3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonwil/mocs/bus4.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonwil/mocs/bus5.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonwil/mocs/bus6.jpg I have changed the air conditioning unit on the top, the front and side destination signs, the number plates, the black bits at the rear sides (including the grills) and the front lights at the top corners. I still have plans for decals in the future but I havent come up with suitable decals yet (plus my printer wont print 100% yellow for some reason, making the destination signs difficult) Quote

It looks great. The only thing I see wrong about it is that it is just a bit too short. Great job though! Quote
jonwil Posted July 2, 2010 Author Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Very nice job! It looks great. The only thing I see wrong about it is that it is just a bit too short. Great job though! If I made it longer, it would look too long for the width so I would need to make it 10 wide (which would look out of place on our layout) BTW, the second bus in one of the pictures is a second copy I am working on for the layout (and dont have all the bits for yet) Edited July 2, 2010 by jonwil Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Not bad 'jonwil' not bad at all ! But my only problem with your bus is the front windscreen, you use that 6 wide piece dead centre and using 1x1 smoke cheese pieces with bricks with studs for support might look better. Anyway nice work and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
jonwil Posted July 2, 2010 Author Posted July 2, 2010 If the 1 x 1 round brick or 1 x 1 brick existed in trans-smoke, I would have put the windscreen dead center and 1 x 1 round bricks (or 1 x 1 bricks) on the sides. As for the cheese idea, it would be hard to get things to line up and look good (I just tested it myself quickly with various cheese slopes and other parts I had available) Plus, I dont own enough trans-black cheese to do it, not for 2 copies of the bus :) Quote
