04smallmj Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Hey everyone! A few months ago I remembered about this set and decided to rebuild it, from online instructions. Soon after that, I decided to destroy my camper and was inspired to use the roof pieces from that on the bus. I also added mirrors and and steps at the back. Here are some pics of the original bus. It should be blue but I used red because I couldn't remember which colour the original version was. Here is the new version I reduced the number of different colours and made the roof smoother. I had a trailer for the old version, but I removed the tow socket thing from this version. Please tell me what you think of it! Quote
Orcasek Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I like the roof, it does not look as if many people could go in though. Quote
04smallmj Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 I like the roof, it does not look as if many people could go in though. Thanks, 6 people can fit, including the driver. This is how big the original set was. Quote
MrTools Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I realy like the new design, the roof is definatly what makes it and makes the old one look unfinished. I also like how you used the same wheels as opposed to newer ones. Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I would say a marked improvement on the old design with that new front and higher roof ceiling ! Great work '04smallmj' and I'm a conformist! ! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Definitely a big improvement over the official one. I like the smoothness of the roof, but I'm not so sure about those studs sticking out of the wheels. Still, a pretty nice job recreating this minibus, 04smallmj! Quote

Ratshot Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Very nice, a very noticable improvement from the original bus. I have a lot of fond memories of this set, I used to run it up and down the coffe table hour after hour, little kids eh Quote
