MOC: Bus Eireann

[Dfenz]

First go at a Bus Eireann - livery, reg. plates etc. still to be added. As usual for me, its 7 studs wide.

Very nice 'Dfenz', though I have two tiny issues......1.) wheels are too small for such a tall bus and 2.) it's not wide enough to be so tall......you wouldn't want to go fast around corners with it would you ?

But still I like and the working headlights are a bonus !

Brick On......while on the buses 'Dfenz' !

Thanks for the feedback. I will look into reducing the height a little before finishing and adding decals. I'm happy with the wheel size even if my LEGO wheel range is rather limited.

That's okay, I feel it's about two brick height too much......use a real bus against the roof/ceiling heights of your modular buildings - compare to real life objects.

Cool bus, the design on the side is really neat The lights actually have lights behind them right? Great detail

[wooootles]

The side "paint scheme" is nice. It's a monstrous size--I think you can get away 10-wide-ing that!

is the bus dropping of a group of senior citizens for a movie? :)

Yes the wheels cold be bigger, but you are stuck with what you have

I would make it not as tall, or make the side windows bigger?

also the rear vision mirrors need to be one stud longer

otherwise I do like the bus and the paint on the sides

Very cool looking paint scheme well done! Great mirrors (still trying to workout how they are fixed) and nice touch with the headlights.

Thanks for sharing.

I've now reduced the height. Here is the next version - livery still to be added.

That's better......and I must say sorry, you are using larger wheels.....the hubs being black as well as the tyres - not so easy to see.

Keep going and Brick On 'Dfenz' !

The proportions look much better now. Anyway, very nice creation, especially the colour scheme on the sides.
