Old bones...

[Hoexbroe]

"New soup on old bones". Some of you guys might say that about this presentation; and you would be right; Not much new to see here. This is mostly a collection of some reconstructions/modifications/borrowing of previous models, styles and tecniques...

These are some of the compenents of the upcoming "One Big MOC 2". (mind you; not to confuse with the MegaMOC 2013!)

First off, yet another rendition of my favorite 2CV.

This time as an authentic delivery-truck for the spanish company "Panrico";

Next, the lovely Ford Capri returns. It has been completely rebuild, and finally I have solved a problem I had with the rear of it -some years ago. (Curiously enough it only took a moment to figure out what I then could not solve in DAYS, when I originally built it...)

It is now one plate shorter in the front, and 1,5 plates shorter at the rear, making it much more true to the original prototype...

I have also reversed-engineered MJaspers lovely Mercedes. This is MY version of it;

I´ve included a photo of the clever front. I dont think I have seen anybody discolse how it is done. I did it using 2x3 wedgeplates...

And now, for a "Friendly" bus;

Thanks to all the "Friends" for the Bright Cyan...

A nice 50´ies-60´ies truck (In medium blue);

Oops! It seems that the blue building in the background has been very nice focused by the camera! (Yes, I blame the electronics in my camera, of course!)

The Citroën DS20 in beige (sorry; "tan") colour;

The VW T1 slightly modified...

The Plymouth Fury also re-appears. This time with correct transclear headlights. (Less evil-looking);

What is this... a joke¿? -A costum based on a 2CV¿? Gotta be kidding?!

The forklift from the One Big MOC some 4 years ago has been rebuild for this ocasion;

A Citroën Type H van in glazier version;

Sorry to all german polizei-fans. This was NOT intentional... :-/

A transporter-truck, for some of my (many) 2CVs;

And finally a "sneak-peak" of the WIP at One Big MOC 2;

That´s all for now!

Those vehicles are amazing work! I especially love the Bus and the Donuts vehicles the most!

[CityBuilder]

Very lovely cars you have there. My favorite one being the Mercedes benz. Also out of curiosity what was the problem you had on the Ford Capri?

[LegoSjaak]

You are truly an artist!!!!

[castor-troy]

I work for a group of Citroën car dealers : Your interpretation of the famous 2 CV, DS and type H (le "tube" in french) are fantastic.

Great job

Bravo

[Wout]

Wow, these are great! Well done!

[jimmynick]

Well done, Hoexbroe! These all look wonderful, and I really like the half-stud difference from the body to the roof on each side of the Ford Capri. After that, my favourite is the DS - the windscreen wipers for that car are really clever.

[lightningtiger]

Another person who raises the bar........AWESOME vehicles.....that donut van is my favourite of your designs ever......second would be the red Ford Capri......love it !

Now I can't wait to see your factory 'Hoexbroe'......keep them coming and Brick On !

[dundarach]

Awesome - going to build some of these :-)

[kermit]

That bus is my favorite.

[L@go]

As always some lovely builds here, I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished big MOC! The DS is particularly nice, and the Type H is great, especially the side with the windows. You really have a thing for Citroëns, don't you? I don't blame you. I grew up with a BX, a CX and an XM - all very nice cars, in their own way :)

[timmyc1983]

Wow, fantastic vehicles there, all of them!! My favourite is the yellow donut van, it's so cute :D and I really lie the bus and the Ford Capri as runners up!

I can't wait to see your big layout, it so far looks amazing, happy building

[LEGO Guy Bri]

Fantastic array of vintage vehicles Hoexbroe! The bus is definitely my favorite

[The Dutch Guy]

What a wonderfull set of vehicles Hoexbroe. The Friends bus and 2CV are realy great. Thanks for sharing.

[NoEinstein]

That donut 2CV really brings back childhood memories. I should build it in white/tan and show it to my brother. See if he remembers us jumping up and down on it as small kids. Our uncle told us our aunt was going to sent it to the scrap yard so we could use it as a trampoline. When our aunt saw us doing our thing, lets put it like this she went . Uncle sorted it out and we had a blast.

Love the T1, DS20 (aka pike or snoek in Dutch) and friends bus also.

Thanks for all great inspiration!

[Hoexbroe]

Thanks a lot guys, for all the nice comments!

Less than one month remain for the expo where the whole diorama will be shown!

[SlimShady]

Fantastic work! Every model is perfect.

[Hoexbroe]

Also out of curiosity what was the problem you had on the Ford Capri?

The back part was too long! This one is 1,5 plates shorter. (As mentioned, also the front was shortened 1 plate, although that was not a "problem-area")

You really have a thing for Citroëns, don't you?

Actually... I dont!!! I know that it must sound strange, with all those Citroën-thingies I keep pumping out, but it is just a coincidence of me having been lucky in reproducing their characteristic shapes. These cars are much better than anything else I have done, so I have just stayed with them, trying to incorporate them into bigger dio´s.

I dont own a Citroën. Havent owned one ever, and dont have any plans for owing one... (Now I also have to include that Idont have anything AGAINST them either. LOL)

I can't wait to see your big layout, it so far looks amazing

The whole dio will be presented at the end of this month. At the HispaLUG Expo 2013 in Madrid.

Oh wow, these are all great cars, but that Plymouth Fury is awesome. It might just be my natural love for cars of that style, but that is just beautiful! Any place I could see more pictures of that?

[Luke Styer]

Beautiful cars! All so distinctive, realistic and wonderfully scaled.

Very nice! Ford Capri and the bus are my favorites! I love the color of the bus.

[ER0L]

Oh no, those bones never get old ... It's always nice to see them again or rather variations of them. And I like the idea of renewing and improving things. Sometimes you get a new idea after years or there is a new part that allows things that weren't possible before.

Since you know that I am a big fan of your cars I don't have to repeat my praise upon all of them here. But that bus - which must be new, I guess? - is just amazing, those colors, curves and patterns really meet the style of an old-fashioned bus, maybe from the Sixties.

One aspect that strikes me is the fact that a bus and a full-size car like the Plymouth have the same width in your preferred scale - that's exactly my idea concerning that matter ...

Anyhow looking forward to the Big MOC - a railway station?

Thanks. I quite agree that the bus could have been 7-wide. But my collection of bright cyan pieces didnt allow me too much margin. (Also the small train is already 7-wide) So again; Lots of comprimises...

It´s NOT a railway station. Nice try! ;-)

[ER0L]

Oh well, that would have been too obvious ...

Regarding the question of width I was quite serious - it seems to be working although you wouldn't think so before. I had a similar problem and came to the same conclusion: a bus is as wide as a full-size car (7w in my preferred scale).

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Hey these are all pieces of art! :wub:

Very well done ...as usual my lego friend!
