Buster the Jalopy with Princess Unikitty & Joey the Snail - LDD MO

[Murdoch17]

For a while now, Unikitty has been scouting out a new place to create Cloud Cuckoo Land anew. To do this she needs transportation, and so she had her friend Joey the snail help her find a new car, which happened to turn out to be Buster the vintage motor car. He doesn't drive very fast, but no-one minds: it's all about the journey to getting from point "A" to point "B" and having fun along the way.

As an added bonus, Buster has been around the block a few times and knows all the best roadside attractions and sights to see along highways, back roads and dirt trails of the LEGO World. Plus, Buster has been modified to run on Unikitty's boundless imagination and cheery attitude so no longer do they have to stop for gasoline. Unfortunately, Buster has a very temperamental engine, so Joey volunteers as the Mechanic for their journeys across the LEGO landscape while they search for a new home.

Here we see (from left to right) Buster the vintage motor car, Princess Unikitty, and Joey the Snail.

Buster was originally in yellow as a version of Doctor Who's car "Bessie". I then added eyes one afternoon last week as a idea of "what if Bessie was living and could talk". I then decided Bessie would go better with Unikitty because she is a bit more whimsical than the Doctor. I also added the snail from the Cloud Cuckoo Land set as Bessie's (now repainted red and renamed Buster) mechanic. By the way: The name "Joey the snail" came from my Sister's old blog where she had a beanie-baby-like frog named Legs as the star of the blog with a guest star Joey the Snail appearing on the home page occasionally... she quit writing the blog about three years ago, and I appropriated Joey and placed the snail from the LEGO Movie set as him once it was revealed to keep it alive, in a way.

Anyway, here is the rear view showcasing the seats for Unikitty (front) and Joey (rear) . You can also see the spare tire from here.

Here is the LDD file, if anyone wants it: http://www.mocpages....1447963356m.lxf

EDIT: This moc should be built after the doctor who set comes out, around the first week of December.

Looking good.

I just started LDD-ing, and It definitely needs some getting used to.

Hmm, I think this is a bit more The LEGO Movie, so I will move it across to Special Themes.

Love it, especially the background story! :-)

Thanks! I continued the theme idea in this thread: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=117525#entry2390087

Thanks, I wasn't sure where to put it!

Thanks you! Yeah, ldd can be a great tool once you get to know it... if only Lego would update it!
