It was some delay, but I'm working again on the bus. Roof is under construction now, and maybe I will done before the end of the year. :)

That is good news :thumbup:

Some picture, but need to order some white panels and liftarms :)

All pneumatics function on the roof. Manual and electric pumping function, and lot of pneumatic switches. 

Switches to all door, and rise/lower the chassis - and combinations (all door at the same time, all rising pump at the same time)

 

I will build 3 removable hoods, these will hide the switches.

Honestly @josszo it looks great, proportions are good, whole model is rounded up.

What a great Project. It reminds me to my childhood. I used the similar in GDR to reach the "kindergarten". After all the good memories, I started als a LEGO- Articulated Bus. Its a Mercedes Benz CapaCity L.

One of my next projects is a full remote controlled Capacity Bus :)

Size is a problem. This articulated ikarus is 1 meter long, Capacity with 4 axle will be bigger :S

So it is a huge project.

...with huge parts number. As I can see Ikarus bus is very good, so new project; Mercedes Benz CapacityL would be very interesting, at least here is one suggestion - use shield with Mercedes star from 42043 set :thumbup:

:pir-laugh:

I have 2 spare Arocs set, so it is possible to use this shield.

But, what do you think about a red remote controlled ikarus trolleybus? It is other big plan. 14 function, with 7 function switch with at least 8 motor.

It is other big plan :)

Don't link any picture, it will be surprise later. :)

Maybe close enough, but always need to order other parts too. Usually I chose interesting, and rare colors :)

+1 for the red trolibusz ;)

Do you know already how you will create the middle section on this bus (which looks amazing btw)?

The structure of middle section is almost done, Tomorrow I take pictures. 

The rubber corridor is the most difficult:

I could work with only lego pieces, but it would not realistic.

I choose other way, I will use black hard papers, and do some origami. It will be fine, such as the real :)

I know, need a better camera, but here are the pictures about the middle section.

On the roof, there are stabilizer arms, such as in the real world :)

It is only visual effect, but behave as the real

I'm in the finish line. All bodywork is ready, only need to finish the difficult tubing. I'm ready with the 1/4 of the tubing, I think. My plan is to finish in this year :)

I have ambivalent feelings: 1. It is a bus. 2. It is awesome! :thumbup: :classic:

Here is the tubing between the front and the rear unit. Needed to create a flexible system, that can rotate, when the bus is steering.

Can add "multi level tubing" name of this creation :)
