[WIP] Ikarus 280 Articulated Bus

[josszo]

Difficult only the first look. :)

[Boulderer]

I'd love to know if you got it all connected correctly the first time 

[josszo]

There is a shematic. 3 levels of tubing, with other functions. So not too complicated, but need to test a little bit :)

 

[josszo]

Nearly end of the projekt:

Need only to develop the rubber corridor. All attachment point is done for the corridor, the pneumatic functions work well.

So much tubing! I applaud your work, this is one of the greatest complex pneumatic models I have ever seen. How many meters of tubes are there?

[josszo]

Between 15 and 20 meters pipe have been used.

Woah, technical engineering applause "clap clap clap!"

Is it done?

[josszo]

It is 99,99% done, need only to do a rubber corridor.

The size does matter :)

Here is a Model Team 5550 for reference size.

And the return of the Jedi's:

...15-20 meters . this is the most complex pneumatic tubing I saw (so far). I'm glad that you have (almost) finnished your moc 

[josszo]

Not final pictures yet:

[Aventador2004]

Well, long journey well worth the model.

[josszo]

Some paperwork finally. 2 item from this will do the articulate unit. Paper, but flexible, and made without cut anything. It is from 1 piece of hard paper.

 

These are the last parts and finally it's DONE

I use pneumatic "T" connectors and technic pins to hold on place the unit.

 

[Mechbuilds]

Excellent papercraft. It's impressive that it's only one piece. 

[josszo]

Finally installed the articulated unit:

I will do a good quality video with the functions.

[Mechbuilds]

If only i could interest you in making purely technic based spaceships.. 

[anatem]

I love this, the articulated section is perfect and the amount of tubes you got in there is amazing.

[ArsMan064]

Wow, model is extremely huge! I remember these bus in my town :)

[josszo]

Some better pictures:

The roof control units:

The articulated unit made from hard paper:

The compressed air suspension is working fine :)

 

[Jaromir]

Amazing....

Hello everybody,

 

I also built an articulated bus. I was inspired by the Mercedes Benz CapaCityL I saw on a youtube video and when I visited Hamburg right there.

Then I saw this threat and I will also show you my bus.

On follow video link you can see the final result.

Steffen Kroll, it is very nice bus, but I have one suggestion - perhaps you should open new topic, and post additional images.

My right name is Steffen Kroll.

Maybe I can do this tomorrow, when I have more time to write and to collect good pictures.
