Dennimator Posted July 27, 2009 I recently bought the set 7641, but I wasn´t too happy with the bus. It was too high. I decided to lower it 1 stud, removing the white advertising pieces. I also had to remove the doors and add smaller ones in order to this to work. Here´s the result: (I didn´t have any smoke windows, so I used transparent ones as a substitute. I will buy 2 smoke ones from BL soon to replace them. Oh, and the white piece will be replaced with a yellow one as well.) With doors opened: A close-up on the front door: I´m still not really happy with it, but IMO it´s much better than before. Please tell me what you think about it.

DaCheese Posted July 27, 2009 Excellent, looks better being slightly lower. What with living in the UK I built mine as per instructions, but mirrored for right hand drive. It took a bit of working out to say the least... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brickzone Posted July 27, 2009 Might try a height shortening too on my own one to see how it looks. I think it would look better with the 1x4x5 windowed doors (although can't get yellow with smoked glass). I like the effect of the shorter height, but I don't like the doors at all.

Milan Posted July 27, 2009 Same here. Bus looks great, but those doors looks kinda-not-belong here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueBard Posted July 27, 2009 I would say the same about the windows but your system is great and I like hoy wou followed the color scheme of the bus so nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dennimator Posted July 27, 2009 Ok so the average comment is; Bus lowering good, doors crap. Thanks guys for your feedback. I agree the doors look a bit out of place, but I´m working on improving them (I can´t use the old ones due to the lowering, but I have a few ideas in my head).

prateek Posted July 27, 2009 Good job. The doors are much more realistic now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eilif Posted July 28, 2009 I wouldn't say that the doors are crap. If anything, I think they look better than the original. It's just the gap that's a bit distracting. Now that the bus is lower, it looks longer (and consequently bigger) to my eye. Very nice job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I´m currently working on to remove the gap, and give the bus more realistic doors. I have a few ideas in my head, the problem is that I lack all the yellow plates I need in order to do so. I´ll probably get them off BL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
