Volkswagen Type 2 T1 Bus

I'm nowhere near the famous MOCers but I too make instructions for my creations and make them public free afterwards.

Using mlcad and lpub it takes several times more to create BI than build the creation in real life. In fact more than 20-30 times more :/

And that for a non-technic build.

I will not enter in details, but there are many quick things I can tell you.

Can you earn some money if you do instructions?. Maybe, but you must be ready to do many things:

- Your creations must different to any other creation, and in a different way. Because there are many free instructions for really well done MOCs in the web(nico71 or madoca are good examples). For example my cars add many features and mechanicals solutions not avalable in any other MOCs.

- Your instructions must be done in high quality, I mean: forget LDD... and say hello to MLCad and LPub. The necessary work to do a high quality instructions is bigger than create the real MOC. More instructions means less time to do the funny part: create new MOCs.

- You must take on that the instructions will be share and sell without your permission by some people, and other people will be try to deceive you to get the instructions for free(specially on ebay).

- You will need to save many time every day to meet to your customers. Answer their emails, with their questions, requests and complaints(not everybody is happy with the product they have bought).

I have a job like a normal person, I have more or less 4 hours of free time daily and I spend around 2-3 hours of that free time to complete the last point of the list, and the other 2 hours to built with Lego, sometimes less... are you ready for that?

If you are ready, go ahead!! ;)

At least in my case you are very far with that numbers... maybe the first days after release a new instructions the sales will be like that. But a couple of weeks after that the sales are much lower.

Wow, much respect, that is alot of work. Thank you for sticking with it though so we can build your awesome models. This bus is really cool as well, love the chassis swap

Truly great MOC!

I love the way it looks, love how it works, just like the real one. But Amazing how it is sort of modular with the beetle

Excellent work again!
