kelceycoe Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I gave some suggestions for modding in the Scooby thread but I decided to give it a try with what I had. The rules I gave myself is no pieces that aren't already with the set. After I removed the kitchen and put it in the mansion, I made a homemade freezer with the orange and gray pieces and then lthat left me 4 1x2 white bricks. Here goes. If you mod this set with only these pieces you will destroy the playability. As an AFOL that's OK, I wanted something more closer to Scooby. All 4 Gang Members fit! The big thing is is to extend the seating area (double it). You're also removing the unncessary column that extended out. If you look at an actual Mystery Machine the blue waves suffice for the blue on the far end of the van. Unfortunately, they don't all fit in their actual order (front, left to right: Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, Fred) but they all four fit and so does Scooby, pretty well too without really sitting on them. You do sacrifice the space in the van's storage compartment and the empty view when looking in, past the gang. The gang also sits really close to one another but again at least they fit. Just look at the photos and see what I done. I just changed some of the pieces around. I kept to the "blue line" logistics of the van, although I really wanted the windshield to sit directly without the blue bricks underneath (it looks better actually, except for the missing blue line that should be there). You can also see some fun I had with CMF14 being added and the new kitchen I designed with extra pieces after modding the Mystery Van. Don't buy a second Mystery Van to mod this. The windshield had to be longer to actually double the width. Also note I removed all the bricks from under the controls in the front. Check them out through Dropbox (EuroBricks won't let me upload them)" https://www.dropbox.com/sh/npohrfqdxuwzw9d/AAC6NgV_KN-H01M8_5UdyBIsa?dl=0 Quote

Bricky Dee Williams Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Your Dropbox link doesn't work . . . Your Dropbox link doesn't work . . . I'm getting that too. Looking forward to it though! Quote
kelceycoe Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 This is the old mod and what was in the old link. I videoed the new mod along with my mansion and Ghostbusters Ecto-1 mods. I'll add those when I feel like it. But for now... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y7mwrrjbnccvxz6/AABZ6faMLeED8zOczCcIxBnVa?dl=0 Quote
Moelli Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Don't buy a second Mystery Van to mod this. Does that mean, you didn't have to use additional parts at all? Quote
