Posted February 17, 20169 yr This is my mod of the Mystery Machine. I think LEGO did a great job with the set but I wanted the van to be able to fit all of the gang. The sides no longer open but the van has doors that open in back. The interior is chock full of detective gear and can fit 3 figs in the front and two in the back. More pics can be found here. Let me know what you think!
February 17, 20169 yr Wow! That is amazing. I've been thinking whether or not to get this set because it didn't fit the whole gang, but I will be getting it now. Instructions maybe? Edited February 17, 20169 yr by PickleManDan
February 18, 20169 yr Very nice mod. This is something I need to try because it looks so much more correct than the official set.
February 18, 20169 yr Awesome MOD, I had wondered how well the curved slopes would look on top but always lacked the parts to try it out, it really does look better. I would like to do something similar with my Mystery Machine, but the limited availability of the slopes and the lack of the corner piece in the correct color has put that upgrade to a halt. Maybe when the right parts are in production I'll give it a try. Love the back doors. I've been wanting back doors for a while, wasn't really sure how to do it with the limited space though. Major props for figuring that one out. I like how you positioned the wheels too. I didn't really care for how far they stuck out in the original build so I ended up adjusting that almost immediately after building the set.
February 19, 20169 yr Author Instructions maybe? I have an LDD file. I can't seem to add the attachment to the post but I can email you the file if your interested. Love the back doors.

The doors aren't perfect - there's some stress when opening and closing but it's acceptable. Yeah, the wheels really bugged me. I didn't like the style, that they stuck out and especially, that the hubcaps didn't move. I fixed all three issues. I also didn't like how square and open the wheel wells were so I fixed that as well. was anything added that wasn't in the set? Only the exterior front, lower sides and lower back are true to the original. The gutts of the build are almost completely different.

Could you possibly upload a picture of the wheel assembly?
February 19, 20169 yr I have an LDD file. I can't seem to add the attachment to the post but I can email you the file if your interested. Thanks, feel free to pm me.
February 21, 20169 yr You are making me reconsider buying the single Scooby Doo set left at my local store, which is the Mystery Machine. I can't believe you got everyone to fit so well.
February 26, 20169 yr Would you please send me the LDD file as well? My email is aceattorneyfreak@yahoo.com.
June 22, 20168 yr Sorry to bump this - could you PM me the LDD file as well? I'd like to mod mine as well.
June 22, 20168 yr Pm me as well, I know this thread is turning into "pm me bro" but I really want to mod mine xD
July 18, 20168 yr I hate to ask, but I would greatly appreciate you sending me the LDD file as well. If you want to host it on a site, you can always add a URL link in this post. If you need a website to host it, I use my personal comic and design website to host my LDD files, I can always download it, repost a link from my site with your credit of course for making it.

July 18, 20168 yr Sounds good, I would like a LDD file to check it out please! Great MOD, are there any more pictures? Go to his Flickr page link located in his post. There are so many beautiful photos there including all his other creations.
June 3, 20177 yr Oldie but a goodie I stress out so much trying to fit just 2 minifgs in the front seats of my cars, and here you go and mash 3 in there, madness haha I love it, and I don't even like ScoobyDoo.

October 30, 20213 yr Sorry for the necrobump.. But has anyone, who received it, the LDD file that flailx shared? I mainly need it for the underside of the car, but if someone could reengineer it from the Flicker photo's then that would also help a lot :)Â
