Posted December 27, 20168 yr I am not a LEGO Purist. I used LEGO brand parts, but I also used custom parts as well as other brand parts to finish this piece. Brick arms makes awesome clips that made this possible. My current build is missing one 2x2 tile or a 1x6 tile. I somehow misordered from Chrome Block City. I cannot decide whether I should place a 1x6 over the windscreen piece or keep two 1x2 tiles on the sides and a 2x2 tile in the middle. Twin Pines time machine premiere scene. 1. Doc Brown's Value Van 2. Libian's VW van based on LEGO Dimensions version. 3. Diarama for them based on LEGO Dimensions scene. I built my own Doc Brown Value Van. The van is based on the LEGO Dimensions version, except I fixed the proportions and included a movie accurate interior based on movie scene stills. My van is 2 studs longer and the interior is lowered to how the real van looks. Since we never see directly inside the van in focus, there is great scene where Mary and Doc are playing RC car with it and the van is behind them. Only problem, its out of focus. There is a ramp inside the van to go over the wheel wells. The Time Machine sits inside perfectly. There are two tool chests inside with some sort of canisters on top. Not sure what they are since we never see inside it, just from quick stills I saw. The van is 10 studs wide. Feels huge, but since I built the car at 7 studs wide, the vehicle will look great next to it. For accurate proportions, I used this modified Value Van P-60 food truck as proportion reference. Otherwise, for actual Brown's van I used the movie. Before you ask, Yes I flipped the wheels intentionally. The front rims always stick out towards the side, rear wheels almost always are inverted on large trucks and semi trucks. Fun fact, I used a GMC P-60 spec sheet to figure out its bottom steering column and frame. There is plenty of room inside the engine area if I ever want to make the steering actually work, but I decided its for display only. LDD File:LDD FILE for Doc Brown's Value Van 12/26/16 Hill Valley Square: I plan on doing the hill valley square someday, so that may look sweet. Orion Pax did one and I need a place to sit my model. He also did other cars and such, which I may do as well. I already want to recreate the Libian's scene. LEGO Dimensions did a great job on the model and I want to build that version and place the all on a baseplate diorama for scenery. LDD File: LDD FILE Time Machine DeLorean Package 12/27/16 The Time Machine: Chrome Block City: Aluminum coated LEGO parts. My most expensive model ever. Brickarms: Just like my Ghostbusters ECTO-1 I used their Double sided clips and 1 bar clips to fit into those very tight spots and get my look just right. MEGA Blok: Side mirrors and 1x1 plate with side knob Stickers: For now I modified my file in the physical brick form to fit the official Flux Capacitor brick LEGO printed. I am replacing it with my proposed 2x2 tile option as you see in the sticker page. I plan on making a small print run of these with my Ecto-1 and Speed Racer Mach 5 stickers. 1. Mr Fusion 2 sizes. One to fit on the LEGO bar clip. One to fit on a regular round 1x1 brick. 2. Flux Capacitor idea, 1 printed sticker, or 2 stickers and make the box part transparent sticker sheet so it has depth and the Flux wires on a 2x2 black plate wth center knob behind the clear tile. Note: Clear tile is rare and was costly. I bought 2. 3. The touch number at the bottom left of the sticker sheet would fit on a 2x1 cheese wedge located below the time circuit. 4. The dashboard would be fit with a bottom cut around the center knob. I think i need to redesign it so the speedometer is smaller and up higher. Or get rid of the DMC and shift the speedometer over so the center peg isn't doing anything to the black area. Onto the LDD files photos. You can make a DMC-12, Time machine from BTTF 1, 2 or even 3. I have built the model to be quite easy to modify from each section with not a whole lot of changes. And most parts are used somewhere else so there isn't a ton of extra parts. Dark bluish gray 1x1 cheese wedge is not placed on anything, I used an off brand transparent red plate with side knob: WHAT? MEGA Bloks makes this. DMC- 12 BTTF 1: The whole back is modified to make up the different parts. But the delorean from here is similar for 2 and 3. BTTF 2: Driving mode. Mr Fusion, on my model. I cut off the clip and sanded it down to a smooth finish. What? I destroyed a lego piece to make it look sweet! Flight Mode: You have to cut down some of the rigid black hoses so they fit about 2 studs long. The transparent plates on this option will not stay unless you either have a person in the seat or for display purposes, place a tile on the floor to hold them in place. BTTF 3: You can see the alternative Mr Fusion idea. The white wheel idea may not work, because I think it stretches the tires out too much and makes the wheels not rotate. I am using white plastic wheel wells if I mod my model for this. Look at those red batteries! No Idea what they are, but some how it helps make time travel happen. I want to do glo wire for the model, like I saw before on the lit up one another Eurobricks forum. Doc Brown does;'t actually fit inside the car. His hair prevents the door fro closing. Marty's hair causes the other door to not close, yet when you place him in the driver side, he fits. Look at those teal green things! My favorite part is the fins coming out of the exhaust cheese wedge. Those are clips from Brickarms and a LEGO robot arm. The arms hold the wedge in place. I also want to resolve how the hose connects instead of just sitting there. This model uses the 1x6 black tile. I want to get that darn 1x1 dark blueish gray these wedge in place on the back, but not using a 2x2 bracket because it makes the back 8 studs wide instead of 7. You will see this in a few other pictures I took. Until I figure out how to do the glow wire and get my last aluminum part from Chrome Block City, I won't touch it for a while.

December 28, 20168 yr Very cool. I really like how the Van came out. Thanks for providing a LDD file. I plan to build one myself. Do you know if the ideas 21103 delorean fits inside the van? Edited December 28, 20168 yr by Stryker

Do you know if the ideas 21103 delorean fits inside the van? No I do not. The width of the interior is 8 studs wide. I believe parts of the car is wider. I think displaying it side by side will be fine. You may need to replace the side walls with 2x4x3 panals to get it to fit. My car will actually fit on the lego railroad tracks. I know that ideally the delorean should be 6 studs wide to match 1 stud per foot ratio. The issue is all my vehicles are more closer to a 1:44 ratio. The ecto-1 is 26 studs long, should be 22 studs. The X-Wing is 51 studs long instead of 46. I try to maintain shape and proportions more. Since Ecto-1 is 8-9 studs wide when you account for the stuff hanging off the side, the tiny Delorean needs to be 7 studs wide to maintain the approximate proportions. Ecto-1 is 7 feed wide and the Delorean is 6 feet wide. Those come close to each other when you add a stud wider. Looking at a lot of great vehicle mocs I think i will maintain my 7 to 8 stud wide cars. I could get the van down to 8 studs wide if I make the delorean 6 studs wide but there isn't a windscreen for that size. Right now the van looks huge and I would love to build it 8 studs wide if I could get the car to slide in it. The wheel wells stick out to 8 studs wide. Looking at the Dimensions game, the truck doesn't feel too large, but then again when you look at the movie truck and see Marty next to it, the vehicle towers over him.
