[MOC] Neoplan Skyliner FlixBus

[Stefaneris]

Hello all

In Germany and in most of Europe, these green buses connect Cities on international lines. For me the most interesting thing was the colour, since normally long distance buses tend to be white or a not so eye-catching colour. The prototype is a Neoplan Skyliner, because I like the shape of those buses. There are only a handfull of this type operating for FlixBus since Neoplan buses are generally more comfortable than other buses and used for charter service.

To build my model I used blueprints to macht the shape, especially of the dark stripe with the windows. You also may spot some bricks which I coverd with coloured paper since some bricks don't exist (yet) in lime. My bus also has a passive steering, so that you could play with it.

But now for the pictures, can you spot the driver and the red mug?

Thanks, it is quite stable. I connected everything on the inside and built a technic chasis which I also use for the steering. Only the front window tend to break away if it's not handeld carefully

very excellent. That front windowing is spot on, as its always the hardest area, this one went over pretty neat! congrats

[Stefaneris]

Thanks, I used hinge bricks to tilt the window a bit downwards and hinge plates to make a curved look. The hinge bricks are also the reasen the window is the most fragile part since there is a smal gap between the green part under the window where they should be connected and the whole window-part itself.

Thanks, unfortunately there are still some bricks missing in lime, so I had to use stickers to cover them.
