It was some delay, but I'm working again on the bus. Roof is under construction now, and maybe I will done before the end of the year. :)

That is good news 

Some picture, but need to order some white panels and liftarms :)

All pneumatics function on the roof. Manual and electric pumping function, and lot of pneumatic switches. 

Switches to all door, and rise/lower the chassis - and combinations (all door at the same time, all rising pump at the same time)

 

I will build 3 removable hoods, these will hide the switches.

 

Nice progress, looks promising.

Arrived some white parts.

There is better looking now:

 

Honestly @josszo it looks great, proportions are good, whole model is rounded up. 

       

This is really massive and beautiful done! Are you planning on making a video? I would love to see it in action

I'm happy, that people follow my work, and they like it.

So, later I will make a video. :)

What a great Project. It reminds me to my childhood. I used the similar in GDR to reach the "kindergarten". After all the good memories, I started als a LEGO- Articulated Bus. Its a Mercedes Benz CapaCity L.

 

 

One of my next projects is a full remote controlled Capacity Bus :)

Size is a problem. This articulated ikarus is 1 meter long, Capacity with 4 axle will be bigger :S

So it is a huge project.

...with huge parts number. As I can see Ikarus bus is very good, so new project; Mercedes Benz CapacityL would be very interesting, at least here is one suggestion - use shield with Mercedes star from 42043 set 

Edited December 7, 20177 yr by I_Igor

I have 2 spare Arocs set, so it is possible to use this shield.

But, what do you think about a red remote controlled ikarus trolleybus? It is other big plan. 14 function, with 7 function switch with at least 8 motor.

It is other big plan :)

Don't link any picture, it will be surprise later. :)

I would love to see the red trolleybus. I was often in Budapest and this Bus is just so charming

...and you have plenty of parts with two Arocs...

Maybe close enough, but always need to order other parts too. Usually I chose interesting, and rare colors :)

 

+1 for the red trolibusz ;)

Do you know already how you will create the middle section on this bus (which looks amazing btw)?

Edited December 8, 20177 yr by kbalage

The structure of middle section is almost done, Tomorrow I take pictures. 

The rubber corridor is the most difficult:

I could work with only lego pieces, but it would not realistic.

I choose other way, I will use black hard papers, and do some origami. It will be fine, such as the real :)

 

I know, need a better camera, but here are the pictures about the middle section.

On the roof, there are stabilizer arms, such as in the real world :)

It is only visual effect, but behave as the real

Next step to install all of the pneumatic tubes, I hate it :(

...but bus is really great 

Under the "hood"

I have started the tubing

Quite interesting to see what you are doing, over a long period of time. How much % do you think is done?

I'm in the finish line. All bodywork is ready, only need to finish the difficult tubing. I'm ready with the 1/4 of the tubing, I think. My plan is to finish in this year :)

I have ambivalent feelings: 1. It is a bus. 2. It is awesome!  

Here is the tubing between the front and the rear unit. Needed to create a flexible system, that can rotate, when the bus is steering.

Can add "multi level tubing" name of this creation :)

I applaud your bravery in not colour coding the tubing
