Murdoch17 Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) "This far-out VW bus is, like, full of positive vibes. No negative energy is allowed onboard, and no squares either. You're not a square are you? ...Groovy. I'm on my way to Woodstock for three days of peace, love, and music to tune in, turn on, and drop out. I'll also be protesting the Vietnam War on the way back to San Francisco. Wanna come along, man?" - The Hippie So, I was looking through my back catalog of downloaded LDD models and found this one from 2013 and the Build Together campaign Lego had at that time. They had a website for it an everything, and after a decade of waiting, this 8-wide bus finally resurfaced and caught my eye. I added a bunch of flowers, an hippie CMF fig (plus a custom female counterpart fig) and a far-out new paint job. The rear features a hitch for towing a trailer. Unfortunately the large door on the other side does not open... I didn't design it right and am NOT going to tear this apart to fix it. The inside has been decked out with all new details: a lava lamp, bed, table and chair, along with two chairs up front. As you might have guessed, the roof is mostly removable. UPDATE 1/18/23: Real world photos added! Thoughts? Edited January 18, 2023 by Murdoch17 Quote
Murdoch17 Posted January 3, 2023 Author Posted January 3, 2023 In case anybody cares, here is the original van from the first commercial (in green), and the second one. (in orange) The second commercial also featured Star Wars characters. These are both from an old stop-motion ad campaign Lego did in 2013 called "Build Together". (These are the original models / colors I copied into LDD from instructions I no longer own.) Quote
Murdoch17 Posted January 9, 2023 Author Posted January 9, 2023 Update: I reversed the color scheme and flowers (red flower / yellow bus to yellow flowers / red bus), added a opening side door and roof rack. Also, a female hippie has joined in. Thoughts? Quote
Murdoch17 Posted January 18, 2023 Author Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Real world photos added to the first post! (sorry they are so dark, there is a storm rolling through my town and they came out worse than I thought they would) Edited January 18, 2023 by Murdoch17 Quote
