MOC: Classic Town Double Decker Bus

[Davey]

This was another quick build that I did before Brickworld and it turned out a lot better than I had anticipated. I was aiming to capture the 'Classic Town' feel by building in 4-wide and using primary colors along with the old skool LEGO wheels. I'm really happy with the design even if it does look a little narrow and tall. I feel that is what really gives it the 'Classic Town' look. Always slightly out of proportion...but cute nonetheless...just like me.

More pictures at 1024 x 768 resolution are available on my Flickr Photostream.

Enjoy!

Nice, you certainly captured the classic town look. I agree to what you say about proportions, but that's all part of the classic look. I think this would fall over in corners at any positive speed . Too bad the drivers' windshield isn't trans light blue too, or actually the rest of the windows would need to be trans-clear for a real early 80's look.

Hahaha...so true! There would be Minifig carnage everywhere!

Yeah, I'd like to switch them up to the trans-clear. I think that's on my to-do list the next time I order from Bricklink.

Looks nice, when i was a kid it was always struggle how to make that wheel arches, they always looked funny.

I like the bus very much. It takes me to the childhood. Great work!
