MOD: Boy With City Scooter

[Klaus-Dieter]

Hello everybody!

After having seen that strange old-styled scooter in the 10211 Grand Emporium I thought that it would be great to get a modernised version.

So I tried my luck with LDD:

Boy With City Scooter

It's always good to have a city scooter to get quickly home from school () or to go shopping in the city.

This set includes a modern city scooter and a boy with rucksack.

Comments are welcome!

Not bad 'Klaus-Dieter' !

Backpack idea is very sound, but the handle bars on the scooter are way too long or wide which ever way you want to call it.

I can see that you have used 2x1 plates with hinge tounge as the chassis and wheels - very clever of you.

I'm a conformist! 'Klaus-Dieter' I'm a conformist! !

I agree with lightintiger that the handlebar is too long. I suggest using the handlebar on the white quad bike in 7213 Offroad Fire Truck.

Thanks lightningtiger.

I thought a while about how to design the scooter - and then I thought with using these plates it surely would look plausible.

Thanks ImLost.

Indeed I would really have liked to use this part you descripe - but I regrettably didn't find it in LDD.

Nice design, but I think it would be better if Lego made those hinges with the actual connector facing down, if you know what I mean.

So very simple but still very great Klaus.

If you get around to build it in real bricks, and add that handlebar instead, please take a picture.

Strange that you didn´t find that piece since it is a very common piece.

I was even going to suggest this hose piece if it was available, but the handlebar is better.

I'll firstly have to look whether I generally own these two plates for the bottom of the city scooter. If not I'll have to order them via PaB - but then it would take a while until I will take and show pics since I do not order for only two bricks but wait until I have a whole list of more bricks I want and need. But I know that I own the handlebar - it is in black but nevertheless.

At the moment I'm not aible to take any pics - but immediately when I'll be aible to I'll take some and show them to you.
