Solitary Dark Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) I've wanted to make one of these for a while, and finally got round to it last night. I'd always wanted to have a sliding door mechanism (although I dont know if that's an accurate feature from the real VW Bus) and disguising the mechanism became very simple once I thought of the flower decoration. All I need now is the series 4 Lady surfer - there's a missing surfboard on the roofrack!

Sleepie Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Nice Flower Power Van, Now it should be also viewable here ;-) Cheers, Sleepie Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Well.....Hippie Hippie Shake ! COOL looking Kombi van 'mookage', but you are missing the VW logo on the front.....sticker that on the round 2x2 tile and you'll go to AWESOME with it ! I really like the door feature too ! Excellent work and Brick On ! Quote
dr_spock Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Nice VW bus. I like your use of flower power to hide the holes. Good work. Quote
JMAK74 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Nice! I'll be looking to make this and i'll remember to give credit! Quote
Solitary Dark Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 Looks like I posted a day early - I found 4 boxes of series 4 in my local Tesco and so now have the new Surfer girl! VW Bus 6 by The Solitary Dark, on Flickr Quote
CarrollFilms Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Nice review, one thing that really bothered me was the door, no window? Since when did VW make a hippie van without passenger and driver windows. It's a compact looking set, one I'd recommend to a newcomer to Lego especially. Good review, thanks Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 A very lovely VW Camper Van I must say, I like the sliding door mechanism, and the overall bright yellow with floral accents color scheme - very Summer-y. Excellent work mookage! Quote

A very lovely VW Camper Van I must say, I like the sliding door mechanism, and the overall bright yellow with floral accents color scheme - very Summer-y. Excellent work mookage! My son's favourite colour is yellow, and it just seemed too perfect a colour scheme not to use it for these minifigs. It's actually going to be part of a much larger project I'm working on, which will have a beach, seafront and some city sections. Gotta have somewhere for all the collectible minifigures to live!

LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Great VW bus mookage The "sliding door" mechanism is a clever solution and the flowers give it that extra touch. Very nice work, can't wait to see the beach seen Quote
