I've got to say, i'm very impressed.
Its actually very difficult to make lego models with such detail at a very small scale.
I used to be into lego in a large way when I was younger. I tried a 62ts once but wasn't impressed so I dismantled it. Not only that, I like features, working doors etc, so I was never totally happy. My best model was a bus, not based on any model out at the time, but tried to take the best features off from current models, at that time being T's, L's, M's, DMS's (fleetlines for you younger folk).
I'll scan and post a piccie or 2

Here you go folks. Sorry, the pictures are of poor quality, I think my scanner has had it. The model still exists, albeit very dusty in my mothers loft, so if anyone wants me to take any better photo's then I can post them here. The model had various features: 6 cylinder lego engine Electric compressor which powered the front and centre doors, and the pneumatic 2 speed gearbox. (not enough room left in the chassis to put a 3rd in). air reservoir under u deck rear seat. steering Upper and lower deck lighting suspension front and rear working blinds (front and rear require a lego key) doors controllable from drivers cab pantograph style windscreen wipers (sadly not motorised. Tried experiments but insufficient room) Lots of openings to get to various working parts. compressor is under the driving cab and can be slid out for maintenance The whole model is incredibly heavy and rather large, hence it currently residing in my mothers loft gathering dust looking rather sorry for itself. The front suspension needs replacing too. Anyway heres the link: wayneprice5870.fotopic.net/c734892.html |
