Thanks for the references Pierre. I'm really liking that Chibi one. I did see that one online while I was building mine. I was searching for some lego reference images and came across it. it almost made me stop building mine as it is the same scale and color. After seeing it and deciding to continue I just had to NOT look at it for fear of making mine too similar. In the end though, it does appear that we both came up with the same solutions for some parts, like the bumpers and roof line. However I built mine with the intention of placing two mini-dolls in it, I don't think that one can accommodate any figs.chump wrote:I thought I saw one of these a week or two ago but you wrote work in progress so that means that it wasn't likely yours.
So I did a quick search to see if my mind was playing tricks on me.

There's another mini one on LEGO ideas which is not as elegant.
Thank you for responding to that question in my post. I like it too, but am still torn, as I like the detail on trunk 2.0, but also really like the smooth lines of the first one.bricksare4me wrote:I am seriously luvin its colour. imho, I prefer trunk version 1. U can park this puppy at my Lego House!
It has been quite a journey to figure all the curves out . I'm fairly happy with it now, but may still tweak the shape a little more. I am not too happy with the window pillars, but I can't think of any other way to do it if I want to keep the color scheme, and also do the curve from the body at 6 studs wide, to the roof at 4 studs wide.AC wrote:Great job! Not easily done with all the curves the bug has. I like it.
I think that is because of where the bumper is attached, which makes it ride just a tad lower than the fenders. At one point I tried to place them a little higher, but it threw off the hood line, so I settled on this configuration as good enough.Lettuce wrote:In the shots from above, it does look like it's riding a bit low, but on the side shots, the ground clearance looks perfect.
Awesome, that was the idea. I wanted it to be recognizable as an attempt to recreate the Creator set in mini-doll scale. I plan to use it in my upcoming review of the creator set (if it gets delivered soon!).TheRebricker wrote:Looking great! Especially with the new Creator set coming out, I love the look. Very recognizable!
Hopefully it's not coming with Canada Post....Bricksky wrote:I plan to use it in my upcoming review of the creator set (if it gets delivered soon!).
Nope. Lego delivers all their review sets via DHL. Should get here any day now! I suspect it could have got held up in customs while crossing through the Canadian border... wouldn't be the first time...TheRebricker wrote:Hopefully it's not coming with Canada Post....
