The Lego Routemaster needs you!

[CreativeDoink]

Hello all (especially those who remember me )

Apologies for the quick pop in - some people here may know I have made the Legomaster - a New Bus for London/Routemaster out of Lego. It's 6 studs wide, about 20 or so long and its currently on the Lego Ideas website - http:// bit .ly/ldn-bus

The reason I'm asking for help is that I need 10,000 supports for Lego to consider making it. So, I'd like to ask, nay, near beg - please can you click the link, sign up using your facebook or twitter and then support my Legomaster bus

I'm much obliged to all of you who do - if you are able to share this with like-minded friends too, I'm very grateful.

Best wishes and thanks again
Doink
p.s. because I had to recreate my account on here, I had to space the link - very sorry!
p.p.s. Hello Yorkie!

Hello all (especially those who remember me )

If it's helpful, the actual link is https://ideas.lego.com/projects/154570. There are lots more photos there, including of the inside of your bus - and I have to say I think from those photos, it's rather an impressive project. You seem to have captured an amazing amount of interior detail in a relatively small model - including the bars for standing passengers to hold. I fear the photo you posted of the outside of the bus doesn't really give it justice: From the front, to my eyes, the model looks a bit clunky. I don't think that's a bad reflection on you - the issue is that it would be very hard to get a smoother, more realistic, appearance using standard bricks in a model that's only 6 studs wide (And ideally you'd need some stickers to show route destination etc.). I suspect to get something that looks better, you'd need it to be at least 10 or 12 studs wide - and obviously therefore massively bigger.

Good luck getting it accepted - it looks an interesting and imaginative build.

Yes I agree with Dynamic Spirit. I'm a big Lego fan and I've looked at all the pictures of the bus and it looks great. Plenty of play opportunities with it too with the opening doors/roof etc.
I'll sign up and wish you good luck.

Looks how it might have been if built by East Lancs! Seriously, very well done, I'm not into models so, as they say on Dragon's Den, 'I'm out' but I wish you all success with it.

Don't have a Lego ID - neither do I want one, quite frankly - but I've retweeted your campaign. Good luck on reaching your target!
