Cargo vans like the Ford Econoline are parked on the streets all over the city. I'd like to make more like this to line my city streets. This model has a PVC pipe and a ladder on the roof, as well as a heavily grafittied side panel. The grafitti was done by hand on plain paper and then glued on.
Here is the non-grafitti side of the van. The design is a silouette of a generic New York City skyline, common on a lot of cargo vans for some reason. They most often have two tall sqaure buildings on one end (the Twin Towers), one or two tall pointy ones in the middle (the Empire State and Chrysler buildings) and a sloped on on the other end (The Citigroup Center.)
great for my citystreets too i think i'll maker a wider one (i do vehicles wide enough for 2 minifigs) and include it in Olekirkville (mycity-that only exists in my head right now!)
Very cute van with graffiti detailing. Another excellent rendition of a real-life vehicle in 4-wide, but shouldn't vans and trucks be 6-wide at this scale? Keep it up, Sean!
Very creative. Looks typical of a plumbing truck you mightsee in the NYC/North Jersey area. Purists might fault you for using glue and paper but it preferable to writing directly on Lego bricks.
