Lego Figure 40th Anniversary Bus
Happy 40th Anniversary to the first Lego Figures!
I wanted to create a new model that had a distinctly vintage look. My design cues came from some 1970's Lego trade adverts. I purposely chose a model that used the colors that are incorporated in the Lego logo. In the 1970's the Lego color palate was limited to yellow, red, blue, white, black, with small amounts of gray and green. On a personal note, I chose the British 1910 B-Type double decker bus because I was born in England and that was were I first came across these figures as a child. As well, if you look at the poster from a distance, red and white are the predominant colors which represents my Canadian upbringing.
The anniversary of the brick is always an important milestone. I think the first appearance of a Lego figure is worthy of note as they were the predecessor of the minifigure which is so dominant today.
Many thanks to Tyler Sky for his great photography and photo editing!
