The New London Bus
Riding the new Routemaster AKA the Boris Bus everyday, one cannot help but notice the intriguing design that is reminiscent of the classic hop-on hop-off London double-decker bus with the open rear door.
I was inspired to recreate this controversial vehicle with digital LEGO bricks using Bricklink Studio 2.0, in the same scale and style as the official Creator Expert model 10258 London Bus. I also designed some custom bricks (front and side windows) using Bricklink’s PartDesigner as an experiment to keep true to the Boris Bus’s complex shapes. Stickers were also used for the unique rear and side window shaping which were otherwise impossible to recreate purely with LEGO pieces. Special care was made to include every detail inside as well, including the right amount of seats, railings, opening doors, and fare card readers.
The number 9 stickers hearken to the LEGO set 10258’s official bus route, and the advertising banners on the bus parody London’s typical theatre adverts. Let’s admit: a Broadway-style musical would be the perfect way to bring back Bionicle.
