Mobile Bicycle Repair Shop

17 comments

(First off, if you are judging by the thumbnail, it is blurry for some reason, but my real main image is clear.)

This minifigure is a traveling bicycle mechanic, and he has a toolbox, tools and a bycicle pump to fix old bicycles with. He travels in his truck, which serves as his mobile shop/garage. His truck has opening doors with windows, opening back doors, a bit of suspension, a working automatic parking brake, a removable roof for convenience, and is overall very sturdy. One of the bicycles he is fixing is included. It is as realistic as I could make it, but I have not worked out how to make a minifigure ride it yet. It is fully functional: it has a connected, turning front wheel and handle bars, a turning back wheel, a tiny drive chain, and a seat. 

I made this becaue I believe the Lego Company really should start building more mechanically detailed models, even if they use unconventional methods to do it.

This creation includes a significant model: the giant, sturdy, gray truck that is in the main and detail pictures. The main picture shows the entire Lego model: the truck, the mechanic, the bicycle, the bike pump, the tools, and the toolbox. The picture is as crisp and clear as I can do with a small, digital camera, and is against a neuteral background. I am not a rich AFOL; I have neither time nor money to make large, appealing models that I can photograph with a fancy camera to get stunning pictures. This, my humble creation, is the best I can do with my resources.
