Cat Bus from "My Neighbor Totoro"

Finally I got almost all the bricks of "correct colors" and redesign the bus. Here it is.

The body of the bus and the door are bigger, so the Totoro can fit inside.

Totoro steps on the bus and off we go!

The roof can be open.

Mei and Satsuki sit by the back window. Isn't it lovely?

There is a secret behind the tail of Cat Bus.

The belly is also carefully designed to match the Cat Bus in the movie. :)

The mainly update is about the body. I made it more like the appearance of cat bus in the movie.

• The body is heightened and widened to get a better head-body ratio.
• Front window is split into two halves.
• Semicircular back window.
• Two rear lights (mouse lights) are added.
• Brown strips on tail, legs, and face are modified.
• The first and last side windows are modified to trapezoid shape so the body gets a more round shape.
• The roof curve is more round.

As to the head, the connection position is lowered so the little figures sitting by the front window can be seen in front.
