LEGO® School Bus

Description

A model of the month

The Monthly Mini Model Build series offered a new small model every month that visitors could assemble in the brand stores. The school bus is one of them, with 65 pieces and no minifigures. Because the promotion ran for a limited time, these sets are mostly of interest to collectors now. If you are working towards a complete run of the series, this is a typical example, with a simple and readable design. A school bus is also a rewarding subject because everyone understands it at once. Children who play with vehicles will recognise what the model stands for and can invent little stories about the way to school.

Yellow says it all

A school bus is recognised by its colour, and the set relies on exactly that. Yellow dominates the body, black supplies the wheels and details, and transparent pieces form the windows, with a little light bluish grey on top. With 29 different part types among 65 pieces, there is more variety than you might expect from such a small model. The yellow bricks are also useful for other vehicles such as taxis or construction machines.

Display it or take it apart

The model sits nicely on a shelf, and its clear shape makes it easy to identify. You can build it in a single evening. If you would rather use the bricks, take the bus apart and use the windows and wheels in your own vehicles. Clear parts in a fitting size are not something you can take for granted in small sets. If you own several monthly models, line them up side by side. Individual small builds then turn into a little street where the bus, a car and other vehicles all find a place.

Check the parts, find ideas

The parts list on this page helps when you buy a second-hand copy or sort your own bricks. With “What can I build?” you can also test which other models can be made from this set and the parts you already own. That way the bus stays useful even after you have taken it apart.
