hey everyone here's a tutorial on how to build a white delivery van that is scaled for minifigures
for today's lego brick tutorial let's begin building the chassis starting with a 2 by 14 plate
let's take a pair of two by two by two thirds plate with bearing and place them on the
left hand side now place a 1 by 4 plate right next to the bearing plates and a 6 by 6 plate
followed by a 1 by 4 plate another pair of 2 by 2 by 2 3 bearing plate and a 1 by 4 plate
and we're going to finish off the end with a 2 by 6 plate
now let's flip the assembly over in this area we're going to set down a pair
of 1x6 plates and on the back portion three 1 by 2 platelet slide this is going to be our rear bumper
let's flip it over let's construct the floor of the cabs on with a pair
of 1 by 2 plates place them right in this area on top of the 1 by 4
and 6 by 6 plate and place a 1 by 1 by 2 3 slope right here this is going to be
our little gas pedal set down a 1 by 1 plate right on the top portion of the 1 by 4 plate
let's finish off the interior with a set of flat tiles i'm going to start right here
and i'm going to fill in this whole area with 1 by flat tiles
and place a 1 by 1 by 2 3 slope right on top of the 1 by 1 plate
take a pair of 1 by 2 plates place them on top of one another and place it right here in the center
right next to the gas pedal take a pair of 1 by 1 plates place these on top of one another we're
going to place them on top of the 1 by 4 plates let's make four of these in total and fill up
these remaining areas now take four 2 by 2 plate with screen we're going to place these above the
bearing plates these are going to serve as wheel wells to finish off around the tires
and a pair of 1 by 4 by two-thirds plate with bowel the rear this is going to finish off above
the wheel wells inside the cargo area now let's start constructing the body starting with a pair
of 1 by 2 inverted 45 degree slopes this is going to give us some clearance for the tires
and then we're going to proceed on with a pair
of 1 by 4 bricks two more inverted 45 degree 1 by 2 slopes for the left hand side of the
rear wheel well is well as two more
1 by 2 inverted 45 degree slopes to finish up this portion of the body
take a 2 by 2 by 2 seat place it right on top of the 1 by 2 plates
and a 1 by 1 aerial or shifter this is going to be used as our little
shifting device that may be a bit of a challenge to wiggle that in there
just have to give it a shot and i get it to where it's just right next to the seat
now place two 1 by 2 plates
on this portion of the wheel well and let's continue on with a pair of 1 by 6 plates
1 by 4 plates and 2 1 by 3 plates to level off the rear portion
here in the front take a 1 by 2 by 2 3 brick with four studs place it on top of the 1 by 2 plates
now we're going to take a pair of regular 1 by 2 bricks with two studs place them on top of the
previous 1 by 2 plates right here this is going to be used to attach our front bumper and grill
well the dashboard start with a 1 by 4 plate place
a pair of 1 by 2 plates on top of another on the right hand side followed by
a 1 by 2 by 2 3 slope and on the left hand side a 1 by 2 steering console
let's place our dash assembly right inside this 1x4 area don't worry it will clear the shifter
take a left and right-handed 1 by 3 by 1 doors we're going to place these next to the dashboard
for the windshield take a 2 by 6 by 2 windshield frame
and a piece of glass that's molded for this type of frame you can
set this in here and it just snaps in place now if you don't have this you can use a standard
2 by 6 by 2 windshield and just place it right on top of the bricks with studs and the doors
for the front bumper grill start with a 1 by 6 flat tile let's flip this
over we're going to place three 1 by 2 by 1 by 2 upwards angular plates on the bottom portion
of the tile now i want to flip this we're gonna set a 1 by 2 radiator grille right here and then
flip the assembly over on the back we're going to place a 1 by 4 plate to strengthen this area up
take four 1 by 2 45 degree slope plates i'm going to place these underneath a 1 by 4 plate
so we're just going to slip all four of these under here
next take a 1 by 2 radiator grill place it in the center
followed by a pair of 1 by 2 flat tiles make sure that they are hanging over
for our light assembly start with a 1 by 2 slope it has a plate on the back let's
place a transparent orange 1 by 1 plate on the back portion of the slope this is
going to be our turn signal then i'm going to take a 1 by 2 jumper plate place a 1 by 1
round transparent clear flat tile for a headlight we're going to place one end of the jumper plate
on the transparent orange one by one plate now we're going to make two of these
now let's assemble our front bumper and grill parts we'll take the
piece here and place it right on top of the angular plates as well as the headlight
assemblies
now let's slide in our front bumper and grill right on the
bricks with studs it should just slide in place but just take your time and work it
in very slow we don't want things to come flying off down the road
take a 1 by 6 plate we're going to flip it over and place
a 1 by 2 plate in the center as well as a 1 by 2 modified plate with a locking hinge
place one on both left and right hand sides let's flip this over we're going to smooth
this off with a 1 by 6 flat tile now let's place a pair of 1 by 2 friction forks on the
locking hinge plates these are a bit of a struggle to get on so you just have to wiggle them in there
and finally a pair of 1 by 2 by 2 3 slopes these are going to be like our side mirrors
and then we're going to take these we're going to rotate these by 90 degrees
now let's take our mirror assembly place it right on top of the wind screen and know how
the angles are facing outward this gives us a bit of a area here for some faux mirrors
take four 1 by 4 by 3 wall elements we're going to start by the passenger side door
we're going to place two of them on the top portion and two more 1 by 4 by 3 wall elements
on this portion of the body let's finish up this area with a pair of 1 by 2 by 3 wall elements
take a 1 by 4 by 4 frame and a wicker door place the wicker door inside
close it we'll set this right in the center these two areas are going to be our brake lights
for the rear light assembly start with a 1 by 1 brick let's place a pair
of 1x1 angler bricks or headlight bricks on top one another and crown that off with a 1 by 1 brick
and to finish off the angular bricks with a pair of transparent red round one by one flat tiles
let's make two of these
now take our rear brake light assemblies we're going to place them in the
one by one openings and let's lock all that together with a 1 by 6 plate
now starting in the drivers area we're going to place
a set of 1 by 2 flat tiles and we're going to keep some space in between here with a 1 by 6 flat tile
and we're going to fill in the remaining areas with five 1 by 4 flat tiles as you
can see the body is starting to take some shape this will lock everything in nice
flip the delivery van over we're going to make some wheels so take a wide rim and a tire that
fits on the rim place it on like so that depends on which way you want your tires to face so i'm
going to have the lug nuts facing outwards and i'm going to place four tires on the axle it'd
be kind of hard to drive with less so we're going to fill up all the bearing plates with wheels
for the roof start with a six by six plate and take several two by four flat tiles and
we're going to cover this plate starting on the left hand side now let's slide in a 6 by 6 plate
right next to the previous assembly and we're going to set down
three more 2 by 4 flat tiles and wrap up the right hand side with a 1 by 6 flat tile
now let's flip the assembly over and on left hand side fill this in with a 1 by 6 plate
and i'm going to place a pair of 1 by 2 plates not only to strengthen up this joint but these
are going to also act as door trim for the doors and to secure the back portion we're going to
drop down two 1 by 6 plates and these are going to help lock in the
back portion of the roof to keep it from sliding off the cargo area now let's place
the top on top of the delivery van should just snap in place pretty seamless construction
now if you like you can even place a sticker in this area to add a logo of your choosing
does real smooth on a flat surface well let's go get some deliveries
