LEGO City Great Vehicles 60057 Camper Van~ LEGO Review

Hello everybody! I have another review to share with you. It is now summer, the camping season, so I decided to do  review on my Lego City Camper Van!!!
I like this camper van, as it has many opening/closing/moving features.
 I hope you enjoy this!

Warning: some stickers from this set may be peeling/missing



The set

Accessories

Female Minifigure's Front
I call her Nya (from Ninjago) because she has Nya's hair

Nya's ( I am going to call her Nya, because it is shorter)
Left side

Nya's back

Nya's right side

 

Male Minifigure's front
I call him Jay (From Ninjago also) Because they also have the same
hair

Jay's left side

Jay's back

Jay's right side

Camper Van!

View from right side

View from back

Cool Feature! The a piece of the left side opens up to look and play inside the van!

Ahh. Comfy bed

A TV next to the bed. It appears to be a fishing show. Perfect for camping

A small table and chair, with a stud for placing items, such as this mug.

Also, the top of this van easily comes off and on.
I use this feature a lot, as it is hard to get the minifigs in their seat
through the small doors.

Camper van view from top

A simple but cool detail. Side view mirrors!
It would be nice if the 2x1 slope for the mirrors were
see-through, though.
 

The front of the van from the top. Includes a blue driver's seat,
steering wheel, and coffee mug. It would be nice if there was a passenger side
seat.

Now for the top part of the van
 

This panel pulls up to reveal a storage area to
store the lifevests and oars for the canoe

I don't think this is designated for storage, but if I need some extra space
for stuff, I use this secret hatch

You could fill it with supplies,

Or you could use it as a roof top bed!

Now for the Canoe!

I think this is a cute detail to the set

Life vests: TO put them on, you have to take off the minifig's head,
slide the vest over the neck stick, and place the head on top.

the minifigure's head does not go down all the way though, if you
use the lifevest

(size difference: Left-lifevest
    Right-no lifevest)

SO Cute!!

Jay: Good-Bye!

 

Lego Creation~Barbeque! Part 2 (Includes answer to last "Guess the Minifigure")

(Continuation of last post)



Get another 2x4 plate and place it on the right
side of the BBQ

Get a 2x4 plate and place it on the left side

now push that aside and get a whatever this is called. It is a flat curvy thing

get a 1x4 plate and place it on the side that is lower than the others

now get a 1x4 brick and place it on the left side (I later changed the white
pieces to gray)

another 1x4 brick on the right

two 1x2's side by side on the last remaining edge

Get two more 1x2 bricks and put them on the lower side to make
all the edges the same height

now get one of these and place it one pair of the 1x2 bricks.

it should look like this

now attach it to the back of the BBQ so it looks like an open lid

now get these 1x2 grill plates and place them from left to right
covering the lower surface of the grill.

It should look like this

Now get two 1x2 plate with an indented stud in the middle and place
them in the center of the 2x4 plate

This will make an extra cooking spot.

Now add a few grilling accessories to this handy piece



Voila! (i added a little propane bottle on the bottom of the grill)
Of course, this grill is a little too big for minifigs, so i put mine on stilts!
Just add some food to the grill!

Ahh! A nice relaxing scene.
(P.S: The minifig on the left is holding a Bricka-Cola made by Eclipse Grafx Bricks. Check them out!)

(P.P.S: That piece of meat on the extra cooker is a piece of bacon also made by Eclipse Grafx Bricks)
