CUSTOM MODULAR YELLOW WIG & HAIR SALON


Above: The YELLOW WIG & HAIR SALON project designed and built by Brick Trick artists here in our SAN FRANCISCO studio. This project is currently up for auction on Ebay.

CUSTOM MODULAR YELLOW WIG & HAIR SALON

This posting showcases images for another BRICK TRICK DUDE custom-designed and artisan built original architectural model from all new bricks and parts. While created to coordinate with your other CITY, TOWN or TRAIN buildings in minifigure scale, this nicely detailed and finished brick sculpture will also work well as a stand-alone piece. The YELLOW WIG SHOP & HAIR SALON project is being sold fully assembled, as shown in the images; some parts will be removed for shipping and details to reassemble these few elements will be included, (signage, mail box, tree, trash dumpster, flower). Also included is a CD of photographic images documenting the entire project inside and out, (NOTE: No formal written directions are provided). The YELLOW WIG SHOP & HAIR SALON is an original creation from the Brick Trick Dude building studio here in San Francisco and is one-of-a-kind.

EXTERIOR: The YELLOW WIG SHOP & HAIR SALON project features 3 stories of space constructed on a 16x32 peg base plate. The front exterior is decorated on the sidewalk level with checkerboard paving, a mailbox and a tree. There is a hair brush “sign”. The second floor exterior has two arched windows with awnings and the third floor exterior has a large arched window. The entire front façade is a bold scheme of yellow as well as white, dark green, and both light and dark bluish-gray. Note the skylights on the roof. The back of the building is primarily yellow as are the sides, (sides have white panels). The back features windows on each floor, a ground level back door with awning, a trash dumpster with shovel and broom and a flower. Windows on the second floor can be opened and closed, so can the skylights. Modular construction techniques allow the roof and top floors to be removed for interior viewing and then easily re-stacked.

INTERIOR: The WIG SHOP occupies the interior of the ground floor. The store has a counter with a cash register, lots off “hair products” on a wall unit of shelves and numerous wigs for both male and female minifigures presented on several displays. The entire floor is tiled in transparent green. The second floor is the HAIR SALON with a shampoo bowl with reclining chair, a vanity with chair for styling, bottles and a chaise for lounging while you wait your turn. Notice the artwork on the wall above the chaise and another wig on display. The top floor is the employee lounge and has a pink kitchen with sink, stove and counter with croissant. A table with flowers has two white stools and a red coffee cup. Check out the sconce lights and a “painting” on the wall.

DETAILS: Project contains approximately 1,200 bricks and parts and includes three minifigures as shown, (2 females, one male). The front sidewalk is constructed of white and transparent green smooth tiles and does not match other building sidewalks of larger-scale architectural projects from the manufacturer, however the light bluish gray curb does match. There are no technic bricks with holes on the sides for joining to other structures. Finished model weighs approximately 3 pounds. Model measures 5 inches wide and 10 inches deep at the base plate. Building stands approximately 11 1/4 inches tall at the highest point of the skylight roof peak.
