PINK POP STAR CUSTOM BAND STAND

This posting features images of a fun project created by Brick Trick artist Trick Richey. In this custom creation the pop star is appearing on stage with her band which includes guitarist, keyboard player, drummer and back up singers wearing mariachi ponchos. The "Maraca Men" are also figures from "Series 2"; Trick used extra ponchos contained in each Series 2 minifigure package to outfit other band members for a cohesive costumed look. There are also several dozen minifigures in the "crowd" and even two police officers to keep things in order.

The giant pile of new bricks which just arrived is helping with our motivation as is the festive holiday season. This posting shows some brick "greenhouses" designed and built by MITCH. Be sure to check out the HOT PINK version further in this posting. These brick sculptures use clear transparent bricks and slopes for the greenhouse walls and roof.
