PUB-N-GRUB RESTAURANT CUSTOM MODULAR BUILDING

Greetings!

This posting features details and images for the "PUB-N-GRUB" RESTAURANT project which is currently up for auction on Ebay®. The PUB-N-GRUB RESTAURANT is an original creation from the Brick Trick Dude building studio here in San Francisco and is one-of-a-kind. Please scroll down to read more about this project and view additional pictures.

EXTERIOR: The PUB-N-GRUB RESTAURANT project features 3 stories of space constructed on a 16x32 peg base plate. The front exterior is decorated on the sidewalk level with awnings, flowers and a tree, as well as a cool tile design in the sidewalk. The second floor exterior has two arched windows with an awning, while the third floor exterior has two more arched windows with “stained glass” and an awning. The entire front façade is a sophisticated color scheme of dark green, dark red, tan and accents of black and white with pearl gold. The back and sides of the building are tan with accent stripes of black, white and dark green. The back features corner columns on either side of the building which match the front façade, windows on each floor, a ground level back door with awning, and a trash dumpster with broom. Modular construction techniques allow the roof and top floors to be removed for interior viewing and then easily re-stacked. The roof section also has a large “skylight”.

INTERIOR: The “PUB LOUNGE” occupies the interior of the ground floor. The pub space has high ceilings and features a bar with stools, a large “flat screen” TV above the bar, bottles and goblets, beverage dispensers, a cash register and a cozy table for two beneath the stylish gold and black spiral staircase which leads to the second floor. The entire ground floor is tiled in transparent green. The second floor is the dining room, with a trio of “deuce set-ups”; which is restaurant jargon meaning three tables for two. The dining room also has plants, elegant pearl gold railings and another spiral staircase, which leads to floor three. The top floor is the kitchen with sink, range with hood, roasting oven and warming oven with drumsticks, “sub zero” refrigerator, cabinets and a worktable.

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 smooth tiles, (and some accent colors), 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 front crown molding, and is about 12-1/2” high at the peak of the skylight on the roof.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009


Above: Image shows the cover of the box from the CITY TRAIN STATION kit which was a gift received by one of the BRICK TRICK artists during the holidays.

HAPPY NEW YEAR BRICK TRICK BLOG FRIENDS!

We hope you has a safe and healthy holiday season and that Santa brought you all the plastic bricks you wanted and lots more!

BRICK TRICK artist PHILIP BUCHAN was the recipient of numerous brick sets this year. You may have noticed that Philip prefers to design his own projects rather than build models from directions. However, Philip built several models he received this season including the CITY TRAIN STATION and a discontinued model of the CREATOR TOWN HOUSE. Philip built both of these projects and others following the printed manufacturers directions. More images of these projects will follow in subsequent postings. Meanwhile, Philip is working on plans to expand and improve all the kit models he built and customize them with his own details.

Many more pictures of these projects will follow. We'll also be posting building ideas for those who were recipients of BRICK TRICK DUDE custom mixes on Ebay.

Thanks again for checking in and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

TAN BANK BUILDING from the HOLIDAY TOWN

Greetings!

This posting features the TAN BANK BUILDING, another HOLIDAY TOWN addition. Designed and built by brick artist PHILIP BUCHAN, the TAN BANK BUILDING features two ATM machines and an awning on the front exterior. Interior features include a desk with chair and a teller window. The roof has a skylight constructed with clear transparent 1x2 plates.

As part of the Holiday theme, the TAN BANK BUILDING is decorated with a brick wreath. This was built using green 2x2 plates then adorned with red 1x1 caps. A large red flower with a gold/amber cap finish the look.

More images of the TAN BANK BUILDING follow.
