LOG CABIN PROJECT

LOG CABIN PROJECT

Brick Trick artist Philip Buchan wanted to create a log cabin that actually had the look of logs. In this doll house style model, (that means the backside is open for viewing and/or play), Philip employs "palisade" style bricks in reddish-brown and sets the bricks on their sides to get the log effect. Please scroll down to view more images of this one-of-a-kind project.

Above and below: The reddish-brown palisade or "log" brick is available as a 1x4 peg or a 1x2 peg size brick.

Below: The LOG CABIN project from the back, which has been built "doll house style" for easy access to the interior.

This posting features details and images for the "PUB-N-GRUB" RESTAURANT project which is currently up for auction on Ebay®.

Please scroll down to read more about this project and view additional pictures.

View the sales listing for this project on Ebay®, CLICK HERE.

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.

This posting features images from another in the series of custom modular buildings designed and built here in the BRICKTRICK studio. While created to coordinate with other brick 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 TAN & DARK GREEN RETAIL FASHION BOUTIQUE is an original creation and is one-of-a-kind.

EXTERIOR: The TAN & DARK GREEN RETAIL FASHION BOUTIQUE project features 3 stories of space constructed on a 16x32 peg base plate. The front exterior is decorated on the sidewalk level with a fruit tree and a white tiled walkway with steps to the entrance, as well as custom tile in the sidewalk. The second floor exterior has two arched windows and the third floor exterior has two arched windows and “crown molding”. The rooftop features a large “skylight”. The entire front façade is an attractive scheme of dark green, tan, light bluish-gray and white. The back and sides of the building are entirely tan with accent stripes of white and light bluish-gray. The back features operable windows on each floor, a ground level back door, and a recycling dumpster with broom. Modular construction techniques allow the roof and top floors to be removed for interior viewing and then easily re-stacked.

INTERIOR: The RETAIL FASHION BOUTIQUE occupies the interior of both the ground and second floors. The first floor retail showroom features a cash register tucked under the stairs, a female “mannequin” in the front display window, a table of hats at the back, a fashion and hat display table and a wall-mounted display of pants and shirts. The entire floor is tiled in white and shiny green transparent tiles. The second floor has more clothes on display with a male “mannequin” wearing a top hat and tuxedo. Other fashion includes hats and uniforms, which are displayed on a table and along the wall. There is also a small fitting room. The top floor is a private office and staff lounge, with a bookshelf, desk with mug and chair, lateral files, a sofa and “glass” coffee table and accessories.

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.
