PINK GLITTER ICE CREAM TRUCK

PINK GLITTER ICE CREAM TRUCK. This custom building kit comes complete with a female minifigure, her name is EBONY.

Greetings BRICK TRICK BLOG Friends!

We've come up with another custom building kit using ever-popular PINK BRICKS!

The PINK GLITTER ICE CREAM TRUCK has ice cream scoops and other goodies in the freezer compartment, which you can see into through the clear windows on either side of the vehicle. There is also a cool ice cream"sign" on the top of the truck complete with a cherry-topped ice cream sundae which sits in a pink glitter brick "dish". Blue overall-clad gal pal EBONY is the truck driver and is a very popular ice cream girl around our brick town.

More photos follow in this posting and complete directions, along with a parts list will be available in a separate posting. You can use your own bricks or the PINK GLITTER ICE CREAM TRUCK custom building kit will also be sold in the BRICK TRICK DUDE online Ebay store.

Enjoy!

Below: A close-up of EBONY driving the PINK GLITTER ICE CREAM TRUCK. Inside the freezer compartment, (visible through the windows), we can see ice cream scoops and other goodies. Note the pink glitter bricks at the top of the image, which are used to create the "dish" portion of the ice cream truck signage.



Above: In this shot we see the backside of the PINK GLITTER ICE CREAM TRUCK which has red transparent "tail lights" and red profile bricks are used to indicate the "freezer vents". Other cool parts include the orange plates used for "fenders" and the chassis and the magenta 4x4 peg plate which serves as the roof of the truck freezer.

CITY HALL • TOWN PLAN SET

CITY HALL • TOWN PLAN SET

Greetings BRICK TRICK BLOG Friends!

We recently acquired the TOWN PLAN set, and while we usually like to design and build our own models, we like this set because of the many unusual and hard-to-find colors it has such as dark red on the cinema. The CITY HALL is constructed of DARK GREEN bricks, a color which is very hard to locate and highly sought after. Philip built the CITY HALL following the directions included in the set. We've already got plans on how to modify the building and add on more floors and space!

Below: The interior of the CITY HALL is easily visible as it is designed to be backless. This is often called "doll house" style.

RED BOW WINDOW HOUSE

RED BOW WINDOW HOUSE

Greetings BRICK TRICK BLOG Friends!

We've all been busy building here in the BRICK TRICK studio, though Philip continues to create the most prolific amount of new work. So much new work, we actually had to take some things apart to make room for more BRICKS!

This posting features the RED BOW WINDOW HOUSE which was inspired by buildings of this type built here in SAN FRANCISCO, mostly in the 1950's. Many of these buildings are painted with very bold colors and the bow window architectural feature is a highly sought after element in resale homes. Philip took pictures of numerous bow window houses and studied the architecture before building this sculpture.

Below: A close-up shot shows the BOW WINDOW created with hinge plates and clear bricks.

Above: A close-up of the first floor exterior shows the front entrance and garage door. Note the light fixture created using a goblet and a transparent cone.
