Tips and Tricks #17
Posted by Catarino,
Hello everyone Tiago here to help you enjoy the summer! Or at least your minifigures...
To set the mood of the season, here are some summer builds.
Ice cream machine
How I miss a nice ice cream under the sun. This little build here does not take away the feeling, it's the opposite and now I have to go and buy myself some!
I love how the 1x1 bricks with colour and a couple well-chosen elements make for the perfect mechanism. Oh, and the stack of cones! Can you tell I'm proud of this one?
Jet Ski
This is one of those "I've never done this in my life but would love to" kind of builds!
It seems like a really cool thing to do and in LEGO, very easy to achieve!
Swimming pool
I had to cancel some holiday plans due to these crazy times, and I was very much looking forward to this...
Things are getting better though so hopefully this won't just be a LEGO build, but something we can all enjoy safely during this summer! The way the 1x2x5 bricks are connected sideways is worth checking the video!
Be safe! Build Something Fun Today, and talk to you soon!

Love the pool, you can rip your minifigs in half and make them "swim"!
Ah, the pool....
Oh yes, I’m definitely building that pool in some lucky minifig’s garden. Have to stay cool in these increasingly warmer climates.

But be sure you use the upper halves otherwise it would look rather stupid.
Haha, looks like my comment was edited. Apologies Huw, I’ll be more careful with such matters in the future :-)
The swimming pool is nice, but I LOVE how you've achieved the stack of ice-cream cones. Such a simple idea, but it captures the design absolutely perfectly.
Love the pool! A really nice looking build.
I'm not sure the jet ski is much of a tip. I feel like we see that sort of thing very often in sets XD
@GeordiePaul, all good things come to those that wait (until next week I think!)
I second @bugman03 on the pool :)
ice cream machine is nice. Jet ski is doesn't look special compare to the ones from the city theme. The pool looks cool but seems too small to be a pool.

they could be doing a headstand
I love how you made the stack of cones on the ice cream machine and the ladder on the pool!
I see the pool....
And the ice cream...
And the jetski...
Then I look out side at our rainy, windy freezing cold weather...
From Down Under ;D
The jet ski is my favorite. Good job!
It's so awesome, but summer's over and school is in session.
