IB 238-1 Coco’s Neighbour’s House
Read more: IB 238-1 Coco’s Neighbour’s HouseRight next to Coco’s House, quietly standing in the background of Idea Book 238-1, there is another charming little building — smaller, simpler, but just as full of character. I like to imagine it as Coco’s Neighbour’s House. In the original illustration, it appears almost discreetly, partially hidden among taller structures. Yet its clean façade,…

Read more: Ideas Book 238-1 : Tiny blue basic houseThis page of Ideas Book 238-1 shows how to build basic house walls with windows. This one is faily easy to build, sitting on a early baseplate. I didn’t add the tree in this rendering because this part is missing in stud.io. This house doesn’t use slopes for the roof, which is typical from this…

Set 400 : old wind mill
Read more: Set 400 : old wind millThis page explores one of the most charming non-vehicle builds featured in LEGO set 400: the old-style windmill illustrated on the original 1960s packaging insert. Long before LEGO sets became theme-driven, models like this windmill reflected everyday rural life. With its tall blue tower, simple pitched roof, and four broad sails, the design clearly draws…
