Mmm. I remember admiring this before. I only wish I had enough 1x1
curve-top bricks to make big awnings. As it is, my Pirate ships have
most of 'em.

Wow, sounds like one of those Japanese-esque all-in-one bathroom
stalls - shower, toilet, sink, etc, all in one.

Not all my minifigs live so well...
Given my lack of town housing, I think all my other minis live in
my apartment building (the red one in the background of a few of the

The interior space is 14x28, less the elevator shaft makes 362 pips
per floor, times 6 floors is 2172 pips of living space.

I've got about 300 minifigs, 112 of whom are living the sailor's life
right now on Pirate ships.

6 more in cryo sleep,

leaves about 173. Less than ten pips per minifig - I think
they'd better use bunk beds. At least they've got a roof-top patio.

Why do I get the impression that "Brickea" is pronounced Bry-KEE-uh ?

Keep building! Keep posting the results! Show us your new bathroom!

| Wow, this is a lot of excellent house in a tricky package! But I especially fawn over the fixtures! The Rich/Elliott bathroom measuring 6x6 has it all: toilet, shower, sink, window, door. Wow! I really like the shower curtain rod effect, a great (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.arch)
