Lego was never this fun. New building block material

[Fergmiester]

This is a new building block material that I recently received from Dave Batemen of Model Rail Structures.

I've started to experiment with them and there's lots of potenetial! I plan on making more abutments and building foundations using this stuff. I use Zap a gap to piece them together.

I take it those are single bricks?

 

[dnhouston]

Very nice. I recently received a few bags of that stuff myself. Now I need to use it somewhere. Thanks for the inspiration!

Yes, that's the beauty of this stuff, you can cut it, shape it, sand it, paint it. It's very versatile.

Fergie,

I discovered the Lego Secret years ago when I was scratchbuilding steel mill structures and machinery. I can easily cement them to styrene, butyrate and PVC using PlasticWeld.

Fergie, I like the looks of the blocks, how easy are they to trim to make a little smaller? I was going to order a few packs of them to sctrach build the block culvert that'll be on my layout.

Nice job Fergie, 10/10

All you need to do is score them on both sides and snap them with pliers or your fingers.

I'm so happy with their potential I ordered four more bags.

I also like the looks of the blocks, where do you get them and how expensive are they? Mike

Or here:

The 2nd one is the actual manufacturer, the 1st one is a supplier.

 

[Steve B]

I think i'll give them a try, and maybe even do a special weekend photo fun dedicated to this product

 

[jbaakko]

Well then, looks like I'll only be order them from you . By the way, I'm really interested in that Stucco coating, I'm gonna have to order 2 bottles att he same time as I order the blocs.

 

[Steve B]

Josh i ordered a bag from hunterscenaryco, should be fun knocking something together
David i didn't see you made them till after i'd ordered them

 

[jbaakko]

David's gernerosity is amazing, he's sending me a sample, so I can see how they'll turn for the culvert!

I expect to be ordering some of these soon. I've been looking for bridge abuttments and haven't found any commercially available ones to my liking.
