Description

Raw material, not a model

There is no model to build here. The set is a collection of narrow plates meant for your own ideas, which was the whole point of the Bulk Bricks range: builders who simply needed more material rather than another finished motif. At 84 pieces the quantity is large enough for bigger surfaces, frames and reinforcements without forcing you to buy several packs, yet small enough to sort through on the kitchen table in a single sitting, and the pieces are ready to use as soon as they are out of the bag.

Eight shapes, one colour

Every piece is black, and there are eight different plate lengths. That keeps things simple. The parts list on this page shows how the 84 plates are divided among the eight types. A single-colour assortment has the advantage that you can start building without thinking about colour schemes, and it combines well with bricks of other colours whenever you want contrast, stripes or a clean dark edge on a larger project. Black is also a safe choice if you are unsure about the final colour scheme.

What black plates are good for

Narrow black plates make roads, rails, fences and borders, and they work equally well as hidden layers that make a model sturdier. On vehicles they form chassis and baseplates; on buildings they become window frames and roof edges. If you build mosaics or pixel pictures, they give you dark outlines. Because they are so versatile, they rarely stay in the box for long and tend to move from one project to the next, whether for a toy room or a hobby build.

Fitting it into your collection

For collectors this is mostly a top-up pack. To see what you could build with your existing stock plus these plates, use the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria. It is not a flashy set, but it is a practical one. These are the pieces you rarely miss on purpose, until the day you need exactly that thin black plate and discover there is not a single one left in your boxes.
