Description

A lorry for the building site

No building site is complete without a cement mixer, since it delivers the concrete to wherever the pouring happens. The set shows such a vehicle at City scale and belongs to the Construction line. At 213 pieces it is a compact model that can be built in an evening, and it combines well with diggers, cranes and site-worker figures from other sets in a collection. If a site is already set up on your shelf, the mixer finds a sensible place there at once.

A sober palette with a blue accent

Black, light bluish grey, blue and white are the most frequent colours. The grey and black fit the chassis and mechanics, while blue and white make the vehicle instantly recognisable. If you want to put together a building site with several machines, this combination of colours looks good next to yellow diggers and orange barriers, and it fits the many other vehicles in a typical City layout. Grey road plates and signs complete the scene without forcing you to juggle many colours.

One minifigure and many special parts

The driver is the only minifigure in the set. The variety is noteworthy: 73 of the 213 pieces are different designs, pointing to many special elements for the cab, drum and running gear. If you buy a second-hand copy, it pays to check against the parts list, above all the pieces of the mixing drum, which tend to go astray on vehicles of this kind. With the list in hand you see immediately which pieces are missing and whether the price is worth it.

Building on with what you have

Even once the mixer has served its time, the parts stay useful. With the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria you can find out which other vehicles or buildings are possible with these bricks and your own collection. Ideas range from a delivery van to a site cabin, and you need not hunt for new parts, because you simply use what already sits on your shelf. That saves money and encourages creativity.
