A LITTLE PREPARATION
Gather your pieces
Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Colour names in the steps refer to the pictures; keep useful contrasts, such as a light belly against a dark body.

STEP 1 OF 9
Set two white wheeled bases in a line with two clear rows between them. Each already has four black wheels. Put a white small plate on the eight studs of each base.
STEP 2 OF 9
Lay two white wide plates end to end over the chassis. Centre the twelve-row floor so it extends one row beyond the back and front of the wheels.
STEP 3 OF 9
Join the floor seam with two purple long bricks side by side. Fill the rear and front sections with four more purple long bricks for a continuous stripe.
STEP 4 OF 9
Stand a white window frame across the back, with its hinge details facing backward. Put another along each side immediately in front of the rear frame, with both openings and hinges facing outward.
STEP 5 OF 9
Make the cab at the front with two blue squares side by side for windows. Add two white curves in front of them, rounded ends pointing forward.
STEP 6 OF 9
Roof the cab with a white square plate. Line its back edge up with the back of the blue windows.
STEP 7 OF 9
Cover the tall serving area with two purple square plates, end to end. Their back edge lines up with the rear wall; the front section projects toward the cab.
STEP 8 OF 9
Centre a brown round tower brick over the rear roof seam as a giant ice-cream cup sign.
STEP 9 OF 9
Top the cup with the cream round plate as a wide rim, then centre a cream cone above it as the soft-serve swirl. Leave the small top stud free.
THE LAST STEP OF THE GUIDE
Room for a little more imagination.
