Build step by step

01

Step 1. Lay two black small plates side by side for the drip-tray base.

02

Step 2. Join the base plates with two white long bricks across the rear half, one on top of the other.

03

Step 3. Put one white wall brick down each side of the front half. The two middle columns stay clear for a paper cup.

04

Step 4. Add another white long brick across the back and a white square brick at each front corner. Together they bridge the top of the cup opening.

05

Step 5. Join the top with a red square plate. There is an open recess below the two front white squares.

06

Step 6. Put a black long brick across the rear half of the top for the control panel.

07

Step 7. Put a red square at the left and a yellow square at the right of the panel for fixed pretend controls.

08

Step 8. Add a black curve at the front of the red top plate, centred across it. Its rounded end projects forward as a fixed spout.

09

Step 9. Put a yellow round tower on the flat rows of the black spout for the pretend water tank. No real liquid goes in this model.
