Display at Times Square Toys Exhibition 2013

Times Square Shopping Mall invited BULAT to display at their Toys Exhibition which was held form 4th - 8th September 2013.  The BULAT display was in the center of the mall facing the stage.  BULAT trooped out the usual tried and tested city display, this time with a tunnel and a large housing area.  Packed in the display were a number of easter egg details.  This was the first time that the SOAS mosque, back from its trip to Thailand, was displayed in Brunei.

Take out all the furnitures

Place it down the green baseplate after 8 studs

The living room

Take off the furnitures

Should look like this 

Take out 1 of the white plate 1x4 modified with 2 studs and move the other to the middle

Take the lime green 1x2 tile from the playground area

Put it next to the white plate

Aerial view

I placed the kitchen like this without the extra table

I placed the living room furnitures like this

The backyard with the BBQ grill and the kitchen table and chairs

The pavement using the existing bricks (will add more later)

Now lets do the 1st floor

Take out the lime green 1x2 tiles from these places

Place the 2 walls together like so

Take out the 1x4 and 1x6 bricks

Switch them with each other

Now place them so it connects the pink plates together

Now this side should be stable

Take out this white plate again and place the 1x3 white tile in the middle

Place a white 1x2 tile and a lime green 1x2 tile

Take out the white 1x4 plate and place the other to the middle

Place 2 pcs of lime green 1x2 tiles next to it

Use 2pcs of 2x4 plates to make sure the pink plates connect to each other

Now the first floor should be firm and stable

Place the 1st floor on top of the ground floor

Add 2 pieces of 2x2 plates under the roof

Now try placing the roof on top of the 1st floor

Replace with pink tiles and cheese slopes for the chair

Like so

Put the chair back to the rooftop

Now place it on the 1st floor and replace the yellow 1x2 brick with a lime green 1x2 brick

Use 1x1 round plate and place like so

Place 1x4 lime green tiles on top of them bricks

I also did an alternative gate for the backyard

Place the white 1x4 plates on top of it

These are my setup for the pavement with the lamp post, sunflower and the mailbox. The Metallic Silver Grille I took from the BBQ.

Front view

Another close up

I took out one of the Metallic Silver 1x2 Grille and replace with 1x1 round plate

Placed the drumstick on the hollow 1x1 round plate so it will stick
