Hey everyone! I'm going to show you how to build an above ground pool that is scaled for
minifigures for today's LEGO brick tutorial. Let's begin with a 32 by 32 stud plate. You can even use
a MILS plate as well. On the bottom-right, we're going to place four 2 by 2 flat tiles. This is
going to be the base for our step ladder. In this area, I want to skip three studs and place
a 1 by 2 flat tile, and then we're going to set down a few more flat tiles, in this area with
a pair of 1 by 2 flat tiles, and in this area a 1 by 1 flat tile and a 2 by 2 jumper plate. Now the
jumper plates are going to be used to attach, you know minifigures and accessories to the
bottom of the pool. So I'm going to place five of these in a row. Then I'm going to proceed on
with a 1 by 1 flat tile and a 1 by 2 flat tile. Now right above those, I'm going to set down
a few more 1 by 2 flat tiles. These are going to be evened up with the 1 by 1 flat tiles,
and on the left-hand side, a pair
of 1 by 2 flat tiles perpendicular to each other. Then I'm going to grab eight more
2 by 2 jumper plates. We're going to place them in this area.
Now if you don't have a lot of jumper plates, you can also substitute
2 by 2 flat tiles in the area as well, and in these two areas a pair of one by one flat tiles
now i'm going to mirror these parts on the top portion
for the stationary supports for our pool take a 2 by 4 flat tile let's flip this over
on the bottom portion a 1 by 4 plate
and on the top portion a pair of 1 by 2 by 1 by 2 upwards angular plates place these as shown
and a 1 by 4 brick with four studs we're going to place this on the 1 by 4 plate let's make two
of these let's take our two side supports i'm going to place one right here it's right in the
center of this 2x2 jumper plate and this one on this side as well right across from this support
let's make another set of side supports with a 2 by 4 flat tile we're going to flip this over
place a 1 by 4 plate the bottom portion and on the top portion a pair of upwards 1 by 2
by 1 by 2 angler plates now i want to place another 1 by 4 plate on top of the previous
and to correct an offset issue i'm going to take a 1 by 2 brick with two studs i want to set the
inside of the studs inside the pegs except in like so we have an offset take a 1 by 1 brick with one
stud we'll place it on the other peg let's make two of these in our last two supports we're going
to place these in this 1 by 3 opening where they are across one another for the remaining sides of
our pole take a 2 by 4 flat tile we're going to flip this over place a 1 by 4 plate the bottom
portion of the tile and on the top portion a set of 1 by 2 by 1 by 2 upwards angular plates now
we're going to need to make two of these i want to take one of these assemblies i want to take
two 1 by 2 plate hinges place these on where the opening side is here and the stub is in the back
so i'm going to place one on the other side then take our other assembly i'm going to set this
under one side of the plate hinge and i'm going to crown these two studs off with another 1 by
2 plate hinge let's make three of these let's install our three side assemblies i'm gonna start
spinning these up in such a way that we can attach them on these two sides you may want to set it
like this we'll just swing that in place should lock right in place do the same thing for this one
set one end down we'll just swing that right in there
everything will rest in pretty snug and it will hit up against these tiles and we're going to do
this one right here take this one and we'll swing that right into this side support
let's take a 1 by 4 plate i'm going to set a 2 by 2 plate on one side this is going to be the side
with the pump then a 1 by 2 by 1 by 2 upwards angler plate place that right there
and we're going to set down a 1 by 2 flat tile and a 1 by 2 plate here now on the right hand side
a 1 by 2 jumper plate
and a hollow 1 by 1 stud and let's crown off these two studs with a 1 by 2 plate hinge
set this off to the side take an upwards 1 by 2 by 1 by 2 angler plate i'm going
to place the tile inside the angler plate then a 1 by 2 plate hinge we'll set that
like so where the this portion is hanging over on the right hand side and then a 1 by 4 flat tile
this is going to lock in this whole assembly set that right on top we're going to slide
this off to the side here take an upwards 1 by 2 by 2 by 2 angular plate on the left hand side
a 1 by 1 brick and on the right hand side a 1 by 1 brick with one stud and i'm going to crown off
these two studs here with a 1 by 2 by 2 3 slope now here i'm going to take a tap set the tap down
like so where it's parallel with this side here and on the top i'm going to face off these studs
with a 2x2 dome now i want to slide in this assembly
in both the 1x2 plate and the hollow studs you may have to multitask a little bit there
now take a 2 by 4 flat tile we're going to flip this over place a 1 by 4 plate on the
bottom portion and a pair of 1 by 2 by 1 by 2 upwards angular plates on the top portion
i'm going to flip this over and i'm going to set my 1 by 2 plate hinge on the left hand side
take our previous assembly and set this on top
for our side with the pool pump let's take our pump assembly we're going to set this part of the
side right here which is like with the other three sides i'm going to swing this one right into place
and the pump just sits right on the ground with the pool there let's start with a 2 by 4 plate
let's set down a pair of 1 by 2 modified plates with holders place them on as shown
and on the other sides two regular 1 by 2 plates i'm going to lock these plates together with a
2 by 2 flat tile set that right in the center then i'm going to take some of these ladders
that will fit in a 1 by 4 by 3 frame i'm going to snap these right inside the holders
and four little hand rails a couple of modified 1 by 2 plates with
a handrail let's place our ladder assembly right on top of these two 1 by 2 hinge plates
set that down firm and we're just going to fold the ladders down let's finish up the sides
with 10 1 by 4 flat tiles now these are not only going to smooth off the
studs on top of the plate hinges but secure the sides as well to keep everything
nice and square just place these down and yes there is some
spots open in the bottom of the pool don't worry we're going to hide that
with some transparent light blue and clear studs now i'm not sure how much is in this drawer
but it's just enough to fill in the pool i'll have the correct piece count in the manual we'll just
kind of pat that down there a bit and get it nice and leveled makes great water and
hides all those nasty cracks too here we have jade the surfer and he can climb up the ladder
and take a dip in the pool you just have to move him around and find a stud so he can
attach himself and it is the right height for minifigures so this whole build is
skilled for figures and in addition we can put ourselves a few
pool floats in here as well i do have tutorials for these and makes a nice
cool refreshing pool
