Enjoy your idyllic Farm Holidays

A boy’s dream becomes reality as he and his parents spend their holidays on the farm. Explore a model full of little stories and details of the farm life. The farm comes with a big farmhouse, a barn with a garden, a tree, a van, and many accessories such as a wheelbarrow and a kite.

Pieces: 2044
Minifigures: 5
Animals: 2 cows, bird, squirrel, bunny, bees, ladybug and a brick-built stork
Decorations: 4 stickers were designed to give the model even more details ('Farm Shop' sign, 'Old MacBricker' book, toilet door & number plate)

Farmhouse

The half-timber house is inspired by real European farm buildings I got to visit in my youth or later as an adult. The model can be displayed either open or closed. On the outside you can find the stairs to the upper floor, a bunny hatch, an outhouse, many flowers and a stork nest on the roof. The inside reveals a shop for many farm-made goods, like vegetables, milk, honey & jam. Take a break at the coffee table at the window front or rest upstairs in the attic.

Barn

Open the huge barn doors or lift the roof to explore the wooden barn. It shelters the cows, a hayloft and a workbench. Outside is a birdhouse and the farm garden with a pump to water the vegetables: cauliflower, tomatoes, kohlrabi, carrots & more.

Tree & Van

The farmyard gets completed with a tall tree (23 cm / 9 inch) and a pick-up van. Around the tree trunk are two beehives and in the branches a kite got tangled up. The van fits a Minifigure and the tailgate can be opened to haul up the boxes on the flatbed.

Practicability

To make sure the digital design actually works and looks good in real bricks, I made a Proof of Concept. I built the model with real bricks as good as I could and added a photo at the end of the picture gallery.
