Advice for Brickplayer beginners


So you have just acquired some Brickplayer. You may have a complete, or more or less complete kit, in which case you should just study the instruction booklet and off you go. Except you should also look at the building techniques page for some tips and guidance.

However, you may just have an assortment of bricks, windows and other bits. You may be lacking the instruction booklet; you may be lacking blueprints; you probably don't have all the bricks and windows that would have come with the original kit. Never fear! There is information on this website to get you started.

All the booklets and blueprints for the different versions of Brickplayer are available here for you to download. If you have traditional red-coloured bricks, go to the Standard Brickplayer page. If your bricks are a lighter, beige colour, then go to the Contemporary Brickplayer page. Download and study the relevant instruction booklet (and get the blueprints) and check that you have enough bricks and windows of the required sizes to make one or more of the models. You may not have the necessary roofing, but you can often make your own using sheets available from model shops that are made to look like tiling or concrete. And don't forget to look at the building techniques page for advice. In particular, it deals with how to work out the shapes and sizes for pieces of roofing if you have to make the roof from scratch.

And you can always get more bricks, windows, etc. For instance, Brickplayer items are regularly offered for sale on Ebay.
