For this, third episode of Secret Lego, we're gonna return to the brilliant multi-purpose wine-glass brick:
There it is. These come in many different colours, but the main ones are clear (as above) and black. It's used often as any sort of liquid-holding vessel (glass, cup, tankard), and also sometimes for spaceship greeblies due to their bumpy nature.
But what is so special about this brick? Well none other than the 'uniring', a little ledge on the inside of the brick used to wedge other bricks in, such as...
- The 1x1 circular plate: this has the all-important 'wedge', the circular protrusion that must be a certain diameter.
- The frying-pan brick: quite a useful brick for tennis rackets, but quite useless if you try and use it in this context.
- 2x2 parabolic dish: looks great as a lamp with a lampshade.
- Ice-cream brick: Well, duh! But why would anyone want an ice-cream in a glass??
- Large, tubed pole: A great way of mounting this pole is using it on top of a wine-glass brick. Looks great as a pillar / stand for something.
- 2x2 disc plate: these can be found almost anywhere, from clock faces to pizzas. Mmm, pizza.
...and many more besides! So go on, have fun with that brilliant brick, and remember:
Sshhh! It's a secret!
