Blockcade 4 – Cocktails for two

Another simple one today – I love cocktail (or tabletop) arcade machines, so of course they had to feature in the Blockcade.

Variations on a theme

We start with a Telescope for a leg (although you can use any of the cone style pieces, I just happened to have four of these)

Add a 3×4 minifig base

And a 1×3 plate to the side

Topped with a 1×3 flat plate

Add the other legs (I don’t know why the designer adds them in such an odd order)

We use a 1×2 plate with a single knob to hold the screen

Repeat the 1×3 plate and flat plate on the other side

Add a 2×2 flat plate to act as a screen

The control panel is a 1×2 with four knobs

Add a button and a joystick – I use Microphones, but any small 1×1 shaft will do

Repeat on the other side and attach to the bottom of the table

You can vary the theme a little bit – I quite like the coke can and coin on my other model, but that loses the central positioning of the screen – and, also, they’re non-standard pieces.

No cabinet graphics on these, although there is space for instruction cards. Screen graphics need to be cropped to 15mm x 15mm

And the classic spacies
