Picnic in the City
This creation is a vintage scene of a picnic in the city. Detailed basket and goodies, and a Roberts ‘50s retro radio playing Elvis. It includes a small replica of a proportionate bicycle, 1936-1937 LaFrance Super-Streamline – Huffman Built. This 1930’s art-deco bicycle was a top-of-the-line model even though it did not feature a tank. The seat is a “tornado spring saddle” in leather orange-brown; the bicycle in a sand green depicts the elegant styling of the 1930s. Some differences between this replica and the true model is exclusion of the head/tail lights, the chain guard and the chain - but hoping to add these details eventually.
The lamppost is of a Victoria Kensington style, and its original purpose was to support the frame weight of the bicycle. It now is an important feature of this display, adding to the retro feel of the creation.

What started out as a challenge to use the Hailfire Droid tyres became one of my favourite builds to date! I started this creation with wanting to build a vintage bike, in a colour what would be a bit challenging but also be most accurate to the colour scheme of this model of bicycle.
The framing of the bike is mostly connected by flex tube, initially I had wanted to keep the bike up by the kickstand but with the weight I was forced to create an anchor point for the bike to stay up from, hence the lamp post! There have been quite the challenges with this creation, gravity being my biggest foe! My focus was to create the bike as proportionate as possible, which meant finding ways to recreate the bends and curves of the frame.
The picnic scene came much after when I thought about a memory of the last time I rode my bike in the summer. Living in the city for the past 14 years, I was initially upset as a child that picnics were had just steps away from highways but my dad explained that driving out a few hours to eat food outside on a blanket was ridiculous! Some of my fondest summer memories are on a bike; the last time I had adventured with my dad was on one.
For the picnic, I started imagining how to build fruit to this proportion and realized that alot of new minifigure elements would come in handy. The basket ended up working tremendously, even though initially I had made a joke about how ridiculous the idea was to use Barney Main’s roofing technique as a basket’s weave. I spent 2 days during BrickCan Vancouver putting these hands on with tweezers and as you might imagine everyone who witnessed this thought I was nuts (I still don’t have feeling in my thumb).
This creation was initially showcased at BrickCan in Vancouver and shockingly won both in the Best Art category and Best in Show overall. This will also be at BrickWorld Chicago, Skærbæk, BrickCon and Brick Generation Days in Italy.
Big hugs to Markus for dealing with me and editing this baby, can’t ever do it without you; to Adam for breaking my bike in Vancouver and teaching me that water bottles shouldn’t be left to anchor mocs; and to Team Bicycle, I always want to ride BI-CY-CLE.

During a visit to Llandudno in April 1987, I came across a pair of Kassbohrer Setra S228DT Imperial coaches from the fleet of Autocars Maisonneuve, Macon, France. The passengers look to be holding up the traffic as a local taxi driver looks on. The Streamline Chrysler was in its final year of service.
