A Great Big BURP

I recently acquired set 6766 - Rapid River Village, which besides including cloth teepees also has 3 LURPs (Little Ugly Rock Piece) and 5 BURPs (Big Ugly Rock Piece).  Now I don't mind these, as they do serve as a replacement for creating large rocky scenes, even if they are a bit of cheat.

So I thought, let's show a little love to these often despised pieces and after a little thought, using only 1x2 bricks I came up with these :

A BURP in Yellow

A LURP in Lime and Green

A BURP in trans-black and a transparent LURP



You may notice that neither of these are hollow, mainly I wanted to strengthen the shape. Also, as I only used 1x2s the top of the BURP is not correct.

Now that's all well and good, but what I really want is a Great Big BURP (GB-BURP).

So this time I decided to up the scale somewhat and go for 4 x 4 brick x 3 high (using 2x4 bricks) to equal a normal 1x1 brick.

A GB-LURP over 500 2 x 4 bricks

A GB-BURP over 600 2 x 4 bricks, plus a few 2 x 6s for the bit at the top.


I knew all those PAB bricks would come in handy !

Who says you shouldn't build a mountain with BURPs, all you need is a couple of big ones...
