From Billund to Bangkok...
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
Minifigures have been for a walk
On a winter's day
You could be safe and warm
If you were in L.A.
California dreamin'
Transport yourself to the sun & surf and build this replica of
California’s iconic Los Angeles County lifeguard tower.
Built to scale with many amazing features including:
- Removable roof granting access to lifeguard essentials
- Moveable windows and doors to shade from sun and protect from
elements
- Palm trees providing shade for a nice read
- Pesky seagulls hunting for food
- Beachgoer accessories including inner tube and ice cold drinks
- Lifeguard accessories including first aid kit and emergency flotation
devices
- Minifigures – 2 tourists, 2 lifeguards (give Series 2 & 12
ones a home)
Some fun facts about the real lifeguard towers:
- 158 lifeguard towers line
the Los Angeles County coastline
- The American flag is flown to indicate the tower is occupied
- A red flotation device (known as a can) attached to the building
indicates the lifeguard is inside - not on the sand or in the water
- A bucket is always placed at the base of the ramp to wash sand and
salt off the feet of the lifeguards
- The structures are moveable by tractor
Thanks to Los Angeles Magazine for these fun facts.
Since the 1950’s this
small simple structure has inspired artists from generation to generation. Now it is your turn…
Red bathing suit not
required, however David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, or the rest of the Baywatch crew may say otherwise --
