I have the penultimate collection of monofigure habitats to show you today. They are The Fish Breeder, The Racing Mechanic and The Lovers.

The Fish Breeder and her habitat are built in Bright Light Blue. She has a hatchery in her lab and she is taking some samples from the fish to make sure they are fit and healthy. The shelf above is full of useful things she needs such as fish food.

The Racing Mechanic has retired to her workshop to do some panel-bashing on her latest car repair. The theme of this Magenta habitat was heavily influenced by the crash helmet and car bonnet which were both available in this colour.

The Lovers are meeting in secret by their favourite fountain. They are each from very diverse backgrounds but love transcends their differences. The boughs of a Medium Azure tree protect them above and offer a degree of privacy for their clandestine tryst.

My recent haul from Watford has given me quite a few useful pieces to construct another Micropolis block – things like white 1×2 and pale blue 1×1 bricks. I combined these with some pink 1×2 SNOT bricks (47905 with two studs on opposite sides – I didn’t have any of the more appropriate one-sided version, 87087). The high rise residential tower Pastel Heights was born.

I added some landscaping in the rear courtyard so the residents will have somewhere nice to sit. And the penthouse flat takes up the whole of the top floor. The view from up there must be great!

Once again, I used the same elements on each floor but varied their placement to give some variety to the build. I topped it off with some magenta sloped bricks I had in my drawer (I think at least some of them were in one of the earliest Creative Brick Boxes 10698 I bought last year and have been wondering what to do with since). Plus some white 2×2 turntable bases and 1×2 grilles for roof greebles.
