LEGO Zoo #0012: Water Fountain

Here's a water fountain.  That's all I have time for this week.

What's that you say?  There's no water?  Fine, here's some water made with MS Paint.

LEGO Zoo #0006: Hamburger Stand

More food this week;  we'll get to some healthier stuff later, but for the moment let's fill up on a zoo cafe staple -- hamburgers.  A lot of zoos convert old animal houses that are no longer suitable for habitation into concession buildings, so cafes and food stands sometimes have much older architectural styles than the exhibits around them.  I envisioned this hamburger stand with Georgian architecture, which would fit with older zoo themes:

You may have noticed the hinges in the photo above.  As with previous sets, I've included moving parts for a reason:

You can remove the roof and rotate the two halves away from each other to reveal the interior of the shop:

Let's start our tour of the shop at the back, where Seth is busy at the grill:

 

 

Immediately to Seth's right is the cash register, where Annalise enters new orders:

Above the cash register is the monitor that displays the orders as they come in:

 The drawers of the cash register do actually function, so I decided to add some extra props:

To Annalise's right is the drink machine:

Last of all, opposite to the grill, is the sink and all of the additional utensils:

I also made a couple of shaded tables of different sizes:

Put all of these together with some stylish planters, and you have a decent little eating area:

Of course, if you add the dessert carts from two weeks ago, you're bordering on a full-fledged food court:

LEGO Zoo #0004: Dessert Carts

This week's design is small but highly important -- what would the zoo experience be without foods that are great for your tastebuds and terrible for your body?  First up is the popcorn cart:

I had to create a few different models for the popcorn box, as the basic version was taller than a minifigure's head when held by the bottom.

Next up is the ice cream cart, for guests with a sweet tooth:

For the design of the freezer I wanted to keep some of the functionality of the real machine.  The top lifts off just enough to get a scoop in.

Also, here's a trashcan:

Put them together and you have enough calories to undo any of the fitness you got walking around the zoo.
