One of the best things about LEGO is that it encourages creativity, which both young and adult fans can enjoy. And LEGO cities stand at the top of personal creations, with vehicles being a staple pick to make them feel more natural.
But those vehicles don't have to range between grocery getters and supercars. Little details like this hotdog van can make a LEGO city feel alive. This particular creation comes from the user artkazmin, who uploaded it on the Ideas website on March 31.
And since I mentioned it's designed to be included inside an MOC LEGO city, it's worth noting that implies this build is relatively small in size, adhering to the eight-stud-side architecture. Despite its diminutive stature, however, it is filled to the brim with details, which is a pleasant surprise.
Starting on the outside, one of the most fantastic bits of attention to detail in this set is that it can be arranged in various ways. It includes three minifigures, two of which run the hotdog van while the third one is the designated customer. This choice allows the van to be displayed in some realistic circumstances.
One of the minifigures who run the van can be displayed setting out the table, or the customer can be placed at the table enjoying a plastic hotdog. On top of that, the van looks fantastic, painted in red and yellow, representing the famous ketchup and mustard toppings. It also has a menu and some donuts displayed in the windows, along with a giant hotdog on top and a minifigure mascot dressed as the staple street food, making it feel like a genuine hotdog van.
The interior is even more fascinating, as the creator managed to pack a frankly absurd amount of details inside this van. The most interesting element here is the inclusion of an actual cooking station for the hotdogs, complete with a grill for the wieners and a stand for the buns and donuts.
But no street food stand would be complete if it didn't also serve beverages to go with the donuts, so this van does. And the drink of choice is coffee, so there's an espresso machine on the wall opposite the grill.
This is impressive for two distinct reasons. The first one is that it's a considerable challenge to pack so many details into a build of this size. On the other hand, it's awe-inspiring how much thought and attention to detail the user who came up with this set put into it.
Everything that should be present inside a hotdog van has been included here, making it seem surprisingly realistic. So, considering how detailed this set is and how well it would fit inside a LEGO city, it's worth showing some support.
