Bayko

A small construction using an old British Bayko set.

I got this set a few months ago, after having coveted one for years. They seem never to have been imported in the US.

Unfortunately, as is so often the case, the "complete" set wasn't, and many pieces were broken, so it took me until last night to actually get up gumption to try building something.

Quite different from anything I have built with before.

Fun.

I'll be coming back to it, for building and for blogging.

A nice variation in block play.

nah

stick stiff metal wire pieces in holes in base

slide wall pieces into gaps between wires (or holes onto wires)

wires align & provide vertical support

set roof on top
