I was recently contacted by the folks at Mini Materials offering me a free sample of their miniature cinder blocks to try. Quite awhile ago, there were some cinder block fridge magnets for sale elsewhere but I missed out on those. I was overjoyed to know Mini Materials was making the real deal in 1:12 scale with no pesky magnet I would need to remove. They sent me a 24 pack on a wood pallet and a bag of loose broken blocks.
Awesome possum. April used that expression recently, and I have to say that perfectly describes these miniature cinder blocks. :D

The 24 blocks come on a wood pallet…also awesome. :D

Yes, you can buy the pallets alone.

They even sell the random broken bits, which I think is brilliant. If you’re doing an old scene, like Milo Valley Farm, having broken bits is especially useful. Cuts down on waste for them, too.

The pieces were well packed.

Thanks so much, Mini Materials, for sending along the blocks and pallet. I already have some ideas spinning. Who wants me to leave off a wheel on the 240ZG and prop a block under it? How else will I show off the fabulous work on the inner wheel parts?
