How small is Mini Materials' Mini Cinder Block Pallet? The 1:12 construction pieces measure 1.3" x 0.66" x 0.66" each, and you'll get 24 cinder blocks, plus their wooden pallet coaster in the set. So, small enough to hold in your hand. Small enough to display and tinker with on your desktop.
Mini Materials handmakes all Mini Cinder Blocks from their Florida workshop, and from real cement. The pallets consist of American pine, secured with miniature nails. A refreshingly low-tech and unique creation (I'd even go so far as to call the little blocks adorable) the Mini Cinder Block Pallet would make a swell gift for Dad this Father's Day, and possibly give you the edge as Favorite Child.
The Mini Cinder Block Pallet also comes with a 2-ounce jar of mortar and application stick.
