A linking block 1 for use in making a model structure comprises a body with three bores aligned along three intersecting axes, x, y and z. A pair of spaced lugs 2 project from the body and have holes 3 which are aligned along an offset axis 4 spaced from the x, y plane so that the linking block can be attached to a further block by virtue of the lugs embracing with projections on the further block locating in the holes 3 in the lugs. The linking block may be one of a plurality of such blocks forming part of a kit of parts for making a model structure. The kit further comprises a plurality of core blocks (8, 9, 10 figure 8-14) each being constituted by a plurality of aligned modules having a common through bore with each module having cross-bores orthogonal to one another and to the common through bore. The openings of the cross-bores have bosses (12) complementary in shape to the holes in the lugs 2 so that the lugs can embrace any end module in a selected one of three possible orientations and any intermediate module in a selected one of two possible orientations, the kit also comprising a plurality of pins (13) which fit within the bores of the linking blocks and the core blocks to interconnect the blocks and enable the model structure to be constructed. The structure may be a model stadium. |
