[![Small Table with a gun, drugs, ashtray and a bottle all made of Lego](media/images/In-a-Hotel-Room-in-Lego-City)](media/images/big/In-a-Hotel-Room-in-Lego-City)

The gun, drugs, ashtray and the bottle are all made out of Lego.

## Teardown

### Gun

<?= video('lego-gun.webm'); ?>

The gun is modeled after a Glock 17 and is loosely based on the [design of MyDifferentUserName](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr4nztU-OH0), although the interior is radically different and much more solid, at a cost of a minor bit of realism.

### Ashtray

[![Lego Ashtray](media/images/lego-ashtray)](media/images/big/lego-ashtray)

All "ash" in the ashtray are attached, so you can't spill any ash. I actually think it looks very good. I had various people do a double-take when seeing it for the first time.

### Pills

[![Lego Pills](media/images/lego-pills)](media/images/big/lego-pills)

The pills are just Lego 1x1 cylinders in a small baggy.

### Cocaine

[![Lego Cocaine](media/images/lego-cocaine)](media/images/big/lego-cocaine)

The "cocaine" is just a makeup mirror and some white Lego bricks.

### Bottle

[![Lego Bottle](media/images/lego-bottle)](media/images/big/lego-bottle)

The bottle is just the bottle from [21313-1: Ship in a Bottle](https://brickset.com/sets/21313-1/Ship-in-a-Bottle). [Vimja](https://vimja.website/) lent that to me.

### Raw shot

Of course it is image manipulated, but not actually that much. Here's the unedited version:
