I have been waiting for quite a few years to announce this project, and the time is finally right! This year I am going to be working together with a group of very talented builders from my local LUG (Bendigo LEGO User Group) on a pirates-themed group build. This group build has been something [...]
A couple of days ago I found out that Ben Cossy has reviewed another one of my builds, this time it is my Gyldenspir Castle build from Brickvention 2024. Thanks once again Ben for your kind words, I really appreciate you taking the time to take such an in depth look at my build! If [...]

The time has come to chose a name for my yellow castle build, though I have been thinking about what to name it for quite some time. When I embarked on this castle build I decided that I wanted it to be more like a 1650 era palace than a defensive fortification, or at [...]
Over last weekend I exhibited at Bricks on the Border 2023 in Albury, New South Wales and here are my high five builds from the show in no particular order. The Quest for Shangri-La by Owen O'Brien This build is the handiwork of a fellow member of [...]
