I decided to start my Neo Fabuland build by building an homage to an original Fabuland set, the set I have chosen is 3660 from 1985, known as Fisherman's Cottage or Fisherman's Wharf. First of all let's take a look at the original set and the key features that I wanted to [...]
In last month's post, Contemplating Neo Fabuland, I set out my idea to apply the design conventions of Fabuland as a visual style in my build for Brickvention next year.

This time next week I will be loading the car and heading off to exhibit at Queenscliffe Bricks for my first time ever.

I am really looking forward to [...]
When setting out to design and build my Neo-Classic Space build A-83 Exploration Base I decided that I did not want to use the original Classic Space printed computer pieces. This might strike some Classic Space purists as sacrilege but don't get me wrong, I love those Classic Space computers! My reasoning is that [...]
