This build is Watchtower Island, my homage to the beloved LEGO Pirates Theme.

This build was part of a collaborative pirates build called Blackskull Archipelago completed with a group of builders from my local LUG (Bendigo LEGO User Group) which we will be displaying at events throughout 2025.

Built: 2024
Theme: Pirates
Exhibited: Brickvention 2025, Bendigo Bricks 2025, Locky Blocks 2025, Brixpo 2025, Albury Brick Muster 2025

This build is now retired.

This build is Gyldenspir Castle, inspired by 375 Castle but reimagined as a renaissance era palace using the range of pieces and building techniques now available.

You can read about my aims for this project in the blog post I wrote when I started (though ignore the bit about curves, as I changed my mind about that ;)).
