Ever since I put my Downtown Records build up on LEGO Ideas back in August 2020 I have been asked almost constantly if there were instructions available for it. Well, I am pleased to say that I have recently finished creating and uploading instructions for a new smaller version of Downtown Records, which you [...]
So building has been underway on my pirates-themed Blackskull Archipelago build for a few months now, and I really should be further along but to tell you the truth I have not been feeling as motivated to build of late. I am happy to say though that whilst I have been working ever so [...]
In my current pirate-themed build, Blackskull Archipelago, I am building a lot of water and also shorelines where the water meets sandy beaches. Because this is a collaborative build it is important that the sections that each person builds are able to match up with those around it, so the actual first step in [...]
I mentioned in my last post that I am currently working on a collaborative pirate-themed build, and it is time for some introductions. First of all let me say that we have decided on a name for the collaborative build and it will be called Blackskull Archipelago. The second thing that I wanted to [...]
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 [...]
A billion years ago (well six months in reality, but it seems like a very long time ago) I was one of two builders - the other builder being Marco Meini from Italy - approached by the LEGO Insiders team to build an unreleased (at the time anyway) set (10320 Eldorado Fortress) and do a [...]
This time I have made some instructions for the panelled walls that form a lot of the interior details in my Gyldenspir Castle build. The panels in this build are achieved by offsetting the middle of the walls with 1x2 jumper plates and using 1x1 modified bricks with a stud on the side to [...]
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 [...]
One of the goals that I set for myself in my current Yellow Castle inspired build was to build in a different time period than my previous castle build, The Fortress of Falkenholt, I have therefore chosen the year 1650 as a rough time period. The interiors of the Fortress of Falkenholt were mainly [...]
