With the impact of COVID-19 and the subsequent cancellation of the majority of LEGO fan events and exhibitions (the primary outlet of my building) I began to look for other reasons to build, and I settled on a plan to 'have a go at LEGO Ideas'. I had a build that a few [...]
I have posted some sneak peeks of my current build on my Instagram as well as in the Ice Planet 2002 group on Facebook, but I have decided to also post regular updates here. I am currently in the process of building an Ice Planet 2002 themed display which I aim to show at [...]
If you have seen my recent builds, A-83 Exploration Base, Edward's Island and The Fortress of Falkenholt, you will have seen that they share something in common, brick-built terrain and rock work. I love building terrain, and in my current Ice Planet Badlands build I am employing similar techniques to build an icy white [...]
I have started posting a few images of the minifig inhabitants of my Ice Planet Badlands build, and I wanted to post about the choices I have made in their design and where they come from. The basis for my Ice Planet Badlands minifigs of course is the original Ice Planet 2002 [...]

Over the last few years people have at various times asked me for instructions for the round Neo Fabuland trees on Edward's Island, the tree beside Downtown Records and most recently, the oak trees in The Fortress of Falkenholt, and well, you are in luck, because they all use the exact same technique for [...]
A few people have asked me about the technique used to build the pine trees in my castle build, so I have put together some instructions. I also thought it may come in handy with Christmas on the horizon. As with any of my instructions, please let me know if these are useful to [...]
I have been mulling over the idea of what to name my castle build for a while and today I have finally made up my mind. I wanted to give it a name that referred to the two main elements of the build, the castle and the forest and if I could, the two factions [...]
