Today a few people let me know that my Dragonkeep Postcard that I built for last month’s Bendigo LEGO® User Group monthly build competition has been featured on The Brothers Brick.

Thank you to The Brothers Brick team and especially Daniel for featuring my build, I particularly liked how he specifically mentioned the snout made from the red binoculars piece as I was not sure whether I was going to include it!

You can read what was said here.

The current LEGO Ideas’ contest is called 50 years of Dungeons & Dragons! where they are asking members to design builds inspired by Dungeons & Dragons with between 100 and 3,000 pieces which could potentially be turned into a LEGO set. I thought I would give it a go!

In my build, which I have named Domain of the Dracolich, I wanted to create a recognisable scene from a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, an ambush about to take place between skeleton warriors and the ultimate undead foe, a dracolich. Will our valiant heroes survive?

My build includes 1,099 parts and is primarily a display piece with the idea being that the builder could put their own characters and party into the scene. The dracolich itself is fully articulated and posable.

The six minifigures include a mage in the middle of spellcasting, a dwarven warrior with a battleaxe, a half-elf ranger with her trusty crossbow and three attacking skeleton warriors kitted out with shields, swords and a mace.
