Okay, so today I have entered the 2011 Toys-N-Bricks Micro-Build Tournament! The challenge was to pick an official LEGO set from a pre-determined list, and build a micro-version with no more than 200 pieces. I choose the Taj Mahal because of its incredible beauty (both the real and the LEGO version) and because I knew that it is […] Read more

Here I show you my Space Marines. They are not related to the Halo or Warhammer video game characters, they are just generic cool guys performing missions in outer space. I’m not so much of a LEGO sci-fi builder (check out Nannan’s work for that!), but I wanted to build this highly customized army to […] Read more

Ancient cultures built ship models for the same reasons we build them today; they capture the imagination with their technological complexity, beauty, and what they represent; adventure, freedom and discovery.
