Mother of God, it looks amazing. Day One.

Over the long weekend Jen and I built the Palace Cinema, Lego’s modular building for 2013 in its Creator series.  Clocking in at 2196 pieces, its actually a tad smaller than some of its counterparts like the Grand Emporium.  Clearly influenced in design by Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, I thought the set was aesthetically quite pleasing and a lot ...

Series 10 of the Lego Minifigs have finally begun to arrive on our shores!  This weekend, Jen and I picked up a handful of packs.  As usual, I sat unhelpfully on the sidelines whilst Jen felt the bags and identified the minifig inside.  She hit a 100% accuracy rate on 14 bags.  That’s right.  We didn’t get a single duplicate. ...

It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to build something from the Lego Architecture series.  I’ve always liked the look of Mies Van Der Rohe’s Farnsworth House but stock of it is hard to come by in Australia.  Fortunately, I cam across it during Myer’s 20% off sale and I also had a voucher from work which meant ...
