Another Airbus Update

E-mail Print PDF
Airbus A380 Follow up,

Well The airbus it seems has literally “taken off” i have been very lucky to have been blogged by about a dozen different sources, including by Tim at The brothers brick: www.brothers-brick.com  which is my favourite Lego blog site, and one which i check and read every day.

 I have a few mini airbus sets still for sale i am taking them with me to Brickworld in Chicago in June, there is not many left so grab them while you can.

 I have also started work on my next couple of Projects, a travel company has asked me to do a large mosaic for them, which needs to be done by mid march, and I am also working on two new custom sets, a combination retro lego 80’s product with a new concept and a modular building in keeping with LEGO(tm)’s theme, which I hope will gain some publicity.

 I have also been thinking about applying to join the LEGO(tm) certified professional program, given the volume of corporate work i am doing, but i have no idea where to start and if they would be even interested, I am guessing most probably not, but there is no harm in asking and as there is nobody from Australia in the program, I think its about time they got their act together.

 Oh, also i have ordered another 100 of the brickman custom minifigs from Denmark, these little people sold out in about 45 minutes at brickvention, so as soon as i get them in stock and put together, you can grab them.
