Lego projects in 2017
Throwback Thursday LEGO® Brick Cinderella
Back in 2015 we were tasked with creating a life-sized Disney Princess Cinderella from LEGO® bricks! We built Cindy ( as we called her in the workshop) for a Disney event where kids could come and have high tea with real-life Disney Princesses. Apart from her size, one of the toughest part of building her […]
Throwback Thursday LEGO® Brick Star Wars The Force Awakens figures
Back in 2015 we were given a super-secret project: to build life-sized LEGO® brick versions of characters from the then upcoming Star Wars The Force Awakens for the red carpet premiere in China! We built models of Rey, Kylo Ren and BB-8, with each presenting a whole heap of different challenges. All of the models […]
Throwback Thursday LEGO® Brick Rouse Hill Farm
For these week’s Throwback Thursday we’re going all the way back to … May this year! In what was one of our biggest collaborative projects, Sydney Living Museums commissioned us to build a 3.5 m x 1.5m replica of the historic Rouse Hill House and Farm in Sydney. It was so big in fact the […]
Throwback Thursday LEGO® Brick Auckland Skytower
Here’s a Throwback Thursday especially for a Kiwi friends! Back in 2013 Ryan was given his first commission for Auckland’s Toyco toy store- and given floorspace was at a premium he decided to build a vertical model, and what better than Auckland’s tallest building the Skytower? As with many of our builds it all started […]
Throwback Thursday LEGO® Brick Shell’s Prelude FLNG Facility
In this week’s Throwback we’re going back to one of our biggest and most complex models- a huge nearly 5m long Shell Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) Facility! We built the facility in separate sections for ease of transport and construction. This model was built back in the old workshop and was so big it […]
Brickman Experience returns to Melbourne
Our original interactive Brickman Experience exhibition is back home in Melbourne these school holidays at Harbour Town Melbourne for the final time in Australia! Before we take the show overseas we wanted to farewell Australia back in our home town of Melbourne, so we brought it back, with a few new models that weren’t built […]
Throwback Thursday LEGO® brick Pirate Ship
Yearrr! On this week’s Throwback we’re taking to the high seas with our huge LEGO® brick Pirate Ship! Ryan created this model back in 2014 for the Melbourne AFOL event Brickvention and has cut it in half so you can see all the crazy pirate action below decks! We tried to fill it with as many […]
Throwback Thursday LEGO® DUPLO train
This week we’re talking DUPLO! Earlier this year we built a super-sized DUPLO train from this year’s new sets so big you can sit in it. Or even ride in! We built the train based on the new 2017 DUPLO numbers train set and it was used to showcase the new DUPLO range at a […]
Throwback Thursday LEGO® Movie logo
For this week we’re throwing back to the ENORMOUS 200kg logo we made for The LEGO Movie! Building the logo on the angle it is on was especially challenging as well working out how to super-size the LEGO® brick parts the sign is made from. Given the specific 15 degree angle (on 2 axis no […]
Throwback Thursday: LEGO® Brick Medici Venus
This week we’re going back to early last year for the fourth and most recent model we’ve created for the Nicholson Museum in Sydney- a lifesize LEGO brick version of the iconic Medici Venus statue! The statue’s design has been reproduced by many different artists and sculptures over the centuries, but the Nicholson Museum chose […]
Throwback Thursday: LEGO® Brick Jetstar 787
Throwback Thursday is back! This week we’re going back to Ryan’s LEGO® brick Jetstar 787 from 2014. As much as Ryan loves building planes, there was a very specific reason he chose to do his Jetstar 787 the way he did; Jetstar actually lost his luggage full of LEGO on a flight to Rockhampton so […]
Pieces for Peace Melbourne Bollart
In January 2017 Melbourne was victim to an unthinkable tragedy involving a car mounting the footpaths of Bourke Street and many innocent lives lost. That event coupled with recent attacks in London have lead to the temporary installation of depressing anti-terror concrete bollards on footpaths across the city. In true Melbourne spirit, artists from all […]
