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 […]

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 […]

Down here at the Brickman workshop we are running like an express train because we’re gearing up toward a massive new touring show!
