Although several years old now, this is one of my favourite shots of the completed base at Bricktastic in aid of Fairy Bricks.
Hi guys, today I’ve got a build I made for the Bricktastic event back in February. This build was inspired by the houses I saw in Asos Kefalonia whilst on a trip in 2022. I decided to recreate the visual style and architecture in Lego form. I really enjoyed having a crack at a non-Star Wars build and this theme is definitely something I want to explore more going into the future. Let me know what you think!
Added a packet of choc-chip biscuits to my ‘Milk & Cookies’ MOC, especially for Skaerbaek 2025.
13 is my lucky number, and this recyclable paper bag was from ‘Tudor Corner’ (10350), a 50th birthday present from my mum and brother.
Thank you again for all the love shown to both my models at Skaerbaek Fan Weekend (SFW); I honestly had the best time speaking to friends, new and old.
P.S. My next show is Bricktastic in February 2026. I’ll have more Fabuland postcards to gift if you weren’t able to make SFW this year.

Here's a new Star Wars starfighter I've been working on for the Teal Squadron collab! It'll be at Bricktastic in Manchester, UK this weekend so if take a look if you're there!
I started by pulling ideas from WWII bombers that inspired some of the original Star Wars designs. Eventually, the design evolved into something close to a Naboo ship, so I leaned into it as a Rebel-repurposed Theed ship with a smooth exterior and missing panels for easier maintenance. Built in collaboration with Chris Perron and Wes Talbot. Check out their sweet ships if you haven't already!
Who doesn’t love a midnight snack? I built a new Fabuland MOC especially for Edinbrick this weekend, it’s an accompaniment to ‘Cheesy Rider’ from Bricktastic in February.

I've started this MOC over two years ago, and had made substantial progress towards this current version all the way back in Jan 2021, when it was about 75% done. Then life got in the way, and I had to prioritise other things, namely finishing my PhD, moving house, getting married, and a whole lot more. Since January I've been slowly reclaiming back some time for my #LEGO #hobby and I've been really enjoying it as of late. I plan to bring you guys a whole lot more in the coming weeks and months.
For now, enjoy this MOC and please let me know what you think! I'll also take this moment to thank my MasterPiece friends for their constant encouragement and support throughout this journey, without whom I'm not sure this would have turned out nearly as good.

A fantasy collab MOC by Inthert and Waffles built as an homage to the bygone LEGO Elves theme.
While both of needed a break from building spaceships, we decided to go for something colourful and out of the ordinary. Isabelouise helped us with the concept and colour scheme, and suggested the idea of using the recent CMF Acorn Boys and Night Protectors as “fantasy elves” instead of minidolls.
As this idea had the potential to wow audiences of all ages and interests, we displayed this collab at Bricktastic Manchester and Reading Brick Show, where it won the hearts of many. The finished build is two halves - the Acorn Tree by Inthert and the cliff outpost by Waffles
Both are inspired by local coastlines and tropical seabeds, as well as fantastical elements.
Special thanks to Catherine for providing minidoll pieces, and Tim for the dragon and other animals.

Here is a build I made for Bricktastic 2023 earlier this year on the planet Byblos for the Star Wars Faction RPG
Here's a scene from England 793, showing the island I built for my section of the model. It is inspired on Lindisfarne.
England 793 is a Lego model of Anglo-Saxon England in the year the Vikings are first recorded to have landed on its shores. It is roughly seventeen square metres in size and was built on 115 48x48 stud Lego baseplates.
England 793 is a Brick to the Past creation built by James Pegrum, Jimmy Clinch, Simon Pickard, Steve Snasdell, Dan Harris and Tim Goddard. It has been seen at Bricktastic, Rheged and for the first time in full at the Great Western Brick Show in October 2016. You can view more photos in our Flickr Group.

Here's a teaser for this year's Brick to the Past model, which will first be displayed next weekend at Bricktastic.
This year we're exploring the rich history of Anglo-Saxon England. Of course, where there are Anglo-Saxons, there are going to be Vikings too. And where there are Vikings, there are boats... lots of them!
Following Bricktastic the model will be on display over the summer at the Rheged Centre in Penrith. Finally, we will be taking it to Swindon's Great Western Brick Show in October.
Stay tuned for further teasers and follow our progress on:

Y-Advanced Starfighter, one of my latest builds for the Teal Squadron Star Wars display, which will be coming to the Bricktastic show in Manchester on 22-23 February 2025.
The design was influenced by some of Ralph McQuarrie’s concept art for the original Y-Wing as well as some of his other designs. I was fairly certain I had seen one Y-Wing design featuring radar dishes on the front of the engine domes, but my friends assured me that I imagined this and I've not been able to find such an image since. So I guess I just like adding radar dishes to things.

Commissioned by Fairy Bricks for the LEGO Masters-esque live-building competition at this past weekend’s Bricktastic event in Manchester, which was won by Steve Guinness and Gary Davis.
The 2x2 brick is in scale to LEGO’s own large brick builds, as is the rest of the minifigure. The torso and the arms in particular were a challenge to build, especially with the minifigures weird angles and proportions. The plinth/pedestal includes tiles for decorations showcasing contest and winners, and is adorned by statues of skrunkly characters.
Here's another teaser for this year's Brick to the Past model, which will first be displayed next weekend at Bricktastic.
This year we're exploring the rich history of Anglo-Saxon England. Of course, where there are Anglo-Saxons, there are going to be Vikings too. Please note, these Vikings have no silly horned helmets because real Vikings didn't wear silly horned helmets; they liked to feel the wind in their hair.
Following Bricktastic the model will be on display over the summer at the Rheged Centre in Penrith. Finally, we will be taking it to Swindon's Great Western Brick Show in October.

Not the greatest photo, but it's just for reference for what I'll be bringing to Bricktastic in 2026.
The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain’s Throne is a LEGO model of a series of uprisings, rebellions and wars that occurred predominantly in Scotland, but also spread into Ireland and England, between 1689 and 1746. Following the deposition of James II of England and VII of Scotland in the Glorious Revolution, the aims of the risings were to return the Stuart monarch, and later his descendants, to the thrones of England and Scotland (and after 1707, the Kingdom of Great Britain). They take their name from Jacobus, the Latin form of James.
While conflict broke out in 1689, 1715, and 1719, the most famous rising is probably the last, that of 1745. During the “Forty-five" Charles Edward Stuart, also known as the Young Pretender or Bonnie Prince Charlie, led an army from the Scottish Highlands as far south as Derby before retreating north to be decisively defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Culloden was the last pitched battle to be fought on British soil and marked the end of any serious attempt to restore the house of Stuart to the throne.
The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain’s Throne is a Brick to the Past creation built by Dan Harris, James Pegrum, Simon Pickard, Tim Goddard and Steve Snasdell. It was unveiled for the first time at the Bricktastic in July 2017 and went on display again at The Great Western Brick Show in October. It is now on display at Stirling Castle until February 2nd 2018.

I spent last weekend with Tim Johnson from New Elementary at Bricktastic in Manchester. I couldn't resist building my own Bigger and more colourful NexoBALL....after playing with his ball made from Nexogons (Part 27255) all weekend. It's like a LEGO stress ball!
Built for Bricktastic in Manchester last weekend. It's a show with lots of children, all for the UK charity Fairy Bricks. I was part of New Elementary's display basically showing off some lovely LEGO COLOURS.

Here's another teaser for this year's Brick to the Past model, which will first be displayed next weekend at Bricktastic.
This year we're exploring the rich history of Anglo-Saxon England. Of course, where there are Anglo-Saxons, there are going to be Vikings too. Now we appreciate that there is some debate over the existence of Shield Maidens, but our Vikings are equal opportunities Vikings, and believe that raiding and pillaging should be enjoyed by all.
Following Bricktastic the model will be on display over the summer at the Rheged Centre in Penrith. Finally, we will be taking it to Swindon's Great Western Brick Show in October.

If you aren't following the fabulous Bricktastic blog, you should.
And today the focus on your favourite builder, me!
Yes, that's right, an awesome interview with yours truly, and a look behind the scenes of both my work, and what drives me as a a creator.
Which is something I always love, so don't forget to check out the rest of the builder spotlight series there. Just make sure you have plenty of spare time and warm cocoa by your side.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/44736926@N04/] Henry Morgan: Welsh Raider of the Spanish Main is a LEGO model about the infamous buccaneers raid on Lake Maracaibo in 1669.
Henry Morgan was born in around 1635 in Llanrhymny, which is now part of Cardiff. How ended up in Jamaica twenty years later is uncertain, but when he was there he forged a career as the most successful buccaneer the world had ever seen. In the pay of the English government, he raided the Spanish Main and disrupted their shipping, amassing enormous personal wealth in the process. At home, he was a hero, being knighted in 1674 and holding the office of Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica on several occasions. To the Spanish he was no more than a pirate, whose activity sat well outside of the rule of law. He died on August 25th 1688 having played a major role in setting the unfolding American geo-political scene.
The model is a Brick to the Past creation built by Dan Harris, James Pegrum, Simon Pickard, and Colin Parry. It was unveiled for the first time at the Bricktastic in July 2018 and went on display again at The Great Western Brick Show in October.

This is part of my contribution to this year's Brick to the Past model, The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain's Throne. To be fair this is a team effort with James Pegrum providing the landscape and me providing and setting up the armies. Simon Pickard also provided a load of troops.

So this year as part of BttP big build I decided to take on Ruthven barracks. However, one barrack building in I had to pull out from building due to normal life stuff. The Brilliant Dan Harris stepped up and in, took my one building and completed the entire barracks.
I think he completed it far better than I imagined or could.
