In today's article, we’ll be speaking with a perfectionist MOC builder who has drawn inspiration for his builds from many different outlets, including the Harry Potter books and LEGO sets. How do you reconcile the Castle and Harry Potter themes? We chatted with Guillaume aka gui.lego to learn more. Meet Guillaume Sam: Hi Guillaume! Can you introduce yourself for Bricknerd readers and tell us about your history with LEGO bricks? Guillaume: Hi everyone. My name is Guillaume, and I come from Dijon in France. I'm 37 years old, so I was born in the 80s and 90s. I was born with LEGO, and had the desire to build terrains and landscapes from scratch dreaming in front of old posters and catalogues from...
