So hold your breath as we take a deep dive into this awesome creation. Andreas: Thanks for chatting with BrickNerd. Could you introduce yourselves a bit? Martina & Andreas: We are Martina and Andreas Hed, and we live in a small town called Köping in Sweden. We actually didn’t have any interest in LEGO when we first met in 2006. We are both musicians and have played in the same band, so we can say that music actually brought us together. When our band split up, we...
