What makes a house a home? Mostly the people living in it, I’d argue. But if the house is too small to actually fit people inside it, outstanding architecture – like that found in Geneva Durand’s microscale LEGO home – will suffice. I’m particularly drawn to the use of various flat bricks in dark orange, dark red, and two shades of brown to evoke the rougher brickwork at the front of the house. I’m a little concerned about those dogs though; I estimate they may be over 6 feet tall. They’re liable to eat you out of house and home!

Greed can be a divisive topic: what one person sees as greedy can be viewed as merely desire or the pursuit of success by another. In this model, TBB regular Andreas Lenander employs artistic expression, using the ubiquitous light bluish gray LEGO to depict a hand drained of its life essence. Contrasted with red and maroon bricks, it shows the negative result that can arise from gripping the pursuit of wealth too tightly. The builder skillfully incorporates sought-after LEGO parts to emphasize the object of greed: the pearl gold ingot and chrome gold ring, which most LEGO enthusiasts recognize as “The One Ring” from the Lord of the Rings theme. With all that gold, is this perhaps a retort to a treasure chest we covered recently? And we’ve got plenty more of Andreas Lenander’s LEGO creations in our archives.

Bricktastic is the biggest and best LEGO event on the UK calendar. Run by the simply indomitable Fairy Bricks team and held in the amazing Manchester Central venue, it brings together the best our community has to offer—and I wouldn’t miss it for the world. So when your friend, Kevin, says “Would you like to do a set mod of a UCS AT-AT (75313) to go into a display at next year’s Bricktastic?” naturally, you say “Yes!” Well actually your imposter syndrome makes you say, “Are you sure you want me on that? But, sure, I can make it into a Walled Garden if that would suit your plans?” And so it begins. A Walking Walled Garden Walled Gardens are my ‘spaceships.’ There are builders to whom everything looks like a spaceship, to others a castle, and to others still a Ferarri. For me, everything looks like a garden; either a...
