Argyle Heights – Micropolis Block #201

Friday, 20th November 2020 By Caz

Having recently shown you my big Micropolis layout, we are now back to highlighting individual models.

This one is called Argyle Heights, thanks to the diagnoal pattern which is reminiscent of Argyle jumpers and socks! It houses some prime office real estate in the heart of Downtown.

Guest Appearance on Live Build: LEGO Avengers Tower with GJBricks

Sunday, 15th November 2020 By Caz

I joined fellow BrickTuber Greg from GJBricks on his livestream while he built the new Avengers Tower today. I joined the stream around 30’00” to build some BrickHeadz. It was great to hang out and chat about LEGO, thanks for having me, Greg.

Minifig Themed Habitats #14 – Buzz, Alien & Woody

Friday, 13th November 2020 By Caz

Today’s trio of Minifigure Habitats are all related to Toy Story, featuring Buzz Lightyear, the green Alien and Woody in Andy’s Bedroom.

I’ve had the figures for ages, and they lend themselves very well to habitats.

Micropolis Flyover 2020 – Blocks #101-212 Plus Extras

Saturday, 7th November 2020 By Caz

7th November 2020 is exactly three years since I build my first Micropolis model. A lot has changed since then!

Over the course of the last 100-or so Micropolis videos, many folks have asked to see them all together.

I usually manage to film something like that when I take my models to Shows, but since I have only done one public show this year, and that was with Great Ball Contraption, I thought it was about time to do another Micropolis flyover video at home.

So this is a layout with models 101-200 plus a few extras to complete the square. It represents about half of my Micropolis models – I don’t have room to lay them all out at once!

I hope you enjoy the view!

Jade Court Hotel – Micropolis Block #200

Wednesday, 4th November 2020 By Caz

Jade Court Hotel is the 200th Micropolis model that I have built. It is a luxury hotel which sits on the best plot along the promenade of Micropolis Bay, overlooking Holy Island.

The architecture is quite striking, with the stepped square sitting on just two pillars, leaving the structure straddling the road. The private beachfront can be reached from one of the pillars with plenty of umbrellas to keep the visitors shaded.

If patrons aren’t keen on the beach, a nicely landscaped garden gives them somewhere to relax.

Here is a sneak peek showing the hotel in situ in the Bay, with all the other luxury property surrounding it.

In my next video, I will give you a better look at much more of Micropolis, with the last 100 models laid out for you to see, so check back soon for that one.

My Great Ball Contraption Full Circuit of 16 GBC Modules

Monday, 2nd November 2020 By Caz

It’s been almost a year since I showed you the full layout of my Great Ball Contraption. I had most of them out over the weekend for the Virtual BrickWorld Halloween show, my first BrickWorld event. So I thought I would film it before they all went back in their boxes. I now have 16 different modules, up from the dozen I showed in the last full circuit tour.

If you would like to see individual videos for each module, here is a list of them:

  • Big Bird (2) & Pinball
  • Rainbow Lift & ZigZag
  • Buckets Of Fun MkIII
  • Rainbow Tipper
  • Rainbow Whirligig
  • Rainbow Sawtooth
  • Rainbow Solaire
  • Rainbow Double Step
  • Rainbow Serpentine
  • Rainbow Slalom
  • Rainbow Rover
