My latest Habitats video tells the story of my amazing visit to the LEGO House in September 2019, to install some of my Micropolis MOCs in the Masterpiece Gallery. I met some wonderful people during my week in Denmark, including Jesper Vilstrup, Thomas Kirk Christiansen, Jan Beyer, Stuary Harris, Birte Knudsen and Mike Ganderton from LEGO. I was also interviewed by Joshua and John Hanlon of Beyond The Brick, a very popular LEGO YouTube channel, about my models in the House.

Well, challenge accepted, my friend!

Elementary Place – Micropolis Block #164
The structure of this build was heavily influenced by a Micropolis block built with several Nexogons by Little Brick Root, for a New Elementary parts festival back in 2017. When I saw photos of it, I knew I wanted to attempt something similar myself. Fast forwards 2 years and I have Nextogons of my own begging to be used, and Elementary Place is what evolved.
