Sigfig Habitats #10

Monday, 23rd November 2020 By Caz

This quartet of Sigfig Habitats shows off Robin Hood Bricks, King Louie, Shannon and Bricks McGee.

The first habitat is for one of my favourite YouTubers, Robin Hood Bricks. I’ve enjoyed watching his city, Brick Nottingham, and channel grown massively from small begnnings. He loves pug dogs, and his SigFig is the CMF Series 1 Forestman, who is tempting his dog with a steak in front of a little section of Brick Nottingham Castle.

Twitter friend Jonas, aka King Louise Bricks lives in Belgium and works as a Medical Laboratory Technician in research when he is not developing his custom LEGO City, Louietown. I decided to picture him in his lab doing some science!

Another Twitter friend is Shannon, who loves to keep fit at the gym, look after his cats, and build LEGO in what little spare time he has left. One of his cat brood is watching him do some bicep curls after a quick session on the treadmill.

Richard, aka The Bricks McGee is the final member of this AFOL quartet. He is chairman of Brick Alley LUG in the North East of England, is mad on trains but not on spaceships, helps organise several LEGO shows around the area and has a very daft black lurcher called Diesel who is always getting into various scrapes. While Santa’s Little Helper is the wrong colour, I felt he perfectly embodies Diesel’s persona, seen here trying to scam a saussie from Dogdad in his LEGO room.

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.
