Part 4 of our American Airlines commissions - this time it’s the Airport lounge. With a good number of LEGO (and non-LEGO features!

This time we’re taking a look at the objects that are familiar to everyone working within an airline. Those little things that staff interact with every day.

For those not in the know, every August Edinburgh transforms into a different city. The Edinburgh Festivals transform our city into the largest arts festival in the world - by some margin. There isn’t one festival but currently 4 happening concurrently. The Edinburgh International Festival, The Edinburgh Fringe festival, The Edinburgh International Book Festival, The Royal Edinburgh M

As promised, it’s time to look at the next set of models we created for American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum.

If you’re an AV-geek (aviation geek) then the first thing that comes to mind when discussing an airline are the planes. If you’re a off on your holidays though, then the first thing to come to mind is much more likely to be the destination! So, what could be better to build than the cities that American Airlines can fly you to?

OK, Apologies! It’s been a little quiet around here recently the studio has been rather busy with one rather large project!

This week, American Airlines (our client) has launched the exhibition that we’ve been working together on for the last 6 months….

Most of work is built for either a specific customer - or one of our exhibition tours. Teresa and I still build models just for ourselves though - no rules, no schedule and no planned destination. This is one that I’ve been thinking about for a couple of years though, and it’s finally finished!

Actually, a very short trip for Brick America - only down to the South West of England!

Earlier this year, we opened a custom exhibition for the American Museum. Located just outside of Bath, it celebrates Americana and opened to the public way back in 1961. To create a summer blockbuster exhibition for 2023, we were asked to re-imagine some American landmarks in bricks!

We build a 3 meter tall Saturn V for the National Museum of Flight

Can we build a hospital that can be completely flat packed and transported to multiple events? Of course we can!

Paxton House, in Berwickshire invited us to help celebrate Easter with a BIG Build of a suitably seasonally accessorised Easter Bunny!

and a happy holiday to you, whatever you celebrate at this time of year!

We’re closing down now, at the end of a very hectic year. So we’ll see you in 2023 and leave you with this picture. A few years back we were asked by LEGO (UK) to provide a Christmas tree for the Dream Toys event in London. Look who we bumped into!

One of the fun things about touring our exhibitions is that every so often we can update them. Sometime we’ll build a new version of an existing model - sometimes it’s a completely new model. So, let me introduce you to ‘Polly’ the Polacanthus!

The summer has gone by in a flash this year, here we are in October planning our next tours out, some very exciting commissions and our tours into 2023 and 2024. We have certainly travelled a few miles over the summer, vans, trains, planes and ferries have helped us with our brilliant summer locations. We have had a blast and managed to squeeze in one of our favourite fan events too.

We don’t always build big things! I loved making this model. It was a surprise gift to one of the Sweetgreen Founders from his brother. A replica of their first location, on the corner of M and Bank in Washington DC, and standing outside, minifigure versions of the three Founders all smiles!

They say ‘better late than never’ and in this case, it’s been two years! This summer, ‘Brick by Brick’ opens in Exeter - an exhibition literally years in the making!

We often say that we can build anything and everything. That even extends to things that we’ve never seen!

It has been over 3 years, but this week we finally did our first event since the pandemic! Over the last couple of days, we’ve been working with visitors to the Wrexham Museum to add a final element to their already popular exhibition. The space in the gallery was limited - so what better way to add more colour than a mosaic?

As we head into spring we have had an exciting few weeks getting our tours ready for Easter. Already a fantastic trip taking Brick City from Edinburgh to Guernsey and another tour already open in Chichester. It's been a great few months, really good to be back out seeing fans and the community at Bricktastic in February, we forget how much we have missed the interaction and seeing everyone face to face. This year is set to be epic, with plans for our tours and commissions, we look forward to keeping you up to date with our news and developments.
