As a delayed present from one of my sisters, I got the LEGO X-wing using the gift voucher she gave me for Christmas. It is a mighty set, doing all the kinds of things I tried to do in my own various interpretations of the craft, both when I was younger and even more [...]

LEGO Gay Deceiver
4 March, 2008 – 7:40am
In researching my next big LEGO project, I remembered the Serenity model I saw a while ago and so looked around a bit more on that website. In doing so, I came across a model very much like one I would build myself, a spaceship based on the Gay Deceiver from Robert Heinlein’s books.
New Year
18 January, 2008 – 10:39pm
Exams are over until May and I have a week to catch up before work proper starts again.
The cataloguing of all my old LEGO bricks has picked up steam due to me finding Peeron.com. 1928 pieces have been logged so far, or 392 different colour/type combinations. Still at least double that amount more [...]
LEGO Anniversary Present
11 November, 2007 – 7:15pm

It was rather an impromptu situation, as the friends I originally planned to move in with had [...]

Official-LEGO-instruction-manual-style rendering is now something I know how to do!
LEGO Space-Tramp
5 August, 2007 – 4:53pm
Over the last couple of weeks I have accumulated four shiny new LEGO sets; a huge castle, a tiny submarine, a tight jet plane and a very yellow car.
For a little while they existed in their original forms but then I felt that space-ship-building urge I seem to get every so often and so I [...]
K.A.T.S.

Today, Anita gave me some LEGO that she found in amongst her Playmobil during the easter holidays.
Tonight, after seeing the mighty Hot Fuzz again, we turned said LEGO into something magical:
Bricksmith
7 March, 2007 – 2:49am
Bricksmith is the most gonad-happying piece of software I have ever used.
It is everything LEGO’s own Digital Designer promises to be, before it crushes your hopes and dreams in its hideously-sluggish, limited-inventory, unintuitive-interface maw. In the few years I’ve had Digital Designer on my computer I have designed exactly zero models with it.
With Bricksmith, [...]
LEGO Mike’s Castle

Mike brought his LEGO up to Aberystwyth from Cardiff about a week ago and so we built a castle:
