The second theme of mine and Bartu’s Amazon collaboration is ‘The Rainforest’ 🙂 This was a fun build as I love to build trees and vegetation. I knew I wanted at least one very big tree, surrounded by some thinner and possibly shorter ones. This lead me to try out something I’ve not really tried,…
Over the past month I’ve been working on a collaboration, together with talented violinist, Bartu Elci-Ozsoy, portraying the Amazon rain-forest, in Lego and in music. Bartu would compose and record music in the spirit of the theme, while I would try to depict it in Lego. The project has been divided in 4 themes, each…

However, when it…

The contest had two themes: minifigures and nature. Seeing as I love building nature, this contest felt like a pretty good fit and…
The theme for Swebrick’s Masterbuilder competition was ‘Park & Nature’ this time around, and as that is what I love to build the most, it was pretty natural for me to join 🙂 At first I had quite a few ideas of different kinds of undulating landscapes, but as some of the rules were clarified…
