As i build up my LEGO Winter Village for 2024, I found this old, still sealed, Christmas polybag from 1995 with what is probably one of the first minifig santas. He uses a pirate bandana as a hat and wizards beard as santa beard! Fun little build.

I made the Miami Vice and the Ice Cream Heist moc back in Feb and took it apart when I made the Paradisa Modular moc. And while I am really proud of the modular moc, it felt heavy and blocky compared to the other Paradisa sets, which are more airy. Plus I missed the storytelling […]
After enjoying my Paradisa modular moc for a while, I felt like going back to a more true-to-Paradisa display. So I took apart the moc and used the opportunity to build and film all my Paradisa sets together. 6401 Seaside Cabana 6402 Sidewalk Cafe (my first set) 6403 Paradisa Playground ( some bits missing) 6405 […]

My wife is a LEGO Modular collector and it gave me the idea to transform my second 6416 Poolside Paradise set into a modular using bits from two 6402 Sidewalk Cafe sets, the 6405 Sunset Stables set and the 6409 Island Arcade set. I initially started out designing a full modular in the Studio app, […]

LEGO: A visit to LEGO Idea House
Back in 2018 I took a course in “LEGO® Serious Play®“, which is a structured workshop methodology to tackle complex problems. Below LEGO® Serious Play® in action. The training took place in Billund, hometown on LEGO, and more specifically at the invite-only “LEGO Idea House“. This was before my AFOL hobby took off in 2023, […]
Finding the LEGO Paradisa theme has filled me with 90s and 80s nostalgia and I added Baywatch earlier to my growing Paradisa scene. Now I have added Crockett and Tubbs from Mimi Vice riding their icon white Ferrari Testarossa, which I found the instructions for on youtube . I’ve added them to my Paradisa scene […]

Just a fun little addition to my LEGO Paradisa landscape. Mitch and C.J. from Bay Brickwatch. 🎵I’ll be there…🎵
As I am building up my LEGO Paradisa display, I ended up with two 6402 Sidewalk Cafes and it gave me the idea to make it the starting point of a story by merging the two into one, removing one of the (exclusive to this set) printed ice cream tiles, and adding a thief (a […]
I recently learned about the Lego Paradisa range looking for a cafe for my Lego Classic Town. Really like how different this looks and while I understand this was targeting girls, I can’t help but get a Miami Vice nostalgic feeling about it hence the white sports car (I need to find a minifigure for […]
I really like set 675 Snack Bar. It’s a nice modest classic town set with so much storytelling potential. I modified it for my 2023 winter moc by adding additional floors. And when I recreated the set post-christmas, I decided to modify it a little bit but adding a small rooftop terrace.
