Modelling a model of a Garden railway - model.

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!

A short trip to America!

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!

Merry Christmas!

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!

Hello Polly!

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!

Newsletter - October 2022

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.

Sweetgreen Commission

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!

Goal! Adding to the Brick Built exhibition in Wrexham

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?

Newsletter — April 2022

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.

Coming this summer… the history of Exeter in bricks

Whilst our touring exhibitions continue to travel around the world, sometimes we’re asked to do something a little more special. This one has been in the works since 2019!

Delayed from 2020 due to a certain virus that you might have heard of, Brick by Brick has been developed especially for the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter. Within the exhibition, you’ll be able to chart the history of Exeter through nine special commissions. Here’s a sneak peak!

Brick City opens in Guernsey

Last week Teresa and I took another ferry trip, this time to the Channel Island of Guernsey, to install Brick City.

This is our first foray into the Channel Islands and there were a couple of other firsts too:

Our St Pancras model has been spruced up and is now sporting all-new barriers and interpretation.

Guernsey also marks the first time that Brick City has been accompanied by the Digital Companion. You can access details on all of our models by scanning the QR code, or tapping your device against it. I’ve even recorded audio guides for all the models and some cheesy voice-overs.

Making a client’s wish come to life! (behind the scenes)

If you tried to get in touch with the team over the last quarter of 2021, you might have had a tough time as we were all a little busy….

Over the course of a few months we delivered one of our most complicated builds for some time. It would be large, detailed and for a client a very long way away. In fact, we’d never meet or even talk to the client. This is the story of how it all came about.
