Let’s take to the skies
Awesome Bricks is back at the National Museum of Flight!
When we were deciding what our BIG Build should be for 2018, how about a world famous stunt display team?
Anyone for tennis?
Game, set, match! The Nottingham Tennis Open asked us to build them a HUGE tennis ball. Really huge.
Mix and Match
If you attend any trade events or large shows, you may be familiar with ‘swag!’ For those not in the know, these are freebies given out by many stands as gifts which are specifically designed to remind you of a company and their activities - so when you need something specific that company is the one you’ll think of.
Full Steam Ahead!
Kicking off our 2018 BIG Build summer season, Kirsten and Alastair were at the Midland Railway Museum. We were tasked to re-create one of their locos in LEGO to start 'Butterley Brick Week'.
Dream Jobs!
What was your dream job as a child? There's no prizes for guessing what Warrens' was!
As part of a new BBC radio series, cunning called Dream Jobs, Warren gave an interview about how exactly it works - and what skills you might need in order to get such a job (hint: build a lot of LEGO!)
Did someone say 'Custom Models'? Now you can get your very own Edinburgh Castle in LEGO!
Released today is our limited edition model of Edinburgh Castle - made entirely from LEGO bricks. More details here. It's been a long time coming, this model and I'll be honest - it wasn't an easy thing to design!
Coventry Cathedral - 'Massive mini Churches project'
The other week saw the delivery of a bespoke LEGO model which will become a focal point of Coventry Cathedral centenary celebrations.
The snow must go on!
We've just installed Brick Dinos into Kirkleatham Museum, Redcar despite the Beast from the East dropping lots of snow on us. It hasn't stopped us yet, but it has meant we've had to stay put in our hotel in Guisborough for a little longer than planned.
(A slightly belated) welcome to our newest team member!
OK, it's entirely possible that you might have already met our latest employee, Dr Kirsten Bedigan, before. In fact, she was the first person to start working with Warren back in 2013!
Brick Wonders, City and History are on tour around Scotland in 2018!
You might have noticed that the team were up in Inverness just before Christmas and we've just finished working in Aberdour Castle in Fife. Well - there's more to come in Scotland this year in conjunction with Historic Environment Scotland.
Brick Wonders hits 80,000 visitors in Norwich!
We always try to keep a note of how many visitors attend each of our exhibitions. It's handy to know and, of course, it's nice to know that the show is being appreciated! It seems Brick Wonders has been a little busier than normal though...
Seasons Greetings..
Seasons Greetings !
As we come towards the holidays and the end of another year, the team at Warren Elsmore wish you all a very happy Christmas and peaceful and prosperous New Year . Lets hope Santa remembers us all and leaves more bricks under the tree, as we are already working hard on some great new models for 2018! The diary is already looking very busy for the New Year and we look forward to catching up with you all soon.
Best wishes
Warren & the Team
Celebrating Scottish tourism
VisitScotland is celebrating "spectacular" growth in visitors to Scotland's museums and attractions, and we're delighted that they've chosen our Brick City exhibition on its New Lanark visit to headline this article in The Scotsman. We think that deserves a celebration!
Feeling Hungry (for some LEGO fun?)
The people of Westhill in Aberdeenshire certainly were the other week! We were asked to do something special to celebrate Book Week with a theme of 'nourishment'. So what better than to make a mosaic of the very hungry Caterpillar?
Brick History is ready to open at Preston Park!
It's one of those times when it seems that all the exhibitions are on the move! Last week Guy and Alastair were in Norwich and today we've just finished putting the final touches to our Brick History Exhibition here at Preston Park Museum and Grounds, which opens on Thursday!
