Hey folks! As you can see, some of my posts are missing images and links due to some host issues I experienced recently. I'm working through getting those corrected as quickly as I can. However, if you are looking at a page you'd like me to correct sooner rather than later, drop me a line with the title of the blog post and I will move it up in my list of fixes to make. Thanks for your help!

Happy Earth Day, my LEGO friends! If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to plant a tree or do something eco-friendly for Mother Earth. Don’t forget your LEGO builds as well and check out this video on how to build LEGO trees!

The video above is from Master Model Builder, David Howard, of the LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Chicago. It’s a time lapse video, so it won’t take but 2 minutes of your time. There aren’t explicit directions, but he gives you a full view of how he builds his trees for the LEGOLAND builds.
