I’m pleased to say that my Brickbuzz creative building workshops are finally back at Castelnau Community Centre in Barnes, West London. After the pandemic stopped them from happening for over a year, they are now running on Tuesday and Friday afternoons from 3:30pm to 5:00pm during the second half of the 2021 summer term.

The LL-28 is a ship built in the studless Neo-Classic space style. There are lots of details on this one, especially the underside, as well as a few extra features.

This large space base was built over five months by Jason Briscoe, Gary Davis, Tim Goddard, Andrew Hamilton, Rhys Knight, Peter Reid and me. Each side is over a metre long. The base was first displayed in July 2017 at Bricktastic in Manchester. It then travelled to Brick Live in London later in the summer and Jason drove it to the Skaerbaek fan weekend in September. It will be at the Great Western Brick Show in Swindon from 7-8th October.

On my return to building creations with Lego bricks, I focused on modern day scenes such as harbours with ships and container cranes. These were some of things I’d wanted to build when I was a kid but never got round to. However, my childhood passion was building spaceships and imaginary bases on distant planets. This is the story of my first proper foray back into outer space, completed just over a year ago in June 2015.

Here is a typeface inspired by the Police logo found in the original 1989 LEGO Space Police sets. The theme featured spacecraft and rovers in a blue and black livery with translucent red glass. Its logo was the word ‘Police’ in a futuristic stencil typeface with dark red oblong shapes above and below it, inside a thin white border, re-created here in the top-left corner.
