"On October 8th this year, I was involved in Bricktober, which was held at Curtin University. I belong to a Lego club that meets every month and, together with my mentor Graham, we created a castle that took us three months to build. I didn’t have instructions but used my own ideas and it evolved as I built it.
I probably used about five thousand Lego pieces to build the castle. The idea came from the Lego medieval castle creator (31120) set from 2021.
​
At Bricktober, lots of people came to look at my creation and I had to explain to them how I went about building it. I also entered a competition where I had to build a Lego set in 20 minutes. It was a race to finish and I came first, although it was really tricky putting the windows in.
​
I would encourage anyone who is interested in Lego to go along next year to see all the wonderful creations. You can also buy Lego there and I save up my money each year to spend there!"
