A humble scene delivers an epic sense of time and place

When it comes to an eye for detail there are few LEGO builders that measure up to Gerrit Gottschalk, who seems to consistently and effortlessly achieve the outcomes I always hope (and sometimes struggle) to include in my creations. This scene, titled Signs of Ageing, is superbly balanced and packed with texture and great parts usage. I love the look of those brown weed pieces with their stems buried deep in the blocky terrain. And the rooftop TV antenna and fur collar element used as a bird nest are amazing details. Another highlight is the very tidy little wheelie bin build, though it’s also giving me an ick-factor since where I live any black and orange refuse bin is going to be full of stuff you really don’t want to run afoul of!
