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!
