Bruce launches MinilandBricks [News]

Bruce of VignetteBricks and MicroBricks mentioned in our recent Claim to Fame roundup that someone should start a blog about Miniland LEGO creations.

Given that Miniland is the scale Master Builders use for the amazing cities and monuments at LEGOLAND theme parks, it only seems natural that this building scale should have its own blog.

And that’s just what Bruce has created, with MinilandBricks. Bruce says, “I’ll highlight MOCs and also great photography of the official park models.”

Incidentally, Bruce is also recruiting. If you’re interested in contributing to MicroBricks, drop him a line.

Best of luck, Bruce!
