Meet Rob & Rachael (@middlingbricks / @sakura_bricks) bringing medieval magic with “Assault on Lion’s Hearth”.
Would you believe Bricktastic was their VERY FIRST show?!
Here’s a little bit more about Rob & Rachael
What got you into building LEGO as an adult fan?
Rob – I have always been into LEGO since a child and it never left.
Rachael – I got into LEGO from Rob.
What’s the name of your build and what inspired it?
Assault on Lion’s Hearth: I loved castle as a child and enjoyed building it so I thought it would be cool to have a scene with everything in.

It took around 12 months.
Is there a detail that people tend to miss?
Rob – The jousting scene.
Rachael – The dwarven mine.
What’s the biggest challenge in bringing this build together?
It really was the transportation. We have never done a show before so it was a challenge working out how to break it down and pack it away.
What part of the display are you most proud of?
Rob – The wizard tower.
Rachael – The barn (As this was what I designed myself).
Are you planning to display this anywhere else?
No, this was its only show.
What’s your next LEGO project after this one?

Rachael – Botanicals and using the gardens.
Additional: If LEGO could make a new theme what would you want them to make?
Rob – I would love them to make Game of Thrones.
