Week of 4/11 on The Brick Rebels


This week is a lot of fun as we explore the LEGO Architecture line.  I had a lot of fun creating these videos as I not only showcase these amazing skyline sets but also the cities they are featuring.  This week we visit three great locations as we build set 21026, 21027 and 21028.  Come visit Venice, Berlin and New York Brick Rebels style!

New York with Julian Velard!

Better yet I get to showcase some of my good friend Julian Velard's music for the New York city skyline set.  You should definitely check out more of his music on his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/JulianVelard1.
