Ryan ‘The Brick Man’ McNaught has a job that most kids would dream of having. Ryan is a certified LEGO professional, responsible for constructing large-scale models out of the popular toy building blocks – many of which break records for size and intricacy. Over 13 days from December 10–22 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, sixty of Ryan’s creations will be on display for the Brickman Eperience, with behind the scenes stories, original drawings and sketches on show alongside each build. Five million LEGO bricks have gone into the construction of Ryan’s structures, which include one of the biggest ever Star Wars LEGO builds, a QANTAS A380, a LEGO Ferrari and the world’s biggest LEGO flower.

Each day will see two massive LEGO mystery mosaics built by budding master builders. Kids will also be able to construct their own LEGO builds in the trainee master builder area, as well as taking part in a secret signature build, which can see your child’s name end up on one of Ryan’s next projects. Should you have a few master builders in the making at home, or if you are looking to reconnect with your own childhood, head to the Brickman Experience and immerse yourself in the imaginative world of LEGO.
