A few weeks ago, the Belgian newspaper “Vers L’Avenir” contacted me with the very cool idea to create a 2012 retrospective… in LEGO form. Twelve vignettes to be delivered in a timeframe of approximately 4 weeks… I knew I could not do this on my own so I reached out to an AFOL I am a big fan of… Designholic. We had pretty tight timelines to produce this, while I took care of the builds, Designholic took care of the photography, setup and Minifigure casting. We were free to pick the subjects we wanted so we tried to select topics from various areas, some are Belgian specific, others made the headlines around the world. While we would have preferred to only show fun and positive events, life is unfortunately not only made of good news, I want to make clear that we do not mean any disrespect to the people who were affected by some of these events.

They managed to blend the LEGO vignettes with actual pictures from these events; they really did a great job there! If you want to know a bit more around this project, the paper also published an interview of us (in French) … there is also a short video where you get to see a little more the different builds. Thanks for watching and best wishes for 2013!
