Keen photographer and Lego enthusiast Nick Micheels designed and created the set himself. Unfortunately, it’s not available to buy…yet. But with your help, it could be.

Often, we a point made so often that the actual message becomes lost. We hear arguments from both sides that justcompletely don’t get it. To the point where we forget what the original discussion was all about. “The gear does not matter” is one such debate.
