Here's a quick orientation for new followers! I make building guides available for most of the ‪#‎lego‬ models I design and showcase on this page, and they're always free to download at http://chrismcveigh.com.

You'll also find that many of my models are available as custom building kits at my store: http://powerpig.storenvy.com.

In addition to designing my own Lego models, I'm also a toy photographer specializing in bright, colourful images. You can see all of my photography at http://flickr.com/powerpig
