“This is a really strong modular building. I'm a huge fan. I'm a huge fan of Chris McVeigh, so knowing he was doing a modular was really exciting. There's a ton of colour and interesting features, a beautiful looking build and loads of detail. I like having a back story to... More these sets. It makes them so much more interesting and ‘alive'. It's big, uses some interesting new techniques – the vine, stairs, and water cooler, and is a lot of fun to build.”
