“The latest in Hanwas’ collection of BrickLink builds is the Riverside Scholars, which hasn’t changed all that much considering the rest of the series. Though some building techniques have changed to more reliable methods, the layout remains the same and only a single... More minifigure has been added for a parts difference of less than 80 elements.”

The Mountain Windmill was released as part of the Bricklink Invitational and The Ocean House is a Series 2 Finalist, due to enter crowd funding next year.

I’m extremely happy to bring the third set in the series, The Riverside Scholars, to a Bricklink Designer Program!

The Story
