The Launceston school teacher is a self-confessed Lego addict, and his sci-fi adorned hobby room is testament to that.
Mr Willard will showcase his incredible Lego-building talents along with scores of like-minded enthusiasts at this year’s Brixhibition.
Organiser Ken Draeger described this year’s event – to be held at the Hotel Grand Chancellor over the weekend of April 22 and 23 – as the largest ever to grace Launceston, featuring some 175 tables.
Mr Willard’s fully interactive, motorised space display will take up 16 of those tables and is a true labour of love.
“Originally it was a train station, now it has a nightclub, rotating gun turrets and radar dishes, even a working volcano. It’s just ridiculous,” Mr Willard said.
Entry to Brixhibition is $5 adults, $3 children and $15 for a family.
