The aficionado of all things Lego has spent much of his life building masterpieces from the popular product.

“The thing with Lego is there's virtually no limits, the possibilities and options are endless really, as opposed to anything else,” Draeger said.

His creations range from a 1.95 metre model of the Spirit of Tasmania, to a Lego recreation of old Launceston.

Draeger believes that while there are no limits to what you can build with Lego, he finds people stick too closely to the instructions.

“The original intention of Lego was designed to build a kids imagination,” Draeger said.

“But if Lego spoon feeds kids with 'here's the exact parts you need and here's instructions,' then where's the imagination in that?”

Draeger enjoyed Lego as a kid, but has come to find new meaning in the hobby as he has aged.

All of Draeger’s creations are his own, for all his projects he has never used an instruction manual.

Draeger said people have asked him where the instructions are for his pieces.

When he answers “there’s no instructions,” people are quite surprised.

“In more modern generations we're losing the art of creating,” he said.

Draeger has been involved in the Lego-themed event Brixhibition since it started in Launceston in 2013.

He hopes to one day be able to create something similar to a Legoland in Launceston.

There was even talk of a hotel made from Lego.

“I know it [Legoland] would be extremely popular - I can certainly build the thing, I can certainly design it but I need someone to see the same vision I have,” he said.

“Lego is the biggest toy manufacturer in the world, every place in the world that has some sort of Legoland or some sort of brick display, people just flock to it.”

Draeger believes that the future of Lego as a business is bleak, as they continue to remake certain sets.

“They might bring out a new train set or a new car or a new plane but it's sort of the same thing but revamped,” Draeger said.

Ultimately Draeger wants people to find their creative spark in the bricks, and that many vital life lessons can be learnt by working with them.

“You always can try and inspire the next generation to think outside the box and don't simply do what's put in front of you with a set of instructions, that's not just with Lego, it’s with everything,” he said.

“The next generation should be educated to be free-thinkers and to think outside the box and just because instructions say do this, that doesn't necessarily mean you have to do that.”
