It all started with a trip to a Lego store in the United States. Ryan "The Brick Man" McNaught was expecting twins and bought blocks for his future children.

When McNaught returned to Australia, before his children were born, he whipped out the blocks and began to build.

That was eight years ago. Now, McNaught is one of 14 Lego "certified" professionals in the world. He is a real life master builder, travelling the world making the biggest and best Lego models - and hoping they don't get smashed.

How can you improve your relationship with Lego beyond painfully stepping on an unassuming brick?
