Welcome to the '3 Brick Friends' website. This site highlights the LEGO creations built by the father and daughter team of Mike, Chloe and Holly from Reading in the UK.
As a family, along with wife Erica, they organise the annual Reading Brick Show.
Our Youtube channel is our primary way to display our LEGO builds and is a great way to see the development of an idea into the finish LEGO creation. As well as our own creations we document our experiences, opinions, building techniques, tutorials, reviews, purchases and some areas of LEGO news. We work with all LEGO themes to keep variety so hopefully there will be something for all LEGO fans.
You can subscribe to our Youtube channel for free to see all our videos or add this site to your favourites to keep up to date with our favourite LEGO creations.
