LEGO Masters Australia will see eight pairs of passionate creators let loose on The Brick Pit, where 2.5 million LEGO bricks await, determined to build staggering models and masterpieces that will leave you gobsmacked.
Henry, 37, and Cade, 35, may have totally distinct building styles, but they plan on merging their powers to advantage.

New South Wales competitor Henry approaches building from a more technical perspective, Cade however brings a more creative flair to his pieces. Both are perfectionists and incredibly competitive.
While Queensland’s Cade had small LEGO sets from the age of four, his passion for LEGO was cemented around age six when pirates themed LEGO hit shelves. Having played with LEGO as a child, Henry was hooked all over again after rediscovering it when his eldest son was five.
Henry is a father to three boys (aged 11, eight and 10 months) who unfortunately doesn’t get to express his creative side at his job as a property valuer, so he blows off his creative steam at home building LEGO and playing guitar.
A dad also, Cade hobbies include playing DUPLO with his two-and-a-half year old son professing to have “mad skills” at building DUPLO cars and trucks. Unlike his LEGO partner, Cade is able to flex his creative muscles for a living as a video game designer in Brisbane.
Both contestants have collected a staggering number of LEGO pieces, with Henry owning around 200,000 bricks and Cade with 100,000 in his vicinity.
A respected builder within the LEGO community, Henry’s large Gundam and X-Men robot creations have been featured in various LEGO publications, and he has regularly exhibited at the Sydney Brick Show.
No stranger to large-scale builds either, Cade was part of a team who, with LEGO artist Ben “The Brick Builder” Craig, built a life-size LEGO caravan made of 288,630 bricks in 2018, earning a Guinness World Records berth for the largest LEGO caravan ever built.
Henry will have to watch his tendency to procrastinate and Cade his propensity for getting bogged down in the planning phase. The duo expect to have fun bouncing ideas off each other and uniting their skillsets for team success in LEGO MASTERS Australia 2019.
