Fabuland Story Time
Launched in 1979, the Fabuland theme was revolutionary in terms of storytelling for the LEGO Group. Each instruction booklet featured charming hand-drawn illustrations that not only guided children on how to build the set but entertained them with playful tales about the animal friends.
This microscale model is a tribute to my cherished childhood set 341: ‘Catherine Cat's House and Mortimer Mouse’. I wanted to continue and expand the Fabuland storytelling tradition by having Cathy and Morty role-play with little LEGO versions of themselves. Very meta!
- The hilly backdrop is removable, providing access to the playable interior of the house where there is just enough room for Cathy’s mid-century modern red table and chairs.
- The entire MOC stays faithful to the original limited Fabuland palette, using 10 of the available 16 colours.
- Their microscale 341 playset is contained within a modest 4x8 footprint, which fits nicely on Morty’s prized walnut coffee table.
