Lego Masters Australia: Who are Matt and Lyn

Everything you need to know - by Simran Popal
  • 29 Apr 2019

Matt, 17, and Lyn, 71, have entered the competition as a grandmother and grandson team. Despite being officially labelled as the youngest and oldest contestants in the LEGO® MASTERS Australia competition, the Queensland-based duo are not to be underestimated.

Matt's LEGO obsession began after he was introduced by Lyn, a retired maternal child health nurse. She would reward him for his efforts whilst toilet training, earning a set piece by piece. 

Lyn considers herself to be a huge LEGO advocate and thinks it is a great tool for children’s development.

In fact, when she and her husband moved their young family to Papua New Guinea for work in the late 1970s, they brought LEGO kits for the three kids to play with as a tool to help transition into a new culture.

Matt was a gifted student during his school years. Skipping grade seven, the LEGO lover had already completed high school by the age 17 after which he took a gap year.

The 17-year-old will commence university studies in 2019, taking on a Fine Arts degree majoring in film, screen and new media. In his spare time Matt enjoys writing fiction, short stories and scripts, as well as reading and making models.

Matt and Lyn are our youngest and oldest competitors! 👦🧓 #LEGOMastersAU

Matt is a perfectionist who likes to set himself a theme and build to it from his collection of around 20,000-30,000 bricks. When making something big, Matt’s approach is to freestyle-build basic shapes and designs and then go back and get really specific on detailed elements until they’re perfect.

Lyn's hobbies outside of LEGO include sewing, jewellery making, embroidery and bead work, cooking and growing vegetables.

Don't worry Lyn, it's not that kind of show! 😂 #LEGOMastersAU

For Matt and Lyn, the most essential aspect of their builds is to enjoy each other’s company and have a laugh.
