Colonel

Coming straight from LEGO World...

Recommended Posts

... where I met CopMike, KimT and Morten Sonne (3 really nice guys).

So of course I had to be a member of Eurobricks.

My user name refers to my carreer in the Danish Air Force, where my last assignment was Base Commander at Vaerloese Air Station near Copenhagen.

I got my first LEGO bricks 55 years ago, and in those days they were not good because they had no tubes inside.

My favourite themes are: City, Castle and Pirates

My christian name: Svend Erik Saksun.

Age: 65 next week.

Hi!

So, you are an ambassador? :thumbup:

"My christian name" that sounds wierd to me. I don't have a christian name. :grin:

Welcome to Eurobricks, Colonel! We're always glad to have another adult member here (we don't use the term mature for obvious reasons that will go nameless. :grin:).

Speaking of which... :wink:

... where I met CopMike, KimT and Morten Sonne (3 really nice guys).

Yes they are. :thumbup:

And cellulose acetate, so they warped easily. Ah, the good old days.

My favourite themes are: City, Castle and Pirates

Excellent choices! :thumbup:

Again, it's a pleasure to have you here, I hope you thoroughly enjoy our little site. :sweet:

Welcome to Eurobricks Colonel! :thumbup:

*stands attention*

Good to hear you met some of our Eurobricks ambassadors, nice guys indeed.

Your theme picking is also excellent, they are all high on my list too.

Do you collect sets, or MOC as well?

I'd like to ask you if you have a folder somewhere, so we can see some creations? :classic:

Glad you have the time to join our community.

I don't see Star Wars on that list of favourite themes :tongue:

Welcome aboard the Eurobricks ship aircraft. :grin:

Thank you very much everybody for your kind welcomes... :classic:

No I do not collect sets, because I think that LEGO bricks are made to build with instead of beeing locked up in boxes. At least that's what Ole, Godtfred and Kent has been trying to tell us for more than 50 years.

Therefore I stick to MOCs - and you can find a folder on Brickshelf (username: colonel).

And Kim: I don't do SW. I leave that to my 6 grand children.

Welcome aboard Colonel. Great to have someone with your experience here at Eurobricks. Most of us have had considerably less experience with LEGO so we'll be looking forward to hearing your persepective on some of the various topics that are discussed here.

I just looked at your brickshelf, and I think it's time for me to bring out the yellow bricks. Did you paint the background in this picture ?

Thanks Eilif - and yes: It is my painting.

Besides "sculpturing" with LEGO bricks I also paint with oil on canvas...

Welcome at Eurobricks Colonel!

You are a fine builder, I've been checking your BS folder and have seen some great MOCs.

Hello and welcome, my Ambassador.

You know that I've allways admired your way of building - and the way, you always bind a tale to your MOCs.

Welcome aboard - guess I'll soon see You again - to bad, that I missed the opportunity to meet you at LW 2009.

Best regards

Jesper

Thank you very much, Jesper, for the nice welcome.
