SamBo Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Hi guys, My name is Sam and I'm an AFOL from Sydney, Australia. I was a huge fan of Lego while I was growing up but ended up in that dark age like alot of people tend to do. I managed to hang on to most of my collection (there is a lot missing though :( ) for all these years and I recently started to build again. I'm into the Star Wars sets mainly, but also like getting other sets depending on the pieces or minifigs they contain. What I enjoy MOCing are large scale cars and I try to make ones that have not been overly created by others (so avoiding the Lambos, Ferraris and other well-known super cars). Currently working on an old Mini which should be around 30-ish studs long. Funny enough, I've looked over this site a few times and always dismissed it thinking there wouldn't be much that applies to us here since it's a Euro site.... /facepalm I checked out the SBS over the weekend and there were some incredible creations there. The aim is for me to have something to display there next year, fingers crossed. Quote

I'm recently back into LEGO just this year and was really inspired at the Sydney Brick Show, just what will I conjur up for next year? Would love to see some pics of the Mini Hope you enjoy your time here -MM Quote

The Mini is coming along at a relatively slow pace (I haven't had a lot of time for building just lately. So far I've just made up the chassis and the front grille + headlights. I think these will be the trickiest parts of the build so it shouldn't really be long now until I have it finished. I'll post up some pics once it is complete. I want to get it finished so I can start on my next project which will be a late-ish model (BA or BF) Ford Falcon ute, in lime green, or maybe orange. Probably going to be a headache sourcing all the parts in those colours! Quote

Would love to see some pics of the Mini Hope you enjoy your time here -MM I've finished the mini (just waiting on 2 wheels from bricklink). I'll take some pics once the 2 wheels arrive from the US. I'm still trying to work out where on this forum pics for this type of model would go. Maybe Special Lego Themes? **Edit: Wheels just arrived. I'll try and put up pics tonight. **Another edit: I've put up pics of the mini here. I've also almost finished the Ford Falcon ute in lime. Waiting on a bricklink order and will have it finished a few days after. Probably have it finished before the wheels for the mini arrive Edited June 29, 2012 by SamBo Quote
