Been here a while now...

Hello there!

I'm Nick, 24 years old, just thought i'd drop by this part of the forum to say hello to everyone *y*

ive always had a keen interest in lego since the age of about 5y/o i remember one of the first sets

i bought was a town set, cant remember the name & number of the actual set but i know it had black

spanners & a blue carjack may have been somekind of mechanic set, then started to collect space ;-)

I also have keen interests in classic space, mainly Mtron, Blacktron1&2, Iceplanet, Insectoids.

Pirates, although never had an actual ship of my own, iam currently building a MOC ship, will post pics

soon.

Nick :-D

Welcome Nick!

I'm looking forward to see that ship you are building.

Don't hesitate to make a "progress"-thread.

Thanks Bonaparte, the Man pictured is a distant ancestor of mine, George Stephenson is his name,

he is the creator of the Rocket Steam engine, my family have a very long history in engineering.

If you would like to know more check out the links below, the first gives the history of George Stephenson,

the second is information on his steam locomotive "The Rocket"

Just thought i'd post the links for those interested in trains & railway etc etc ;-)

... then started to collect space ;-)

Hello Steam Engineer!

I thought you would have written: Then I started to collect TRAINS! :-D

No wrong decision to go for space, though. ;-) Insectoids? *cough* :-|

Hey Nick, welcome to Eurobricks. :-)

Stephenson's Rocket

Would this board game happen to be based off your ancestor?

[Norro]

Hey and welcome! A nice 'retro' ;-) name...

But really you should build in an era where your ideas about steam would be appreciated... such as:

Castle! X-D

God Bless,

Hi Nick and welcome to our humble page on the web. Enjoy your stay as much as I have so far. By the way, your name reminds me of Steamboat Willie, the first Mickey Mouse short in B&W. :-P
