AV_Guy Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Hiya all. New member here, just leaving the dark ages :) Ive turned 39 3 times now and live in Chicago. Like most people I boxed up my legos when I went into high school and discovered id rather play with boobies over legos :) So about a month ago, I was driving past a yard sale, and saw a pile of power tools (raawr) So i had to stop to see if there was anything I needed. But next to said power tools i saw 2 lego sets. UCS Super star destroyer and Tantive IV. I was blown away how advanced lego had gotten, i made the owner an offer of a $100 bucks, she accepted and I happily took said sets home. (I didnt realize until later how valuable those sets are lol) One week later i had them built and they are now hanging from my office ceiling~ (Looking very cool btw) Well that experience completely got me reinvigorated towards Legos, Yaaaaaaaaa. As a kid i started on space sets, my coolest space set is the first space train. But then i got involved in classic castle. Which was my favorite. Since then i've raided my parents attic, drug out all my old legos and been happily assembling them all (Much to my wife's frustration lol) Which leads me into my next adventure. Since i dont believe in doing anything halfways, im jumping back in feet first. My first "moc" is going to be a large scale presentation of all my castle sets, as well as the ones ive been gobbling up on ebay. In a realistic kingdom setting. So far its going to be 10 32X32 base plates by 15 base plates. So wish me luck! (And happy bidding on acquiring all the damn flora im going to need to fill up such a large area) :) Edited April 6, 2019 by AV_Guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
