Hello fellow Lego fans
I am from South Africa and used to have a fair amount of Lego as a child. I recently started to pick up an interest in collecting Lego again, mainly to try get creative. I love building things however i am far form an expert in design etc.
I am a huge Star wars and sci-fi fan, although I do enjoy all sorts of genres in movies. I quite enjoy PC gaming and tech stuff, but I am also quite happy to be out in the beautiful countryside/wilderness we have here in South Africa. Another one of my interests is Airsoft, a military simulation sport. I am not sure if any of you ever played a game called Spore, but it was quite enjoyable to be able to design your own creation to be used in game. I spent a LOT of time just creating. I stumbled across LDD a few weeks back and that has sparked my sudden interest in Lego again. It reminded me of my days creating in Spore.
For what it is worth, here is a link to my Spore page
EDIT: Ok cant post links yet. Will come back and post the link if anyone would like to see it later once I have some more posts ;)
I found a mom doing some toy clean out and managed to buy well over 2500 pieces from around 40 sets of lego at an almost give away price.( Many just small sets ) This was enough to get me started again, and I have since bought about 7 new sets, about 1 a week. I'll admit it has been expensive for me , but now I have a nice variety to start with.
I made my first little mini "mech" walker today and will try post the lxf file in the correct topic.EDIT: posted LDD MOC: Mini Walker Mech
I am also starting to take an interest in photography so hopefully one day I can add some high quality MOC scene based photograph.
See you all around ;)
