Hello fellow AFOL's!
My name is Martijn and I'm from the Netherlands.
I've been a fan of Lego since I was a child. When I was in high school I stopped playing with it. A few years ago I was curious about the the sets and themes Lego was producing at the time, when I came across the Café Corner and Green Grocer. I had to resist myself not to buy them but it didn't last long before I ordered the Café Corner and later on also the Green Grocer. Now I own all modular buildings that have been released untill now. Except for the Market Street because I think it doesn't belong to the series. (but that''s just my opinion)
During these years I also started MOCing. My first creation wasn't really a MOC. It was Ollie the Dragon in different Colors. Black instead of green skin and orange instead of blue eyes. Not very original since a lot of people made that one in different colors but you have to start somewhere.
Currently I made 5 more MOCs. Four of them are castle/medieval themed which is my favorite theme. The other one is a small car. Other than that I made a few tablescraps and minifigures. I will post pictures of my first real MOC soon.
Now, the only problem I have is room to place MOCs and sets. Lucky for me, a Lego store opened in my city last year so I can place some of my MOCs over there.
Speaking about the Lego store... I forgot to mention another MOC. It's a bridge that was meant for a customer. The owner of the store asked me if I wanted to build it. Unfortunatly the customer didn't want it anymore before seeing the result or actually; before I could finished it. I still finished it however and now it's on display over there. I might post pictures of it in the Town subforum sometime.
Well, that's a bit about me and my Lego 'history.'
Edit: I made a topic for my first MOC. you can find it here.
