No, we didn't join just to enter a contest...<br /><br />We indulge in MOCs. Believe it or not, the motorized Technic models you see represent a combined total of approximately 500 hours of concept, design, testing, and refinements of multiple configurations for the same models.<br /><br />We also specialize in custom 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ships (Pearl, Dutchman, and Endeavour) and create fishmates and Davy Jones minifigs.<br /><br />Why "Ole&Godt's"???<br /><br />The accepted origin of the name 'LEGO' comes from the original founder's (Ole Christiansen) son, Godtfred who stated that it comes from "leggodt", meaning 'play well' (hence our sign-off used in all posts). Our theory is that when Ole decided on 'LEGO', he started with Ole & Godt (it was a father and son business at the time; Godt, short for Godtfred). The ampersand does resemble a 'G'. So when he put the names together, Ole&Godt, to form one word, he also saw 'leggodt', but was focussing on the names. He truncated 'OleGodt' to *-LEGO-* (as it was displayed in the early days, with the dots and dashes before and after LEGO representing the dropped letters - note the lack of the double 'g', further indicating that he was combining the names and not specifically refering to 'leggodt' or we would be playing with 'LEGGOs'). Hence, LEGO does refer to 'leggodt', meaning 'play well', simultaneously with the actual origin, in the names.<br /><br />Play well,<br />Ole&Godt's
