My family had accepted and I think after our visit in legoland they can understand me why I do this. And they know where I having from this. My father loves also build models, but in a other way, he had a big modeltrain in the garden.
My friends, a few accept that it gives me only with lego ;-) but the most find it is childish and not the right for a student, they say it will be better when I employ me with girls 8-| ... But nobody can change my opinion about lego as my hobby. :-)
