i remember my very first technic build, it was 9395....i remember being stunned at the amount of parts!
i emptied the bags into the empty box and being shell shocked at how many parts there were and wondering how the hell i was going to put this thing together!
no joke, it took me 24 hours to build that set, constantly looking at the instructions, measuring the axles and beams, checking pin placement etc.
now over 2 years later i find myself building sets at lightning pace!...i can take a quick glance at the building step and can find the axle or beam no problem without checking anything, i know the parts now...i know what a 1x11 beam looks like, the position of the holes, the length of axle etc.
in many ways it seems i now build TOO fast!, the build buzz does not last as long :-(
in some ways i like to revert to those innocent days, how about you guys?
