Hello from Warsaw, Poland

Hello Everyone

I'm a registered user and frequent reader of EB forum since September 2009. I just thought today it might be a good day to write my first post on the forum and introduce myself in a few words.

So... my name is Maciej Drwiega, 30 years old, married, working in IT industry.

My dark age finally ended somewhere in the mid of 2001 when I took my Lego bricks from the basement to play with younger cousin. Cousin got back to Italy but the bricks have never returned to the box. It was something like 2kg of bricks, mainly small Legoland sets and two bigger ones from the Model Team series: 5580 and 5510.

Since then I come a long way as an AFOL. From first MOCs published over Internet in 2002 through something like 3 and a half years of leading local Polish AFOL’s community, organizing Lego events etc. to freelance-builder status with dedicated Lego room in my home. I believe there is no sense to write how this hobby can impact the day-to-day life, some of you probably know that from own experiences. I try to deal with it and the result seems to be not so bad :) I hope :)

Let’s get back to bricks. I'm mainly focused on Lego trains and some kind of Model Team series extension: 1:13 scale trucks. What might be unusual I try to keep all of my creations so the collection of MOCs is continuously growing.

All train models are kept for a diorama of train station which is on its way and should be finished in nearest months.

Each truck is a separate project for me but they all together (especially US trucks) are kept in same style so can be treated as one family :)
