After all the buzz about tiny MOCs pushing themselves into first row and the community-stress that came along with it, I thought it would be a good moment to raise a question that invites you to tell something about how far your LEGO-hobby - or should I say addiction - goes. Hoping that sharing some light-hearted personal stories will add to the community-spirit. The main question boils down to the following: Do you actually go as far as to get down on your knees to play with your build to feel how it performs or inspect how it behaves while pushing the buttons on your RC? And of course, any other story or anecdote that shows us how far your addiction goes is welcome too. For instance: LEGO has cost you your marriage and you're fine with it. Share it with us. Anything non-AFOLs won't understand. Let me be the first to speak out. I'm a push-along type of guy. I can sit with my build for hours, pushing the suspension over and over again, seeing the gears function over and over again, and then suddenly, after re-thinking one aspect over and over again, I take half the build apart to refactor only a very small substructure of the entire thing. And when the whole build is - once again - finished, the delight of the accomplishment is tremendous. Until I start testing the suspension again, or start pushing the car once more to feel how the steering behaves. Then the whole process starts over again, and I'm perfectly happy with that.

Hi everyone, I am starting this new topic to share with you a little story and a project. I am a photography enthusiast and I have been for nearly 10 years now. I recently came back from my dark times and I am currently starting my collection of Lego Technics and Star Wars sets. This is the story of how I came back to the Lego world. I am currently finishing my studies in Shanghai and a few months ago, I decided it would be cool to shoot a mini-movie of a car model in the streets of the city to share with my family and friends back in Europe. Looking at all the options that I had (in terms of small car models) I came across the Lego Technic 8081 (that you see in the video below). After a few days, that was it, I WAS BACK, I could not resist. And at the same time, I was discovering the possibilities offered by my new camera (Nikon V1) in terms of movie shooting and image quality. If you are interested in more on this subject, just ask but for now let's just say that it offers me the ability to take cinema quality shots but for only 1-second-shots at a time. So this topic is the place for me to share with you this adventure. I started to think about the project, finding a song or two, planning places to shoot etc. And of course I built the Lego 8081 ;-) The video below is a "test" shooting I did recently to check how cool (or not) it would be. I think it turned out great ! [Please, do not hesitate to load it in the highest setting : 1080p to really appreciate its image quality in fullscreen] I would love to get your feedback and to share this entire experience with who is interested :)
