Posted July 10, 200717 yr Greetings!!! My name is Vasco Serranho, and I'm from Portugal! :-$ My lego life started when i was 6 years old and the castle 6080 entered my house (b-day gift for my big and only brother)... That same day we divided the pieces in hald, the construction began, and the imagination never stopped! :D Everyday I was creating new stuff, and that was the only toy I never got bored of it!!! Since then, every birthday, christmas or any ocasion to give me a gift, the question was never "what do you want for a present?" but always "what LEGO you want for a present?" :-D I never had a real dark age, although there was a time that my enthusiasm with Lego was not so big, due to having lack of pieces, and the new sets were kinda disapointing >:-( (Pirates and castle were over, juniorization, the sets disapeared from the store shelves, etc...). Add that to the University and house improvements that made my collection to be stored in boxes, and you can guess the result... :'-( Summer 2005 was the rebirth of my collection. :'-) I met some people that introduced me to ebay and bricklink stores, the internet Lego user groups and forums. Also presented me to PLUG - the Portuguese Lego User Group, wich I joined in december that same year. ... soon the less-than-10kg box of sorted pieces expanded to a set of drawers and boxes with elements divided by category, shape and colour, and over new sets that filled the rest of the room, with Lego up to the roof! :-| My mocs began to appear once again, and i never stopped so far!!! I have now an adorable collection of original sets, and a respectable quantity of kilos of pieces in organized drawers, and a lot of MOC's and MOD's of my own... most of them I haven't took pictures yet, but soon I expect to update my webpage and my brickshelf page with all my creations :D My preferences are... ALL FOR MINIFIGS!!! I love all Lego, but my favorite scale is always minifig-scale. I love to include technic aplications for this scale too! X-D but of course I have a special place for some of the themes: Pirates, Castle (classic), Space (M:tron is my favorite), City (4-wide), Monorail and others... Feel free to comment my creations on my websites!!! e-mail: dj_vasser@yahoo.co.uk msn: dj_vasser@hotmail.com Hi5: http://vasser.hi5.com/ Lego Collection website: http://vasser.no.sapo.pt/lego brickshelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=ribatagus
July 10, 200717 yr Hello Ribatagus! Thanks for the nice introduction, and welcome to Eurobricks! I'm sure you'll make a fine addition to the site. :-)
July 10, 200717 yr Welcome to Eurobricks. The home of Lego love. *wub* Well you seem to have taken same angle as I did; make a post so long that there are no questions to ask! However, after much thought, I have one question to ask that you missed; how old are you? I assume you are 29, am I close? :-P My lego life started when i was 6 years old and the castle 6080 entered my house Oh, how I drooled over that set. Never got it though. :-(
July 10, 200717 yr Author Welcome to Eurobricks. The home of Lego love. *wub* Well you seem to have taken same angle as I did; make a post so long that there are no questions to ask! However, after much thought, I have one question to ask that you missed; how old are you? I assume you are 29, am I close? :-POh, how I drooled over that set. Never got it though. :-( Yes you got it pretty close! just turned 28 last 15th may X-D 6080 was the inspiration of all my built castles of my "ancient times", and the construction still survived the "shadow times" *sweet* (that and all my MOC's from that time are still boxed... ) The worst thing i remember from those times was to count every single piece in order to have enough to make it... feels so good not to have that problem anymore! :-D (I love to impersonate yoda's voice... i have to do this here too ) :-$ *yoda* now a eurobricks member I am, take pictures of my MOC's I must, hmmhmm... here goes my first MOC: The road-building machines! :D http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...showtopic=10318
July 10, 200717 yr Look who he is! What's up Vasco? Wellcome to the forum! Don't forget to comment my MOC's! ;-) Have fun And C ya Roger
July 12, 200717 yr SNVT on!! *wub* That's a movie to look forward to, but personally I think it is too un-realistic... ;-)
July 12, 200717 yr My preferences are... ALL FOR MINIFIGS!!! I completely agree with you there. :-D Welcome to EB.
July 12, 200717 yr Author Thanks for the warm welcome from you all! X-D *wub* Asuka, the brige was a nice way of saying "found you" :-D ! That's (for me) the best landscape of them all!!! That view is from the old Castle in Santar Edited July 12, 200717 yr by Ribatagus
July 12, 200717 yr Nice history you have there! And your list of favorite themes contains Pirates and Castle! The best themes! Welcome to our friendly port Mr Serranho! I have one question to make: There is something in the profile called "additional information" with these items:Country Pirate Rank Promote Space Rank Country flag Country: Here, you can fill in your country Pirate rank: Out of date... Promote: also out of date.. Space rank: More a tag system, you can request one in a thread in the space and mecha forum. Country flag: Only Staff members and fellows get a flag in their profile. But perhaps if you're lucky you'll end up as a fellow one day! ;-) Mr Tiber Edited July 12, 200717 yr by Mr Tiber
July 12, 200717 yr That's a movie to look forward to, but personally I think it is too un-realistic... ;-) It's not my genre either... ;-) God Bless, Nathan
