Posted January 23, 201510 yr Hello everyone ! I know and visit daily this great forum since 1 or 2 months, and I just decide to introduce myself a little. I'm 36, and just felt in love with Lego bricks after buying some little sets to my kid. I remember I had some space set when I was kid, played a little with them, but that's all. So i'm starting to buy Lego stuff just for me I like the Tolkien / catle universe, but I don't think most of Lego sets are not so great (well... Orthanc Tower is impressive, though). My first idea was to collect some minifigs, as I found most of them really nice. But I discovered the modular buildings, and found them gorgeous. I decided to buy some of them, I order first the Pet Shop, before it gets to be unavailable... I haven't received my first order yet, and I'm starting to change my mind again, as I discover all the great medieval MOC that can be found on the web on places like eurobrick or classic-castle : I'm really amazed by what some geniuses like Deferl Cadarn and others are able to do with simple LEGO bricks... So much better than any official LEGO set will ever be !!! So my secret dream is to gather (lot of) material, and learn how to create such beautiful buildings / scenes... Even if I doubt beeing able to do such incredible pieces of art. So, l look to my favorite MOC's pictures again and again, trying to figure out how they made this part, what piece can allow to do this, trying to reproduce some part with LDD, etc. That's all for the moment...
January 23, 201510 yr Welcome on board! Pretty amazing place You're coming from. Last of big tropical colonies in the world And from what i've heard You guys are quite without being independent? What of Guyana do You live in? And of course, enjoy the site, plenty of interesting stuff and discusions to be found here
January 25, 201510 yr Author Thanks all ! Mazin : actually I came to live here a few months ago, I lived in metropolitan France. Yes it's a great country, wild (most of Guyana is covered by amazonian forest, and its access is forbidden), I enjoy the place. I live near Cayenne,it's not very different than any european city. There is no independancy question here, never heard about it. People come from different places, the Antilles, europe, Brazil, Laos (the hmongs who left Laos few decades ago), native American indians... An heteroclit population who live quietly together, despite a lot of poor people. Edited January 26, 201510 yr by Solarfall

Well, it's surely much more exotic I mean, even LA is pretty exotic comparing to east coast and most of Europe So how's life there? Why did You dedided to move? Some good job oppotunities or is just cheaper and a climate is much warmer? Anything You miss about Europe? Well, obviously snow is one of the things You won't get there
January 26, 201510 yr Author Climate is warmer, for sure, it's always 30° here. My kid misses snow a little, as we lived near Alps before, but he got the beach 5 minutes away :) We came here for a job opportunity, and to experiment something different for us and our children, for a few years at least. Life is more expensive than in France, and cars and electrical stuff suffer a lot from heat and humidity, but we can deal with that. It's difficult to be far from family, and some stuff is hard to find unless at undecent price, and it's a shame that so many stores, especially the big ones like Amazon (or lego store !!) and so, don't deliver the place. That's why I'm still waiting for my first sets :) Thanks again for your welcome guys !
January 26, 201510 yr and it's a shame that so many stores, especially the big ones like Amazon (or lego store !!) and so, don't deliver the place. That's why I'm still waiting for my first sets :) Now it's realy exotic Anyway, i hope that this the decision will turn the right way for You and Your family It's actually nice to have a possibility to make such decisions, a lot of people are somewhat "cursed" to live in the same place all of their life. And now, here's an adventure

And now, here's an adventure Thank you, no regret at all about our decision so far. And you're right, it's a real chance I have to live this kind of experience, I never travelled before that, now it's time to make up for lost time !
