Posted October 28, 200717 yr Well finally im here after years of enjoying and not commenting. Well a little about me then i suppose... Hi, im lee im 31, had me first duplo at about 4 i think and then was hooked! I suppose growing up in the early 80's was the heyday of town and hey that's me! an anal child i kept all the boxes and instructions.... mint sets.... were well played with and enjoyed but carefully put away. Now i have a legacy of two wardrobes full of lovely played with but in mint conditin sets from the 80's ( at my parents house in sealed cabinets lol) plus an extensive collection of sets i couldnt afford as a kid and bought the on ebay... airport monorail anyone! lol Loved the Pirates ( very early space played a part and early castle i.e the first grey ( Castle Lion) and nailed my folks to buy the first Pirate ship for me when i was ooo 13-14 i think! it was a lot of money at the time and i was from the north east of england and we had no money!. But they did and they are sill overjoyed at the fact that i get sooo much out of it now! (even tho they need the space and are praying for me to get a mortgage, have my own house and empty the house of plastic bricks!). I live and work in london and have aquired so many more sets to complete my collection - now i have the money! I have all my sets locked up in a store room now but a few years ago when i first moved here with not a brick in hand i started on the ebay! and then brickset... oh many glorious things! I've had a town in my mind since they early 80's.. it' called Brickside Bay I luckily own most of the town sets from the 80's and 90's and its a wonderful place! I started adding my MOCS a few years ago built to my standards and the town standard of that time. Now we have then new cc standard that has opended up my creativity and my town sorta fits, in minifig scale.. not to big (cc is slightly too big but it's bloody lovely! a dream of a set) so im in the process of upgrading and renovating my town. I'm loving my hobby ( slightly expensive at times) but bloody worth it! I have a web site for my real life lol Leemalcolmson.co.uk I shall be updating you all on my progress with Brickside Bay Play on ! Lx
October 28, 200717 yr Eurobricks Emperor Welcome Lee.... You have made some wonderful MOCs for Brickside Bay. I hope you keep them posting here. Have fun !
October 28, 200717 yr Welcome LeLee! Quite an impressively professional website there, and very informative. I went looking for your LEGO work and found the entire rest of your life, which is something we don't always have the opportunity to learn about in this forum, so it was a nice change. :-) You may enjoy chatting with our own local actor/LEGOmaniac Hinckley, as it seems you share that interest in common as well, just on opposite sides of the pond. *y* Brickside Bay On! *y*
October 28, 200717 yr Welcome Lelee! You were very wise to keep all your boxes! I will be hoping to see some more pirate/town/space MOC's from you soon, as your Brickside Bay MOC's are fantastic. *wub*
