Ahoy, y'all. New guy checkin' in from Seattle (northwestern corner of the Continental USA, a few hours south of Vancouver BC).

Started with LEGO in the Classic Space/Town era (sorry, Castle folks, it just wasn't my bag), went over to Pirates when it launched, had a dark age through the '90s and was drawn back in by Adventurers, Star Wars, Studios and original Life on Mars. (BTW, to me Mars Mission seems more like a "continuation" than a "reboot"--I don't think our cute li'l triangle-headed green friends from LoM had those BFG's on their stuff just for looks, and the Jellies seem to fit the "antagonist" bill even though they do look similar if you squint just right.) Stayin' in through Star Wars, now Indy and MM--if I keep things focused to a few themes I'm more likely to complete 'em on my limited budget--and in for the ride on Pirates 2.0...

Been working on a series of MOCs ever since the Super Chief released, trying to design it and other notable American passenger trains (although I also plan to do the '50s Canadian and '29 Trans-Canada Limited if I can find the blueprints) in 10-wide--if anyone is willing to suggest frame-design ideas I'd love the help in return for a "co-designer" credit.

Personal quirk: I'm not a "Yank" or "Yankee"--my roots are South Texas, and thus for my background those are fightin' words.

See y'all around the forum!

Dear Diamondback,

welcome to EB.

Don't worry I won't call you Yankee, or should i say a Jan-Kees.

Because the names Jan and Kees were used by the Brits to identify those

pesky Dutch people in New Amsterdam (New York).

(who, by the way, copied nice chunks of our "Plakkaat van Verlatinghe" (1581) in your declaration of independance (1776)

here)

So since you're from Texas you're a cowboy to me.

Kind regards,

Teddy
