armchair_superhero Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Greetings all, my name is ben and i'm from australia, i was once an architect but am now a primary school teacher. i got my first lego at age 3, set #6824 to be precise, way back in 1984. after a 15 year hiatus of not touching the stuff, i got back into lego through using it to make stop-motion animations with my grade 3 class. I am extremely fond of building facades, and like to attempt lots of historic buildings etc. i have plenty of experience using cad from my architecture days, so LDD has been a revelation for my designing. still getting used to some of the features, and have to convince the missus that it is wise to spend thousands of dollars and devote a corner of the house to my city design! attached is my most recent re-design of the Epsom clock tower (this was where i got the image to base it on http://www.epsomandewellhistoryexplorer.org.uk/EpsomClockTower.html) Quote

It sure looks like you're putting your architecture expertise to good use with your LDD designs, as evidenced by that wonderful digitally-rendered Epsom Clock Tower. Hope to see more designs, and even better real brickbuilds, from you. Enjoy the site! Quote

The Yellow Brick Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Welcome to Eurobricks Armchair_Superhero, Your clock tower is beautiful. Quote
armchair_superhero Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 thanks all, its a pleasure to be in the company of other like-minded individuals. unfortunately, my childhood supply of bricks lacks the quantity and quality i need to realise my designs, but never fear, there will be some images of real brick builds to come shortly, once my little special orders from lego arrive in the post... in the meantime, here's another work-in-progress design, based on the GPO in my home town of Brisbane, beautiful old historic building that has sadly been turned into a nightclub for stuck-up yuppie wankers. http://www.mocpages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=246668&id=/user_images/68861/1294748727m_DISPLAY.jpg Quote
