   Actually, it sounds like a great idea. I just wish I was worthy of the calling!

Yep, I’m feeling a little inferior myself, looking at the talent pool of the AFOL community as represented here on LUGNET.

I think it’s important to point out that acceptance will be based on more than building skill alone. Ambassadors will be chosen for their “all around” skill.

If you think you would be interested in the program, have the time to parcipate, and feel that you bring something positive to the community, please don’t hesitate to apply.

It’s funny... in all my years in the community, I’ve never once heard any AFOL say “Yeah, I’m a pretty dang good builder”. That includes the best builders on the planet. I guess we all tend to underestimate our building skill.

Except me. I suck. Really. Ask anybody. Why do you think I stick with building LEGO web sites instead of LEGO MOCs?

Well, I’m not Mr. Barile, but I play him on TV...

If that’s true, Kelly (and I sorta doubt it is), then you show the perfect example of being able to do amazing things for the community and not be a great builder.

OK, perhaps not “suck” at MOCs, but I’m definitely not anywhere near the same league as the big boys and girls around here. Nosebleed section, that’s me. I do find it interesting that I like building things about things that you use to build with. I just need to finish stuff, that’s my problem.

But my 10-year-old son is definitely more creative with the bricks than his old man, boy howdy.

Kelly, ya never know when the Lego Ambassadors will need a website... ;)
