Hi, folks,
I don’t participate in Lugnet much, but I have my son, Spencer, to thank for
re-introducing me to Lego. I told the
story a while back.
Spencer is not old enough to have an email address, or to post to Lugnet. So
with this post I am formally introducing him. I hope that you and/or your kids
will welcome him.
I’ve been posting my MOCs, and his, to Brickshelf for some time now. I also
post messages to Lugnet and get feedback on my own MOCs... but Spencer is
puzzled why no one has left him comments about his MOCs! So I’ll introduce you
to his folder, highlight
a few MOCs, and tell a few quick stories.
Spencer would really like to know what people think of his recent
Pokémon comic. Plenty
of people have already visited this folder -- perhaps some of you? I helped
Spencer with the photography and the captions, but the models, story, and
dialogue are all his doing. He has built more elaborate scenery and written an
outline for a second comic strip. I hope that we’ll start shooting it soon.
I have had most of our Lego collection sorted for years, which is a very unusual
condition for children to encounter. Because of this organization, I’ve noticed
a tendency for Spencer to build creations with many copies of the same part.
Sometimes the result is pretty good! When he was four, he built a
kangaroo and joey
using only 2 x 2 right-angle brackets. He built the kangaroo first, and showed
it to his Mom. She asked him, “where’s the little joey?” -- and he went back
and built one.
More recently, using the same 2 x 2 brackets, he built a spaceship that he calls
the Starfighter 62.
Folding landing gear -- that’s my boy! (Personally, I think that this model
looks more like a freighter than a fighter. The square enclosure screams to be
filled with cargo containers. But if my kid says it’s a fighter, then that’s
what it is.)
Please let Spencer know what you think. Thanks!

| Hi, I just have to tell you that you're a great dad and you've got a cool young builderon your hands. I've seen kids stuff online before and it's pretty standard brick stacking (and that's good stuff). But I saw your son's stuff online a few days (...)
