Hello,
I've read posts here for years, but have made relatively few posts of my
own.  I blame it all on a mechanical engineers natural laziness.  Anyways, I
overcame my laziness enough to put up some pages of my Lego stuff on my
website.  You'll find pictures of my most recent revision of my
minifig-scale Optimus Prime along with my many types of androids that I have
developed over the years.  Over the next few days I hope to add some pages
about my old spaceships too.
    The rest of my website deals with my plans for a manned mission to
Jupiter's moon Ganymede.  I have been working over the years to accumulate
enogh Lego through Bricklink  and various other sources to built a model of
this ship.  However, my recent designs have been changing faster than I can
put the model together so any one version of the ship is never completely
modeled before I change it to something else.  The ship I am making is
designed to be 100% realistic.  I suppose it might take place about 30-40
years in the future (I'm doing research on a probable timeline of future
space events).  Hence, both my designs and the Lego model will only be
incorporating technologies that are being developed now and are sure to
exist by then.
    Hopefully by summer I will have settled into another design I like and
will be home from college long enough to put it all togehter.  Perhaps
during Spring break I will get some pictures of what I have together now.

In any case, please visit the site and let me know what you think!

And now that I've started posting again I look forward to discussing all of
your wonderful creations.

Stephen,

That is a really neat site you have developed!  Your manned mission sounds
really interesting and looks magnificent!  I can see from the available pics
that a LOT of time and effort has gone into its design.  I hear you about
being away from one's collection...I go to Wash U in St. Louis but live in
NJ.  However, I'm taking classes locally this semester and all I can say is
it's great to have access to the bricks.
Your Johnny 5 is excellent!  You seem to have captured his "spirit" well.  A
MINICON Optimus Prime...hehe.  Your larger Optimus Prime is great!  If you
haven't seen Jeremiah Vandermark's working TFs, check 'em out:
http://news.lugnet.com/build/mecha/?n=8215.  He's actually in the process of
making an Optimus (shhh!).
I look forward to seeing your space stuff.

ciao&salaam
