Hello. This seems like the perfect place for me to make my very first post. I
am "bccook" and I truly appreciate the kind words. Forgive the extremely late
response as I have just became a member of Lugnet this week. I will take this
opportunity to clear up a few questions brought up here. I am indeed Janey, the
engraved red brick was a birthday gift from another AFOL and yes, that is me,
with the red brick tattoo. As speculated, I am from Canada, (Ontario) and I
have spent the last 2-3 years trying to recoup lost time (and sets) of an overly
long dark ages (20 years long). As for the micro and the large scale of red
brick house, they are indeed versions of the home I reside in. The large
version was scaled so one brick on the real house was actually represented by
one Lego in the MOC, which ended up making the dimensions of the Lego version
about 6 feet long and wide. Which coincidentally (and totally unintentionally)
makes it very close to Barbie scale. As for the micro creations, some of them
are my own creations, a few of them are ideas directly pinched from other
Brickshelf folders (I wish I could take credit for them all, but imitation is
supposed to be the best form of flattery, right? So I hope that pinching ideas
is acceptable). Making the micros was very enjoyable and certainly a nice change
of pace from the big red brick house. Once again, thank you for the
encouragement.
Happy Building

| Hi Janey, Welcome to Lugnet! I have to say I'm a fan. I was just looking at your Wizard of Oz creations--very fun. And of course the microscale things which I've twice highlighted here. I look forward to seeing more from you. Bruce (21 years ago, 12-May-04, to lugnet.build.microscale)
