It sounds like a good idea to start. Go for it!
Tips: use a lot of arches, to give ceilings the "hole" look. And maybe an
innocent construction above to divert attentions, who knows?...

I'm not *that* older... but I remember the time I was twelve as a lot less
stressful (for instance, I managed to *sleep* a lot more AND still find the
time to play with my LEGO). It had its limitations, though... so I sort of

I meant *after* you get the camera. BTW, happy birthday! (in advance for
August :-)
Of course, you can always use a conventional camera and later scan the
photos. But it is usually not as effective as a DC.
