First of all, I would like to thank Tim for showing off all his loot. All I
could do was smile at all the sets and MOCs.
I think young Joshua is more than ready to start playing with Tim's toys. From
what I saw Tim is not quite ready to share his toys with Joshua. :) I can
appreciate that.
Seeing all the sets on display was wonderful and I can not wait until I have a
dedicated (or even semi dedicated) room for display and assembly.
You just need more shelves for your sets Tim. I was thinking it would be great
if there was a way to build a winding road from shelf to shelf out of Lego.
Something like a multilevel garage. Then all the town folks could really get
around.
Tim's trains are cool. I have never seen a lot of those sets close up. I
realized that many of these models are much better looking than the boxes
portray them. It seems pretty expensive to get into though (I could be
wrong)...and I would really want the space to leave everything set up for
display.
Yes Tim, I would really like those diver set's you have. I will have to keep
my eyes open for them online and in the stores or stumble across something you
really really want maybe.
I have gotten the purchasing bug lately and it has mostly been on-line. You
see it all started off innocently enough. I was working on MOC sub and
realized...I just do not have enough yellow plates and slants and propellers
and octagonals etc. So as I found the stuff I want on the web, I would stumble
across other pieces for ..... future projects...ya ... thats it. I think I
have taken care of a few of the shortcomings of my Rubbermaid containers now.
I can't wait to get them.
I discovered something interesting the other day while working on my submarine.
When building a model of your own, it is wise to stick a mini-fig inside the
model for scale purposes. It was 2 in the morning when I realized the poor
folks were going to have to crawl around between decks. So I got a chance to
make it bigger. :) I had a good giggle.
Well, I just thought I would stop by and say hi. It has been very quite here
lately. Are there still people stopping by or is every one out doing yard
work? Has anyone scored any new sets lately?
Thanks again Tim for the meeting it was fun. I am looking forward to the next
one.
