Hi Everyone - I'm a long-time lurker, first-time poster. My name is Paul. I'm 32 years old and live in the San Francisco Bay area. I'm a graphic designer by trade, recently married, and I love Lego. By now my story is a familiar one - I packed up all of my Legos when I was about 12, and entered my Dark Age. I missed Castle, Pirates, & Blacktron :-( But when I heard that Lego had acquired a license to make Star Wars sets, I was back in a big way. I'm happy to say that I'm now Star Wars complete (though anxiously waiting for the 2001 sets to show up in CA). And most importantly, my folks had the foresight to keep all of my old Legos in storage, so I once again have all of my old sets! My favorite themes are Star Wars (obviously), Space, & Town Sr. My collection is a modest-by-Lugnet-standards 25,000 bricks or so (though I'm working on it). Sorting & storage are important to me, too. I've de-lurked in order to enter Todd's Classic Space contest. I've built three smaller models that combine to make one really big spaceship (I call it the Universe Commander). I've posted pictures at Brickshelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2121 I've also posted pictures of a Star Wars MOC. I originally built this for Mark Sandlin's design-a-civvie contest last summer, but didn't get it finished in time: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2119 LMKWYT. Thanks - Paul

Hi Paul! GREAT DESIGN! I did not compete in teh design contest, but I have only one question: Are we able to use non-classic pieces? The wheels you used as engines are perfect, but I don't know if they were part of the classic series. But I still (...)

(...) What a great way to delurk! I'm not a space fan by any means, but even I can see that these are first-rate constructions. I'm sure we'll all be hearing more of Paul in the future. -- Thomas Main main@appstate.edu (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.people, lugnet.build.contests)
