ADVENTURES IN LEGO

I had basic LEGO sets when I was a kid and made lots of houses.Then one day I went to the local toyshop with a fistful of saved up pocket money and the whole toy world was mine for the choosing. It was then I saw set 924, The Space Transporter, and everything changed. I bought it, and came back for more. I got myself a couple of the smaller classic space vehicles and then I saved up for the holy grail of classic space and got myself set 928, The Galaxy Explorer.

I quickly moved from classic space to Technic and then 'grew up' and put away childish things (luckily only as far away as the loft)

Then a just over a year ago I found myself looking through Flickr and found some amazing pics of LEGO creations, far in advance of anything I had seen before and with a bit of digging around I found out about Adult Fans Of LEGO and I dipped my toes back in the water again.

So many new parts, so many new colours, the options seemed endless. I dug out my old sets and looked on ebay for new sets and found something better, individual bricks for sale, anything I needed, delivered to my door! My collection started to slowly increase, then I found LEGO Digital Designer and Pick-a-Brick and my fate was sealed :D

I am much more of an engineer than I am an architect, so my designs are more functional and less beautiful, but I am totally inspired by so many of the builders on here to try harder.
