Dude, I don't know why, but I just feel like writing this. But this is gonna BLOW YOUR MIND. When I was like 11, I was on Brickshelf and I saw this absoutely kickass Optimus Prime model (yours). I thought it was the coolest, most ridiculously huge LEGO model ever, and I remember telling myself "I'll never be able to build anything like that". One of the first things I ever built was an Optimus Prime model that was essentially an attempt to emulate yours. Do you know what this means? I started building while looking up to you. You were my goddamn inspiration to build LEGO models. In the most litteral sense of the word, you were my inspiration. That sounds so weird now, but it's true. I don't wanna sound sappy, but if it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't even be on flickr, or even have involved myself in the community. Crazy right?
