Today is my 20th birthday... It's a day I've been dreading for quite a while... I'm no longer a teenager and I feel like time is going by way too fast and I didn't spend the past few years doing everything I could have. It's hard to believe my childhood memories were so long ago, and yet they seem so close. I remember when I first started delving into ordinary LEGO, after Duplo. I had a small bin full of Lego Classic sets and a couple of random parts I got from different places. I used to rummage for hours trying to find parts and I had so much fun making cool bases and vehicles. Those days are how my imagination as a builder started, and well, now I'm who I am now.
I also wanna mention how much Flickr and all of you guys mean to me. I had some rough teenage years as a homeschooler and trying to overcome anxieties and finding people who made me feel welcome, and ever since I started posting here, you were all very supportive and gave me some great feedback and building advice. Because of you, I learned tons of new techniques and ideas. You're all amazing builders! So a huge thank to all of my followers :)
Here's a little MOC I crafted last night. I did it more for myself than for the post, since I have a bunch of things from my childhood in there. I used to play with all of those minifigures as a kid and I'm pretty sure some of them are from the early 90's or late 80's. I had a lot of LEGO handed down from my older cousins. I also tried replicating a couple of things I used to build as a kid. Hope you find it interesting!
Happy building guys!
Side note, The Clone Wars came out a decade ago, and in that same amount of time I'll be 30... It's mind-blowing... At least for me. I don't know, maybe the way we perceive time changes as we age. It's weird. Anyway if you're still a teenager, don't wish you were older. Cuz when you get there, you'll still feel the same plus a little bit worse. :')
