ive been a HUGE lego fan ever since i was a kid, i still by minifigs on a regular basis (for display and for future generations to enjoy playing).
Lego was my first step into modelbuilding, seeing those old boxes from the late80's and early/mid 90's really bring back the best childhood memories.

ok, time to take the legobricks out of the attic  ;D

From Gizmodo ------> "The Legos Whiz Kid" - This 14-Year-Old Kid Is a Lego Genius (http://gizmodo.com/5950663/this-14+year+old-kid-is-a-lego-genius)

Some amazing work by this young lad from the Netherlands.  His diorama is very detailed and it gives me a moment here to consider a new form of camouflage.  Something better than all of the other digital camouflage patterns now available like DigiCam, MultiCam, CadPat, MarPat, and whatever other silly pattern names I have overlooked.  The new camouflage would be called LegoCam or maybe LegoFlage :)
