Paul Coombs
("Metal and Magic")
Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Castle, Bionicle, Mars, Technic (not necessarily in that order)
My fascination with LEGO began... When I was a kid. My cousin had a huge (as it seemed at the time) box of lego pieces that we used to dump out on the floor and play with.
I once built... a 4 wheel drive dune buggy with a chain driven transfer case. It had a 4-speed gear box and a full roll cage. It took me forever (in the mid 80s) to get the front wheel drive/steering combonation to work.
Someday I will build... a full size drop ship to put my mech-type creations in.
LEGO is great because... it's one of the best ways to bring your imagination to life!
LEGO fans are great because... they're special people. It takes a lot of playful imagination to stay involved in Lego past high school (or earlier) not to mention guts.
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Computers, video cameras
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Computers, video taping/editing, Frisbee and oh yes! Lego!
My favorite Foods: Chinese, Vietnamese (Oriental), Pizza, Bread, Bread, Bread
My favorite Movies & TV: Hawk, the Slayer, LOTR etc. etc. TV? The only show on TV worth watching is Red Green!
My favorite Artists: David A. Trampier
My favorite Music: Acappella (the group and the style), The Vocal Union, The Ventures!
My favorite Pets & Animals: fish.
Words which best describe me: Laid back
I love it when... I get a cool idea for a MOC and it turns out as cool as the idea.
I hate it when... I get too busy!
I can't seem to get enough... Lego, time, sleep (not that I like to sleep, I just don't like to be tired!)
I always seem to have enough... work!
I hope I always... get to build with Lego. I'm planning to use Lego as my retirement hobby. If I develop arthritis it's going to kill me!
I wish I could... spend my time building and writing and drawing instead of working and working and working.
I could never... give up my faith.
I wish I hadn't... been so stupid when I was younger.
In my craziest moments... I dance. Doesn't happen very often. Twice so far.
Believe it or not... I'm older than I look - or act.
If I were super-human... I'd probably be Spiderman.
More & Less:
- more time, less work
- more intelligence in the world at large., less stupidity in the world at large.
Rules I try to live by:
- The Golden Rule. If you don't know what that is, shame on your parents!
- (Do to others what you would have them do to you.)
Additional comments:
I don't have a personal web page yet, but I do have a domain (MetalandMagic) and hopefully someday soon it will be up and running with pictures and a full story. For now, I have a Brickshelf account:
