Dov Andrews ("Cid", "Comrade.Cid theKillerRabbit")
Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Ninja, ninja, ninja. And castle. But mostly
ninja.
My fascination with LEGO began... When I was 2 or 3. My parents gave me Lego
(Duplo) and said "Play with this. You'll like it."
So I stuck it in my mouth and was hooked.
I once built... I had a European building spree a number of
years ago. I had the good fortune to visit a
number of famous places personally, and so
was able to get an excellent sense of scale
and composition. Among the things I built
were minifig-superdeformed-scale versions
of: York Cathedral , Westminster Abbey, both
with flying buttresses, stained glass, etc. -The
Coliseum in Rome, both in ruined and
restored versions -A number of castles
-Various historical Chinese buildings -An
adolescent spree: a 10-foot lego tower,
promptly destoyed by my mother and her
vacuum cleaner. -2 different galley ships w/
sails and rigging, a few years befor the Pirate
stuff came out. i once affixed lego wheels to
the bottom of one and watched it scoot about
the back porch on a windy day. -A small west
european medieval village
Someday I will build... Currently at work on a feudal japanese fishing
town. Landscape size is 6x4.5 baseplates
(i.e., roughly the same number of feet). Will
include the full gamut of basic buildings and
services, including lighting for most buildings.
Currently have atunnel hideout in one of the hills, incomplete fortifications, rough layout of streets and river/canal system, and prototype buildings.
LEGO is great because... It fosters problem-solving skills,
conceptualisation of 3-D spaces and objects,
and allows one to create worlds of your own in
an infinite number of variations.
LEGO fans are great because... They are often bright, imaginative, and fun to
share your excitement about Lego with.
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Starcraft. ooh.. i love Starcraft... oh.. .and Castle Wolfenstein.
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Lego, reading/working on graphic novels, graphic design, foreign film
My favorite Foods: Thai, Red Bull, Gewurtzraminer wine, dark chocolate
My favorite Movies & TV: old Twilight Zone, Stanley Kubrick films, old Sci-Fi
My favorite Artists: Mark Ryden, Shag, Lucian Freud
My favorite Music: Most forms of electronica/experimental music, with a soft spot for hard house.
My favorite Pets & Animals: Psychotic cannibalistic fish
Words which best describe me: Obsessed.
If I were super-human... I'd change every instance of the word "Lord" or
"God" in every Bible in the world to "Elvis".
