LEGO® – A hobby as old as I am
I just started walking, but I can't remember very well. The little fork lift was the first LEGO® set from my parents.
Licence to play
In the early 80's the family visited LEGOLAND® in Billund/Denmark. I still got my Licence to play :-)
Long time ago ...

[My first
US-Truck (ca. 1985)]
[A 4-axle
MAN (ca. 1990)]
[Just before
I entered the Dark Ages (1993)]
Dark-Ages
Between summer 1993 and spring 2000 I had my Dark Age period. Just once a year I got the latest LEGO® catalogue. In 1998 I bought the 8880 Super Car – and missed a lot of other nice sets, e.g. the Model Team series. These days the Model Team series is my only 100% complete LEGO® theme.
Present days
The internet brought me back to my old hobby. First of all I discovered Dennis Bosman's fantastic Website. 1000steine , lugnet and brickshelf are often visited website till today and many many MOC's were built – as you can see on this website.
