It’s a question that I do keep getting asked – which I don’t mind as it means people have been looking at the site (and having a small ego.. it feels great)
I started to take pictures so I could demonstrate Scouting lessons (finding North, setting out a campsite, etc) but then my mind started to think of “fun” things I could illustrate with the Lego characters. This has worked quite well and I know there are more lessons I can use the figures to demonstrate things (and it’s quite interesting building the scenes)
Then, I found Lego Minifigures. I could buy single “people” – and that was the next step; get a new figure, think of an amusing scenario, take picture.
Then I started to get more specific – buying specific pieces to build the “mini me”.
I started to note that some pictures were more suitable than others for cards… so that got me thinking.
The final step was as I started to get into writing the next story, I started to think I could illustrate the book with pictures of Lego characters. So that introduced the next step – and yup, a collection of images will no doubt come from that too.
Hopefully, this has given you a background why a 40-(cough) person is playing with Lego. Still.
