About Me

Born in 1963, I played with LEGO from about 1968 to 1976. Started really building with LEGO bricks in 2004. After building a variety of MOCs in different subjects, I have concentrated on replicas of Detroit buildings. The 2007 NMRA National Train Show, held in Detroit, was a highlight of my MichLUG/MichLTC membership. I have also been involved in building a few commissioned projects (Tony the Tiger for Kellogg and MET/MESP piggy bank sculpture).

My LEGO Projects

My first MOC as an adult was the Tower of Orthanc at Isengard (Lord of the Rings).
In early 2005, I completed a large minifig scale model of the Fisher Building in Detroit Michigan.
Spring of 2006, I completed a replica of the David Stott Building.
Summer of 2007, after 8 months of mostly waiting for parts, I completed my tallest building – the Penobscot Building.
In early 2009, I completed a replica of the Ford Building which was later displayed in the real Ford Building on its 100th anniversary (Nov. 12, 2009).
