Today's guest of honor is Bob De Quatre from France who is known for his great Sci-fi MOC's with incredible shapes. He is also a Sci-fi section moderator in popular LEGO fan community forum Eurobricks.com. Photos from the work of our guest will be presented between the questions.
Kaplan: In our opinion, you are one of the best LEGO Sci-fi MOC'ers in the world. What can you tell us about yourself other than that. What is your real name? What is your dayjob? Do you have any other hobbies or activities?
Bob: I'm a software engineer, living in south of France (a few kilometers away from Vince_toulouse). I'm part of the Eurobricks staff as Sci-Fi Moderator. I enjoy watching movies and reading books, mostly Science-fiction.
K: Do you remember the day when you got your first LEGO set? Which set was it? And How old were you when you started playing with LEGO bricks?
B: I don't remember it precisely... I think it was a castle set, back in the early 80's. My older sister got some Duplo and Fabuland sets, so I guess it all started with these.
This week we have one of the best historical MOC builders as our Guest. Marco den Besten from the Netherlands who is known for his huge historical/fantasy cities and castle MOC's was kind to answer our questions. Photos from the work of our guest will be presented between the questions.
Kaplan: We already know that
you are one of the best MOC'ers in the world. What can you tell us about
yourself other than that? What is your day job? Do you have any other hobbies
or activities?
Marco: I work in retail for a
living. Yes, one of those jobs were you have to cope with wining customers all
day. It’s a good thing I’ve got LEGO to relax. Other than, of course, building,
I like fishing, plenty of water here in the Netherlands. And I like hiking,
which I prefer doing in mountainous areas. But that’s something we don’t have
here, unfortunately.
K: Do you remember your
first day when you get your first LEGO set?
M: I think I got my first
sets when I was around three, so I don't recall my very first one. However, I
do remember the first large set I got. It was the 6271, Imperial Flagship.
Which I was, of course, very happy with, and it is one of the best Lego ships
ever made. So were all the ships that were made during those years.
