Hello everybody. This week we are happy to share our interview with our guest of honor Michał Kaźmierczak from Poland who is known for his huge dioramas like Erebor, Mustafar and many others. Photos from the work of our guest will be presented between the questions.
Kaplan: We already know you are one of the best LEGO MOC'ers in the world. What can you tell us about yourself other than that. What is your dayjob? Do you have any other hobbies or activities?
Michal Kaźmierczak: Now I feel ashamed :) Generally I am 38 years old. I work in Energy sector as sales director in engineering company. I live in Poland, but I also completed Executive MBA Study in USA. I have two children -11 and 3 years old. I have plenty of hobbies. Except of Lego I have quite big collection of Warhammer Battle armies (painted by myself) and I spend many years in Collective Card Game – Vampire The Eternal Struggle. (My best result ever was Rank 7 in European Championships in this game). I try to learn photography. I am quite good at Photoshop .As a younger person I loved also paper RPG games and I was drawing a lot.
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?
M: I remember it very well. It was around 1983. I have received two LEGO sets from my aunt in France – it was very small sets - 6606 Road Repair Set and 6629 Ambulance. I was 5 years, and I build ambulance by myself without any adult help which I was very proud of ;)
Eurobricks member and LEGO Fan Gabe has shared his latest creation "Fabuland Hobbiton" in Eurobriks forum and in his Brickshelf gallery. This creation is a layout he prepared for Brikvention 2014, a LEGO convention that took place in Melbourne. His amazing layout succesfully combines the world of Fabuland with the Hobbiton from the Lord of the Rings. Hobbit houses with fully decorated interiors, motorized windmill and a beautiful waterfall are some of the great features from the layout.
The layout is detailed with floor textures, many furnitures and accessories
Some of the figures were hand painted to fit the Hobbit theme better, wheras i made others little vests and dresses out of fabric. Additionally the windmill is equipped with power function pieces and with a switch at the back making the sails on the windmill turn
