This weeks guest of honor is Jonas Kleinalstede a.k.a. Brick Vader from Germany. He is known for his great vignettes in mostly historical themes. His creations are full of great building techniques and incredible mini-figure usage together with purist customizing. The texturing and details in his creations are also outstanding as well. 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 real name? What is your dayjob? Do you have any other hobbies or activities?
Jonas: My Name is Jonas and i’m from a small town from Germany. I’m 18 years old, and up until a few months ago I was a student, but I graduated in June. I’m currently working at McDonalds till September when I will go to New Zealand for six months. I also did some little videography gigs in the last couple of months. I'm pretty much interested in most forms of art, from film-making and music to fashion. I also force myself to read sometimes and do some sports.
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?
J: I don’t know, how old I was, but I think it was a holiday day and my sister and I where bored, so my mother took us to the local toyshop and bought the first
„Real“ Lego set, before that I only had DUPLO. It was one of those buckets with a bunch of bricks and those weird Jack Stone Type Minifigures.
