Hello to all. My Name is Ross. 77 years of age and just ordered my first lego. Land Rover 42110 ordered and on its way. I am experienced hobby watchmaker (someone who services watches), but my eyes are causing me problems. I've decided to try Lego as a hobby. This is the first forum that I have found that has a useable interface for a novice.

I have a number of questions to ask. But before I do, I will spend some time perusing the site and reading as many of the member's post's that I can.

Regards.

Hi Ross, welcome to the community. LEGO is the best hobby I could ever had. Hope we can answer some of your questions.

Welcome to the site, Ross.

Thank you for your welcome. My 42110 has yet to arrive. Therefore I cannot yet make any observation as to Lego use. However I am becoming interest in the use of motion power units in some of builds. Never realised that they could be made to work to simulate what they were build to represent. Bulldozer, car etc.

I obtained my skill in watch repair from YouTubers who spent their time teaching and giving information.

Regarding Lego instruction.

I do notice that many of the YouTube video's made for builds, tend to display their skill at speed. Not good for a novice. It took some time looking at the many videos to find just two who display a 42110 build piece by piece. One talks about it during the build. 50 small videos. Excellent. The other has music in the background and the Build is continuous, but is split over 3 videos.

That is my observation after 5 days. Phew! Good innit?

Hello again. Not a happy bunny. I think I've been scammed. Paid for an ebay 42110. Not arrived, Have applied for refund. I'll wait and see.

Just completed two F1 cars. 72423 and 72424. Beginning the learning curve.

Hi, Ross! I'm new to Brick Picker too! LEGO is the best hobby I have! So fun what you can create with little bricks.
