Welcome Staff Members Doctor Sinister and Gorazd!


Hey there guys. It looks liek we have another TWO staff members that need announcing!

Firstly, I'd like to welcome Doctor Sinister onto Brickspace. Many of you will know him from his Flickr or MOCpages account, and we're incredibly proud to have him here. He's already made a post (I'm always very slow at posting these welcome messages, I never know when is the right moment. I'll try harder next time), and we all hope we'll see more like that from him in the future. The Doc is also standing to be the chairman of Brickish, the English LUG, so if you are a member, vote for Doctor Sinister!

Gorazd Vahen, or 'Kaitimar' on Flickr, is also joining us. Unfortunately we have been having a few problems with his account, but you should see him on here in the next few weeks!

So make these two new staff members at home, all you lot. And watch out for the 5th Jørgen comic, coming on here very VERY soon! 

Ralph's Minifigs travel in real comfort.



Ralph Savelsberg's green Minifig scale green coach is the business - complete with "rabbit ear" wing mirrors, ingenious working doors and two rows of seating inside. I just hope those seats aren't covered with that sticky stuff that was always there when I went out on a school trip...

Doctor Augustus Julius Sinister IV is a 37 year old evil genius intent on absolute universal domination.  Part-man, part-machine, part LEGO (he swallowed a small piece as a child), he somehow manages to occupy the same brain as his more down-to-Earth alter ego, Andrew Summersgill, although it's getting a bit fraught in there and the legroom leaves much to be desired.

Both Andrew and his evil counterpart are LEGO obsessed and between them they have a permanent LEGO town (Tabletown) in their garage which is used as a testbed for future world domination experiments.  The space beneath Tabletown is also a good place to hide from local law enforcement authorities when they come to pay a visit.

With an unending series of clones to replace him, Doctor Sinister is seemingly immortal and invincible - his one weakness being his penchant for cloning genetically modified and cybernetically enhanced Allosaurs as "pets". Rumour has it that an accident with one of these creatures is the cause of his cybernetic eye and robotic arm, but such stories are strenuously denied - on pain of death.

Andrew meanwhile is a staff member at Brickset and a regular contributor to displays hosted by his LUG, the Brickish Association (http://www.brickish.org/).
