I’d like to tell you the “bite-off more than I can chew” syndrome gets better, but most AFOLs I know have that tendency! I think you’ll get a lot of good reactions. Michael: That is awesome! It’s hard seeing what is out there and feeling unmotivated to tackle a subject that excites you because it has been done so often. I’m glad that you found a unique take on a Sherman to finally build one. I try to build only for my sake, not for the praise of others, but there was a driving force that made me want to see how the public would react to it at shows, and how people would react to a distortion of a friendly childhood figure. Also, I sensed that it would be a popular build. I tend to bite off more than I can chew and come up with projects that exceed my free time and financial constraints at this point in my life, so having a smaller project that I could work on also made me want to build it. Finding a way to finally build an accurate Sherman tank while still building something unique, quickly rose to the top of my build list. So, building an accurate World War tank has never been on my “to build” list despite my love of them. But I have a hard time finding any passion in building something others have done, done well, and done many a time before. I love the history of tanks, and I especially like researching and learning about the evolution of tanks during the Second World War. Michael: What made you know you had to build it?Ĭaleb: I knew I wanted to build Thomas right away as I’ve always wanted to build a LEGO tank.
