Tim’s leadership on Flickr, LDraw, and in the train community make him an obvious choice for Lego Ambassador. His contributions on the Brothers Brick are always top of the line. He was involved in the Hobby Train set, which shows that he knows what the Lego fan community wants. Tim is member of many different fan sites and already keeps his finger on the pulse of the community. I believe these are all excellent qualifications for a Ambassador to have. I think Tim would make an exceptional Ambassador.

Tim is an active member of the adult fan community both in person and online. He is one of the handful of Australians that are active in the broader online community and yet also participates in local LEGO community activities. Tim is an very imaginative and talented builder whose tastes span a variety of LEGO themes. He is also an extremely capable proponent LEGO digital design. Tim is a member of LUGnet, Classic Castle, Builders Lounge and the Flickr communities (amongst others) where he is an actively positive influence, contributing ideas, critique and encouraging others to build. Tim is a regular contributor to popular The Brothers Brick web-blog showcasing a variety of creations from across the community, most especially the finest examples of trains and digitally designed creations. Tim is a popular member of the community both on a local and global level and would make an excellent choice as LEGO Ambassador.

Tim Gould’s contributions to the worldwide LEGO fan community are incalculable. Tim’s talent as a builder spans both virtual bricks and the real deal, ranging from fantastical cave racers (for good or ill, he started it all) to realistic cars and trains.

Tim’s building skills aren’t limited to our favorite plastic bricks. Tim builds community wherever he goes, whether through his online activities (LDRAW Steering Committee, The Brothers Brick contributor, Flickr gadfly, and more) or in person (both in the UK and in Australia). An excellent communicator, Tim’s notorious wit only adds to his charm.

I feel lucky to have someone of Tim’s caliber as a contributor to The Brothers Brick, and I fully support his nomination as a LEGO Ambassador representing our readership community.
