Description
Here you can see Capo Rugamarroni, that for non Italian means literally "chestnuts scratcher boss" and can be translated as "bothering boss"
You know, italian language is picturesque.
He is the greater starport principal I have ever had. Under his supervision dozens of amazing spacecrafts have rised.
Well, long time ago, about 20 years to be more exact, I used to play Lego with my brother.
No wonder, I believe many brycers have ecperienced plastic or wood bricks before passing to virtual bricks ;)
Our favourite play was to build starships and spaceports (really original, eh?). It's not strange, since we had two different minds and bricks were not infinite, that we had some conflicts to solve in managing our projects.
It was not easy at all to trade: If I was using a rare or unique piece for our ship I could not easily "copy" and "paste" it for my brother, and viceversa. Big trouble then, since one day Capo rugamarroni decided to manage it for us.
How? It's simple.
You had to take him (Capo is male)in your hand and pull him toward your brother, then shake his head with your finger and speak with fake voice, like when you breathe in helium. Then say: "capo rugamarroni (boss bother), I think we should use three wings for this ship, and not two." or whatelse you wanted.
Incredible, but true, this simple trick helped us a lot in accepting each other suggestions.
Naturally Capo was not only a great trader, but used to make funny, amusing comments too.
For this reason I decided to put Bender here: he is practically the nephew of Capo.
By the way, bender was made from Rickard Thorsell, and is downloadable here: www.the3dstudio.com
So, this picture is for my brother, and the good memories of our childhood.
A little consideration more:
Making virtual Capo Rugamarroni took me about five hours included looking for the wonderful Leocad freeware (if you want to play Lego with bryce it's a must) + a couple of hours of render
It took me five minuts to build the real one. When i realized this I felt a vague suspicion of having been teased.
Hmmm...
Forgive me if sometimes you don't understand my macaronic English
Thanks for reading and viewing,

Very good, I always love lego pictures. The bender needs to be a bit smoother though, looks very low poly, especially compared to the other guys smooth curves.

Cristo santo! Cosa posso dire? Io non c'ero quando c'era LUI... pero' ne ho sentito parlare cosi' spesso... E il raccontino e' veramente carino... il "macaroni English" c'e', poco, e va benissimo cosi'! Che dire delle Forst? Un must! Ape Piaggio? GENIALE! BRAVO!
