Pittstop is a project creator on LEGO CUUSOO. He has created twenty projects most of them mecha themed. He has several ongoing series of projects including "Operation: Steam Knights", "Combinators", "DigitalKnights" and "CyberAgents".
Background[]
Pittstop is a former office worker and currently is an English teacher. His spare time interests have included fan fiction writing, illustration, computer gaming and virtual LEGO construction. He has a preference for science fiction and fantasy which is a heavy influence on his LEGO designs.
Pittstop has been MOCing since 2007, mostly digitally, after a break from LEGO bricks of over 20 years. Initially only having an internet presence on the official LEGO Digital Designer galleries, he progressed to posting on MOCpages, Flickr and DeviantArt. During 2010 Pittstop discovered Cuusoo and decided to post his "CyberAgent" series of MOCs there in the hopes of it being picked up as a project, as this series had been particularly popular on MOCpages. Due to limitations in the image uploading system in Cuusoo, many of his earliest attempts were rejected due to quality issues and Pittstop stopped posting new projects for about six months.
In 2012 the image issues were addressed and Pittstop became a prolific contributor adding individual concepts and multiple associated projects.
On-line Presence[]
Pittstop is known by a number of names on-line. He normally goes by the names of andros, tempest and pittstop. He appears on facebook under his real name of Steven John. Pittstop has been forced on a number of occasions to demonstrate that these accounts are held by one individual after accusations of "swiping".
Future[]
Pittstop has a huge collection of digital designs and concepts hosted under his other accounts on Brickshelf, MOCpages, DeviantArt and Flickr which have not yet been adapted as concepts for Cuusoo. Pittstop plans to address this in 2013.
