Ughh... you’re killing me here... I just got 8436 for Christmas... I want to
build this... I need instructions... argh... I don’t have your skills... I
just want to recreate yours...

:-S Are you sure you want me to share more of this??! It seems like it’s not
good for you and I really don’t want to get you upset or something.
|
Aw, you know I’m just kidding. Please, don’t stop! I’m not really upset. I was
just trying to guilt you into making me instructions... :-)
| |
Actually I feel a bit ashamed I didn’t help you out more to reconstruct the
models... Maybe it’s because I’m a little afraid that someone else in
general will use it for personal gain as discussed on Lugnet before.
Ofcourse I know you wouldn’t do that, but I don’t think it’s fair either
to help just a few persons....
|
Okay, maybe I’ve been too pushy about the instructions and the guilt trip.
Please, don’t feel ashamed. My begging for instructions is part out of desire
for them and part a way to show you how much I love your work. While I’d love
to have instructions for this stuff I know how making instructions can be a
drag. Especially when you have new ideas you’d rather be building, which seems
to often be the case for you. You’re quite prolific! If I lived by you in
Holland I really would offer to come over and do the instruction-izing for you
so you can keep working on new ideas. I don’t get many ideas anyway ;-).
About the fear of people copying your stuff, I don’t know what to say.
Unfortunately there really are folks out there who rip stuff off. There are
also lots of folks who would love to have your instructions. I can’t tell you
how to balance the two. I definitely don’t want you to do something you’re not
comfortable with. They’re your “babies” and you have to feel comfortable with
sharing them. I also understand how you feel funny about just helping a few
people. I don’t have a lot of personal experience with this dilemma (since I
don’t build many MOCs) but maybe other folks around LUGNET can share their
thoughts on this one.
| |
And like you may have expected I didn’t cut new length for the pneumatic
hoses but used the official ones. ;-)
|
Yeah, why did I bother asking? Of course you’d use the official lengths! An
alternate model in the purist sense. I would never expect less...
Regards,
Paul
PS: Congrats on the “official offer” you mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
Best of luck with that. You deserve it!!!
PPS: You mentioned doing a book elsewhere in this thread. I think that would be
cool, too. If you could get it done while a lot of the sets are still on the
market I wonder if TLC would carry it on their website (like Jin Sato’s
Mindstorms book)...
